Hi! I'm Daniel Mackler, a filmmaker, musician, hitchhiking wanderer, former New York City psychotherapist, and explorer of creativity and life. A few years ago I put my four full-length documentary films (about recovery from psychosis without meds) online for free, and lately I've been putting up all sorts of new stuff. Interests: childhood trauma and its effects, self-therapy, emotional healing without pills, becoming a true self, being an artist, and taking the risk -- terrifying but true!!
