This week we re-visit an amazing episode with Sarah Martin, who received a text in the middle of the night from a stranger, saying that her 21 year old Daughter, Alice, who was traveling on the other side of the world, was in trouble. Alice was last seen in Turkey, while Sarah and the rest of the family, live in Australia. This episode is a rollercoaster, as Sarah begins a race to rescue Alice from what appeared to be a psychotic break, in a city thousands of miles away. Sarah has written a book about the ordeal, and you can listen to it first hand in this raw, emotional and incredible episode! 'Dear Psychosis', is Sarah's debut book and is an account of her family's experience following their daughter's first-ever psychotic episode and the trauma that ensued. It is a story of recovery, hope and the power of family.

FROM THE ARCHIVE OF SEASON ONE: Kyle knew something was seriously wrong, in a panic, he drove himself to the ER, and woke up 17 days later. A huge medical event had left him in a coma, he had flatlined for 11 minutes, and his family had been called in to say goodbye. We discuss the events leading up to, during, and after this life changing experience. Its utterly unbelievable!
