Synopsis:

Explore how psychedelic therapy can address deep-rooted trauma and help you create a life of balance, resilience, and meaning

A revolutionary approach to treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health challenges, from two leaders in the field of psychedelic therapy and trauma treatment

With a foreword by Gabor Maté

For those grappling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health challenges—and those who feel let down by a fragmented and failing mental health system—Psychedelic Therapy offers a hopeful, evidence-based exploration of a novel approach to healing. As leaders in the field of psychedelic therapy and trauma treatment, Will Van Derveer, MD, and Keith Kurlander, LPC, draw on their clinical expertise, client stories, and the latest research to help you:

• Understand trauma and psychedelic therapy’s unique ability to address it
• Learn about the substances commonly used in psychedelic therapy
• Navigate the process step-by-step, including preparation, dosing, and integration
• Prioritize safety, outline key considerations, and minimize risk
• Gain insight for navigating any spiritual or psychological challenges that may arise

The authors address the limitations of today’s mental health care by explaining how a focus on symptom management brings little relief and leaves many patients still desperate for healing. They reveal how psychedelic therapy uniquely targets the root causes of suffering, particularly trauma, which is a critical yet often misunderstood driver of mental health struggles.

Whether you’re considering psychedelic therapy for yourself, supporting a loved one, or seeking professional insights as a mental health provider, this book equips you with the knowledge to find qualified practitioners, understand the process, and navigate challenging experiences with care and confidence.
