Description: An accessible guide to psychedelic psychotherapy and its transformative healing abilities, by a clinical psychologist and psychedelics expert.
Are you living the life you're meant to be living, or fulfilling somebody else's ideas of who you should be? Would you like to learn what's true for you underneath the programming while healing old wounds that keep you living in cycles of trauma, depression, and anxiety? Truth Medicine explains why we often feel stuck and are unable to move forward into a life of thriving, and how psychedelic psychotherapy addresses these essential questions for our well-being. Grounded in research and experience, Truth Medicine answers frequently asked questions about psychedelic psychotherapy--what it is and how it works, and what medicines are used (primarily ketamine, with an overview of other medicines on the horizon, such as MDMA and psilocybin), contraindications, and more. Walking readers through the whole process from preparation through medicine sessions and into integration, Dr. Sapiro also shares case studies that are inspiring, engaging, and raw, for a go-to guide for anyone looking to heal. While Truth Medicine describes in detail how psychedelic psychotherapy works to bring about healing and growth, it ultimately points you back inside yourself, where your own wisdom and truth are waiting to be discovered and lived.Review Quotes: "Dr. Michael Sapiro is a brilliant therapist and brings a heartful presence to every interaction.
