Through Robert’s profession as a mental health therapist for 50 years and his personal experiences talking with Spirit, he believes that people are unable to heal from major trauma without contact with some form of Spirit. He shares how one can connect to Spirit and suggests that the mental health crisis is related to people feeling isolated and disconnected from a Spirit. He reads personal messages he received from Spirit that have supported him with healing his own significant abuse to becoming a joyful person.
