I just don't understand what other types of things to write about or describe...i am probably going to be putting up a post later that may have to do with what you're looking for

actually, NO!, not for professionals and diagnosis, its more a human to human thing, like, because of being inside the experience, rather than seeing it from outside as profs do.
its the shared experience that can make the connection to others that is otherwise often cut off for schizy people.

so, the benefit is that its possible to get healing in this way, as opposed, for example to having drugs. and then with understanding, we can help others who deal with the same issues, thats the idea I'm coming from.
