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. 

Genre:

  • “Michael Ryoshin Sapiro brings a profound depth of insight and compassion to the field of psychedelic psychotherapy in Truth Medicine. As a Buddhist monk and clinical psychologist, he bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, offering readers a transformative guide to healing and authenticity. This book is not just about the promise of psychedelics; it’s about reclaiming the truth of who we are and living in alignment with that truth. Grounded in research, illuminated by real-world case studies, and written with the clarity of a master teacher, Truth Medicine is an essential resource for anyone seeking to break free from the cycles of trauma and limitation that bind us. Dr. Sapiro’s work is a gift to those committed to deep healing, growth, and the awakening of our fullest potential.”
