Many more live in silence, believing that what they're experiencing is normal, or convincing themselves that medication for the mind is something to be ashamed of. This is the story of Sean's quest for normalcy. Sean Michael Hayes is the author of a trilogy of books about his experience, the first of which, Five Weeks in the Amazon is available here. We just barely graze it in our episode, but the book spans the full breadth of Sean's time in Peru. Look for his second memoir, I Killed a Black Dog, coming soon. If you're not familiar with the quote, think Churchill. Patreon news! Once a month we'll be debuting extra-special bonus vignettes exclusive to our contributors.
