Description
Dismantled: How Love and Psychedelics Broke a Clergyman Apart and Put Him Back Together by Bruce Sanguin is a deeply personal exploration of trauma, healing, and the power of conscious integration. After the end of his marriage and career as a clergyman, the author turned to psychedelics, sacred ceremony, and psychotherapy to rebuild his life. Through this journey, he uncovers the profound impact of childhood trauma on his personality and identity, revealing how it forced him to develop a false self in order to survive. As he delves deeper into his experiences, Sanguin challenges conventional wisdom around family, forgiveness, and dogmatic Christianity, instead embracing the authentic suffering and acceptance of reality that he finds in the gospels. This book offers a hopeful model of healing that honours the complexity of the human experience, one that is grounded in the growing body of research on psychedelics as medicine. By sharing his story, Sanguin sheds light on the potential for these substances to hold key to our collective evolution and healing.
