I met this guy online about 12 years ago who turned out to be really a good councilor for me. He didn't have a degree in psychology but had did a lot reading and research. He wrote a book that I came across and his theory really rang true to me when I looked back at some of the content of my psychotic episodes. I found his website and emailed him and we got to be pretty good online friends. He passed away about a year and a half ago unfortunately. My therapy now consist of mainly reading books. I guess there is a term for it called Bibliotherapy.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I heard kind of a humorous saying a while back;

The difference between a madman and a mystic is the mystic knows who not to tell.
Thanks for "bibliotherapy."

I loved the joke, and if others "know what's good for them" they will, as well. The field of Psychoneuroimmunology endorses Therapeutic Humor--the mind healing the body. Of course, one man's joke is another man's insensitive barb, so you're on your own in that regard.

Seriously, nothing has ever been as consistently effective for me as humor.
