About Richard
Richard teaches children and young people that their feelings and emotions are not mental disorders, but rather their God-given instincts to use in the face of any danger (real or imaginary). Children are the future of tomorrow, and if we don't nurture them and empower them to make healthier decisions, the world will suffer for it in the long run.
Richard also teaches individuals how to heal any mental disorder diagnosis by treating the cause. What happened in the past didn’t happen to the person you are today—it happened to a younger aspect of you, your inner child, for instance. That’s why it is imperative to return the baggage and the details of what happened to our younger self, in a safe and non-intrusive manner.
Richard does this by introducing individuals to a new 12-step program (one of 14 such programs designed off of the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, with their permission). It’s always been an inside job. Medication is the equivalent of putting a band-aid on an open wound; it only offers short-term relief. No, we need to teach folks to heal the hole in their soul that is eating away at them. To do this, we need to treat the soul with a spiritual solution.
Richard teaches clients to come to this process with open-mindedness, willingness and honesty—acknowledging that the best efforts of man fail them, and that they need to claim the promised miracles of the Bible:
To cast out their demons
Slay their dragons
Quieten the voices in their head, for up to 24 hours at a time
Break free of the bondage and shackles of the past
Richard prefers not to use pronouns.

References / Things Mentioned During the Stream
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er Vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of dancing Daffodils;
Along the Lake, beneath the trees,
Ten thousand dancing in the breeze.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee: --
A poet could not but be gay
In such a laughing company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.
