What if your trauma held the key to your transformation?
In Soul Can You, psychiatrist Dr. Lisa Gilbert offers a deeply personal—and profoundly mystical—exploration of trauma, healing, and spiritual awakening through expanded states of consciousness. Drawing from her own experiences with Holotropic Breathwork® and nonordinary states, she invites readers to answer the soul’s call to heal, awaken, and reconnect.
This is more than a memoir. It’s a map for seekers, psychonauts, artists, therapists, and trauma survivors—anyone yearning for greater self-awareness, embodied integration, and spiritual depth. Gilbert weaves decades of clinical insight with ancestral wisdom and raw lived experience, guiding readers through the terrain of childhood trauma, spiritual emergence, and the longing for wholeness.
Rather than offering symptom management, Soul Can You reaches beyond conventional psychiatry. It explores the soul’s journey from fragmentation to reconnection with the Higher Self—and reveals how true healing is not only recovery but also transcendence. Gilbert shows how nonordinary states can ignite creativity, catalyze mystical experiences, and awaken a sacred responsibility to ourselves, each other, and the planet.
Perfect for readers of Educated, The Body Keeps the Score, Soul Retrieval, and Proof of Heaven, this book resonates with anyone navigating trauma, awakening, or radical transformation.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- How expanded states of consciousness unlock healing and spiritual growth
- Why trauma may be a portal to deeper soulwork and personal evolution
- A visionary path beyond clinical psychiatry that integrates mind, body, spirit, and soul
- Access to meditative mandalas and poetic reflections to support your own integration journey
Whether you’re in the midst of a healing process or standing on the threshold of personal change, Soul Can You is an invitation—not to escape your story, but to enter it fully, and emerge transformed.
Literary Reviewer comment:
"A bold, soul-deep exploration of healing, consciousness, and inner truth.
Gilbert, a board-certified psychiatrist with decades of clinical experience, takes a psychospiritual look at the inner world of trauma, healing, and consciousness expansion in her debut book...Thoughtful, multilayered, and unflinchingly sincere, the book offers a lived blueprint for those wanting to understand the deeper patterns shaping their inner lives. Readers who loved When the Body Says No by Gabor Maté and Journey of Souls by Michael Newton will want to take a look.” – Prairies Book Review
