À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'A timely, compassionate perspective on stabilization, healing, and rehabilitation.' ― Stephen Porges PhD, originator of Polyvagal Theory

What if the experiences psychiatry calls 'psychosis' carry intelligence?
When consciousness shifts through trauma, spiritual crisis, or states that move beyond diagnosis, many encounter fear, medication, and control. They're told their brain is broken, their perceptions cannot be trusted, and they need to be fixed.
This book offers a different lens: altered states are intelligible human responses to trauma and profound shifts in consciousness, calling for discernment and gentle care rather than suppression.
Wisdom of Psychosis weaves modern science with ancient maps of the mind to make complex experiences understandable and workable. Through clinical insight, embodied practices, and illuminating case studies, it offers orientation when inner worlds become overwhelming ― holding sensitivity with depth, discernment, and dignity.
Steady, practical guidance through three essential lenses: trauma recognition, spiritual honoring, and embodied integration ― revealing the universal human layers beneath diagnosis.
For those navigating thresholds where worlds dissolve and remake themselves, and for those who walk beside them ― this is a companion for the journey.
