WELCOME!
My name is Chris and I am a mental health professional, researcher, writer, coach, and advocate. I have worked with those dealing with homelessness, mental illness, and addiction issues for over 30 years.
I write under my first name because my professional life sits inside the same system I’m often writing about. I’m not hiding—I’m just finishing something important before stepping out fully.
Everything here comes from lived experience: years inside the mental health world, the consequences of being labeled, the struggle to break free, the identity shrinkage, the drinking, the grief, the long nights, the rebuilding.
My voice is real.
My story is real.
My name will come later.
About This Site: Exposing the System. Breaking the Spell. Empowering the Individual.
This is a place for people who know the system is rigged, and who are ready to fight back.
This site was born out of lived experience:
-
Coerced into diagnoses just to receive help
-
Trapped in cult-like “treatment” centers posing as recovery
-
Watching veterans and unhoused neighbors be pathologized and discarded
-
Told that we are powerless unless we obey
But we are NOT powerless. And we are NOT alone.
-
Here, we dismantle the myths that dominate the mental health industry.
-
We uncover the money trail behind your diagnosis.
-
We call out the cult tactics of rehab centers and shelters.
-
We offer alternatives that don’t require you to become a patient to get better.
-
We combine radical truth-telling, research, and rebellious art to challenge the narrative and offer a different path—one based on presence, self-awareness, and human dignity.
If you’ve ever felt like something wasn’t right with how “help” is handed out…
If you’ve ever questioned your diagnosis…
If you’re ready to recover on your own terms…
You’re in the right place.
