As someone with a loved one who has lived with and survived these sorts of experiences, I deeply appreciated Tim Dreby’s unique, non-medicalized approach to support. From my own experience, many of Tim’s recommendations and suggestions — likely considered “radical” to mainstream psychiatry — are exactly what people going through these crises are desperately needing: to be listened to, to not be ridiculed or stigmatized, to be treated as though what is happening to them has meaning, & to be treated as fully human with something to share for the rest of us.
