WOUNDED​ HEALER
A SHAMANIC PATH TO FREEDOM
The state commonly labeled as “manic-depression” is described here not as a mental illness, but as a profound psychological process—one Jung saw as needing completion in order to reset the psyche.
​
In this view, extreme mood states represent a deep encounter with the unconscious rather than a chronic disease to be suppressed.
​
Contemporary psychiatry is portrayed as interrupting this inner process by chemically numbing the psyche, which is said to cause serious harm to the individual.
• The text argues that, because the mental health system is heavily financed by pharmaceutical companies, profit tends to take precedence over genuine healing.
Authors such as John Perry, R.D. Laing, Thomas Szasz, Roberto Assagioli, and Carl Jung are invoked to support the idea that psychotic or manic breaks can be terrifying but meaningful encounters with the unconscious, occurring without a strong enough ego to contain the experience.
From this standpoint, such crises are not viewed as “illnesses” but as destabilizing, potentially transformative psychological events
​
Responsibility is ultimately placed on each person to investigate, question, and choose a path of healing rather than automatically accepting drug-centered care

Your way forward will often be met with hostility, doubt, and misunderstanding.
• Those who have never entered this altered state of consciousness—including many mental health professionals and clergy—typically have no inner reference point from which to truly help
​
The initial phase of this experience generally requires about six weeks for the individual to begin reorienting to what is happening.
Periods of seclusion, along with supportive changes in diet and lifestyle, are presented as essential elements of the healing process
In earlier decades, dedicated centers such as Diabasis House, Soteria House, The Agnews Project, Burch House, and I‑Ward were created to support this process and consistently showed outcomes that validated a non‑medication approach
​
These programs were eventually closed due to lack of funding, while the conventional medical model, worth billions of dollars, was expanded because it generated profit rather than simple healing.
Confronting a billion‑dollar system is extremely difficult and often futile.
A more empowering choice is to do your own research and consciously design a personal system of healing that aligns with your experience and values.

Mistaken for Mental Illness
Long Distance Healing (LDH)
I offer LDH as a service for those who are not in my area. The cost is $150.00. There has to be an exchange with any interaction. In the shamanic culture the exchange was within the community as the shaman services helped the people and in turn the people supported the shaman but this culture does not exist today. In our culture the exchange is based on a monetary system.
Long Distance Healing works because there is no time and space in the spirit world. As all shamanic healing deals with the spiritual aspect of the issue.
The healing is done through spirit, the practitioner is just the medium who connects both worlds.
Our helping spirits are always present. Our challange is to acknowledge and be open to receive the gifts they have to offer. By re-establishing this connection we re-connect to our source.

There needs to be a collaboration between our physical world and the spiritual world. The shamanic practitioner developes this connection.
The practitioner's effectiveness is directly related to the depth and understanding of this connection
In todays society we have lost our connection to spirit. We have removed ourselves so far from nature that we do not consider ourselves a part of nature. We stand apart and alone from the very essence of our being. This disconnection is the dis-ease that we all experience.
