Healing Psychedelics: Innovative Therapies for Trauma and Transformation

Psychedelics are showing great promise as a new way to heal trauma and improve emotional wellness. Studies have shown that they can be effective in reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depression, even in cases that are resistant to other treatments. With Healing Psychedelics, Stover offers a comprehensive and informative guide for both professionals and patients who are interested in learning more about psychedelic-assisted therapy. In a time when mystery, unrealistic expectations, and exorbitant prices make this therapy hard to access or understand, Healing Psychedelics aims to reduce the risk for harm and bring consciousness to the conversation. It covers everything you need to know, from preparation to integration, with an emphasis on safety and effectiveness.

Each chapter reveals a vignette taken directly from the psychedelic space that shows the medicine and process used for transformation during the sessions. These vignettes share what medicinal tools were applied and why, and include experiences working with medium and macro-doses of MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis. They also weave in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners. The chapters close with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the reader's healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all readers, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist.

Healing Psychedelics shows the complete process, enabling the reader to safely unlock the power of psychedelics to heal trauma and transform their life for a brighter future.
