I was deeply moved by the story telling of Ronald Braunstein and the honesty of his words and experiences. Cannot wait to hear the next episode!
A moving story about two brothers, one struggling with mental illness, the other learning how to truly listen. It’s heartbreaking, compassionate, and beautifully told. A reminder that real help starts with empathy.
I got very choked up at the emotional ending, and I learned a lot from the discussion about Dr. Amador’s work. Really good!
What a compelling and hopeful story! It’s easy to forget that there are humanistic and empowering ways to successfully deal with mental illness.
Such a fascinating topic and an exciting trailer. Can’t wait for the season to drop!
