My Very Own Psychedelic Psychotherapy

by DJ Kadagian

What would compel someone to journey into the heart of the Amazon Jungle to ingest the most potent psychedelics on the planet? Or venture into the most inhospitable desert in the United States to sit on a rock in solitude for 40 days and 40 nights? Why would someone with a deep-seated mistrust of organized religion feel compelled to go to divinity school? Or spend a decade engaged in mortal combat with an army of overmatched therapists?Desperation - plain and simple. DJ Kadagian's childhood was a whirlwind of chaos, orchestrated by an unhinged mother who could best be described as a 'free spirit' - free from empathy, free from concern, and free from any semblance of conventional parenting. Her child-rearing philosophy could be summed up in one "Every man for himself.”He knew from day one he was fighting an uphill battle to sanity, and considering the vast web of psychological maladies he collected in his youth, reasoned it would take a high-octane form of psycho-spiritual shock therapy to bring him back to the land of the living. He left no stone unturned. But it was within the mystical, magical, and often terrifying realm of psychedelics that he finally discovered an oasis of hope–a path to genuine transformation.As you embark on his extraordinary journey of self-discovery, you'll come to understand why this unorthodox self-help strategy is most suited for someone like him. And, not surprisingly, for a growing number of other desperate souls around the world today.A funny, heart-wrenching, and moving account of an extraordinary life forged in the relentless pursuit of sanity. Experience My Very Own Psychedelic Psychotherapy–the captivating memoir that inspired the upcoming film Storming Heaven. Coming out on audiobook in time for the holidays!
