10 copies
Print
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.

Essential, empowering medical information and advice to help you prepare for your Labor and Delivery journey—from a leading OB-GYN and social media educator.

Birth is a transformative, remarkable process, but it can also be an incredibly daunting and traumatic—especially if you don't have the medically-sound information you need to advocate for yourself. With misinformation rampant on social media and a dearth of trusted medical resources on the birth process, women and pregnant people feel left behind in a system that is failing them.

In The Birth Book, OB-GYN hospitalist and educator Dr. Jennifer Lincoln delivers exactly that. Dr. Lincoln answers all your questions, big and small, about labor and delivery, providing crucial insight and understanding. Questions
What is "normal" labor? What can I say no to?What are my options if baby is breech?How long does an induction take?And many, many more.

An illuminating, hilarious, and practical guide to 99 of the most terrifying ways to die and how to avoid them from an emergency medicine doctor.

Dr. Ashely Alker is a self-described death-escapologist--or, in more familiar terms, an emergency medicine doctor.

99 Ways to And How to Avoid Them is an illuminating, darkly funny, and practical guide to 99 of the most terrifying ways to die and how to avoid them. Dr. Alker manages to scare listeners while making them laugh, preparing them for a wide range of deadly situations and conditions.

Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature Book Cover
5 copies
Print
“An antidote to the loneliness of our species.”—ROBIN WALL KIMMERER

“A master class in how to love the world.”—MARGARET RENKL

A thrilling book about the abounding queerness of the natural world that challenges our expectations of what is normal, beautiful, and possible.


Growing up, Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian felt most at home in the swamps and culverts near her house in the Hudson Valley. A child who frequently felt out of place, too much of one thing or not enough of another, she found acceptance in these settings, among other amphibious beings. In snakes, snails, and, above all, fungi, she saw her own developing identities as a queer, neurodivergent person reflected back at her—and in them, too, she found a personal path to a life of science.

In Forest Euphoria, Kaishian shows us this making of a scientist and introduces readers to the queerness of all the life around us. Fungal species, we learn, commonly encompass more than two biological sexes—and some as many as twenty-three thousand. Some intersex slugs mutually fire calcium carbonate “love darts” at each other during courtship. Glass eels are sexually undetermined until their last year of life, a mystery that scientists once dubbed “the eel question.” Nature, Kaishian shows us, is filled with the unusual, the overlooked, and the marginalized—and they have lessons for us all.

Wide-ranging, richly observant, and full of surprises, Forest Euphoria will open your eyes and change how you look at the world.
