Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on the work of Gabor Maté, Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine, the author explores concepts that he found to be hidden and understated as he aggressively dug into his own trauma, curiously explored the strange new world of somatics, and daringly experimented with mind-altering psychedelics.
This book addresses your real, down-to-earth concerns. It removes barriers and improves accessibility to recovery methods by providing:
- Evidence-based research, quoted from the experts, explained in layman's terms
- Advocation of all recovery methods, from the more traditional to the rarely discussed
- A no-nonsense discussion of what to expect (Spoiler: It will get worse before it gets better!)
- Practical tips to get you started
- Humorous interjections and inspirational messages to keep you going
Trauma is far more common than we think. Whether you are already intimately familiar with yours, or you don't have the words to express it, there are tools available to you. Somatics and therapeutic psychedelics might just be among them. Gather the knowledge you need to guide yourself down the path of trauma recovery.
