A MOTHER'S GRACE QUARTERLY BLOG 9th edition


Well here we are some months later after a long stay at the state hospital and although my Joe has been doing okay, the voices still plague him! The meds will only go so far...we are in need of something else. I still firmly believe in diet, vits, and other natural remedies, and all that beautiful healing way, but unless someone can be on call for Joe 24/7 to help him deal with the voices in whatever means...it will end up staying the same as it is now...in and out of hospitals adjusting meds! In Joe's case and in most cases , this healing model doesn't work! I have researched and found a group called hearingvoices.org and I will contact them and maybe find a way to start a support group in Joe's area. I have also done some reading on Carl Jung...it all sounds good on the internet , but where are the people schooled in this? Has no one come up with some behavioral therapy for hearing voices? I will keep searching and talking and praying! For right now, my Joe took control in some way this past week and when the voices were so strong, he told his case manager he should go in the hospital because he didnt feel safe. That has never happened before and albeit scary, he took control...unfortunately the only answer was back in the hospital. But we pray.....
