To Insanity and Beyond: a Mental Health Memoir

Facing the past is the key to a fulfilling future, but it won’t come easy. George must lose his taste for absolute freedom to experience ultimate freedom from the darkness that plagues him. Avoiding his dark past leads this loner to a padded cell and a strait Jacket. Facing it would lead to liberty, but he can’t do it alone. This memoir covers George’s journey from suburban stability through childhood trauma, to a diagnosis of schizophrenia and sanity beyond it. Trauma that arrests George’s development in childhood spawns a search for unshakable security. Resilience requires the ability to see trauma within a larger perspective, and George takes the reader along with him as he develops this ability.
