Description:
A raw and often painful journey of finding one's way back to Self, Dear Parts intimately depicts the hard work of healing from the inside out after years of emotional neglect, through conventional and plant-medicine assisted therapy.
Brief description: Kim Taylor is a physician, endurance athlete, and trauma survivor whose healing journey led her beyond the limits of conventional medicine and into the world of deep inner work. After facing a series of physical and emotional breaking points-including an MS diagnosis, caregiving burnout, and the collapse of old coping systems-Kim turned inward.Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), and somatic-based therapy, Kim began to map the complex landscape of her inner world-one part at a time. Writing became her way in.In this debut work, Kim shares her story not as a therapist, but as someone who's done the hard work of healing from the inside out. Her letters, reflections, and raw accounts of transformation offer a unique perspective for anyone navigating trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, or the longing to reconnect with the Self.She lives with her rescue dog, Dobby, and continues to explore what it means to belong to herself.
