Truth Medicine

Healing and Living Authentically Through Psychedelic Psychotherapy

De: Michael Ryoshin Sapiro PsyD

Narrado por: Michael Ryoshin Sapiro PsyD

An accessible guide to psychedelic psychotherapy and its transformative healing abilities, by a clinical psychologist and psychedelics expert.

Are you living the life you’re meant to be living, or fulfilling somebody else’s ideas of who you should be? Would you like to learn what’s true for you underneath the programming while healing old wounds that keep you living in cycles of trauma, depression, and anxiety? Truth Medicine explains why we often feel stuck and are unable to move forward into a life of thriving, and how psychedelic psychotherapy addresses these essential questions for our well-being.

Grounded in research and experience, Truth Medicine answers frequently asked questions about psychedelic psychotherapy—what it is and how it works, and what medicines are used (primarily ketamine, with an overview of other medicines on the horizon, such as MDMA and psilocybin), contraindications, and more. Walking listeners through the whole process from preparation through medicine sessions and into integration, Dr. Sapiro also shares case studies that are inspiring, engaging, and raw, for a go-to guide for anyone looking to heal. While Truth Medicine describes in detail how psychedelic psychotherapy works to bring about healing and growth, it ultimately points you back inside yourself, where your own wisdom and truth are waiting to be discovered and lived.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Life-Changing, Groundbreaking, and Deep

Dr. Michael Sapiro’s Truth Medicine is more than just a book—it’s a paradigm-shifting guide that helped clarify and deepen the very transformation I lived through during my own journey with psychedelic-assisted therapy. As the subject in the New York Times documentary An Act of Service, I underwent ketamine-assisted psychotherapy at a time when I was desperate for healing and reconnection. Dr. Sapiro’s work gave language, structure, and clarity to what I experienced in that process—and what I’ve continued to integrate ever since.

This book isn’t theory—it’s lived wisdom. Dr. Mike’s tribal knowledge and grounded expertise offer the next evolution from works like Michael Pollan’s. It’s the essential “what’s next” for anyone curious about psychedelic therapy, ready to explore their own healing, or actively walking the path of trauma recovery, purpose, and integration.

Since my experience, I’ve reached a level of joy and fulfillment I once thought unimaginable. And Truth Medicine speaks directly to that possibility—not by offering quick fixes, but by pointing the reader inward, back to their own truth.

Whether you’re just starting to ask the big questions—Am I living the life I’m meant to live?—or already deep in the healing process, this book is a trustworthy guide. The Audible version, especially in Dr. Mike’s voice, adds a whole new layer of connection.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It’s equal parts education, invitation, and revelation.
