02/05/2022 at 3:42 pmHello I was wondering if you had any contact email or whatever for Alycia? In November of 2020 I spent some time in a psych ward for stressed induced psychosis. I’m beyond grateful for her and others sharing their stories which make me feel less alone. To the point I would love to write a book on my own personal experiences and she’s inspiring to myself.

02/12/2024 at 4:37 pmIn September 2022, she was found on homeless on the street again. She claims that brain scans show no mental illness and that she is not a substance abuser. So, the question is what is the problem?
She is very good at controlling the conversation and sounding as if she has it all together and understanding everything yet she keeps ending up on the street. CBS did a follow up story on this. She also keeps “slipping” in recovery verbiage and said she has 20 years “in recovery.”
Therefore, I believe she is hiding about her drug use. She is a closeted drug user and therefore this entire interview was nothing but a self-proclaimed drunk-a-log. She keep going out to get high, she doesn’t want anyone to know so she ends up on the street, gets arrested, things get worse due to jail and arrests and the vicious cycle begins.
Honesty is so very important. She obviously is not being honest about her struggles because she keeps ending back on the street. She desperately doesn’t want to be this person nor to be known as a person with mental health issues or an addict and she is in what is so, so common: a state of DENIAL.

05/02/2024 at 3:08 pmYes, the question remains, if Alycia’s brain scans show no mental illness and she does not abuse drugs then what can be the problem. I would like to add my opinion because I believe Alycia created her situation when she had a practice where she would practice a form of witchcraft to offer her clients the help by calling on entities from the spiritual realm to assist. I happened to be one of those clients. Very shortly after my first session, I began to feel thoughts that were not my own. I felt like spirits were communicating with me by showing me the same numbers pop up on the clock, receipts, phone numbers an so fourth. This was more than a coincidence. The funny thing is, Alycia asked me if I also noticed the same number pop up everywhere and at the time I had no idea what she was talking about. She claimed they were “Angel Numbers”. That was my first and last session with Alycia. I now was experiencing a spiritual experience every day which scared me in many ways and at some point I thought that I was losing my mind. So to make a long short, my opinion is that Alycia is not crazy. She brought this on herself by using witchcraft and allowing spirits/demons to enter her and she did the same to her clients because they didn’t know any better. This is my take on this situation. I wish her well. She is a nice a person. I just don’t think that her symptoms can be solved with modern medicine.
