Thank you Joe. This was so beautiful and inspiring. Congratulations on your recovery. 1 year, 3 mos and 16 days here. Hearing stories like this reaffirms why I keep going.

I had a similar experience using art therapy on a rich family's child. I was able to help him ease his trauma that has been troubling for almost a year. Now they're considering him a child genius with his art. He'll have his next birthday real soon.
