Episode notes

i've never really thought that anyone truly hearing voices can be seen as of sound mind. If you mean diseasnhealthy mind, then no, not literally. That's is not about ase or health. What about the idea that norms are determined by the masses? E why is my access to so called reality any better than yours? I'm trapped inside myself too, just like you are and everyone else is. We have an obligation to react to our worlds that that we witness. And there's no way for any of us to say my access to reality is the true way and yours isn't.

He is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 20 years of military service as a criminal, counterintelligence, and counterespionage special agent and investigative psychologist in many capacities across the globe. Following his military career, Dr. Ruby has been a psychologist and coach in private practice.
