The book is also for the partners, family members and professionals, such as psychotherapists, who might have to pick up the pieces afterwards. The book shows the dark side of ayahuasca and an intense journey to healing and recovery that it set in motion, and includes tips on healing methods such as Gestalt and art therapy and ritual.
