Radical Return: Reclaiming My Body Through Coffee, Drugs, Dance, and Psychoanalysis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781578694501)

Radical Return fuses personal storytelling with professional insight to explore the transformative potential of psychedelics. A memoir-in-essays tracing Natalie's experience healing from sexual violence, ancestral trauma, medical trauma, and institutional betrayal, this fearless reflection challenges the medicalized narrative of healing. Clinical psychologist Dr. Natalie R. Cohen recounts her recovery through guided journeys with ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, and ayahuasca. But the real story unfolds after the medicine fades-through dance, ritual, tattooing, dreamwork, and psychoanalytic reckoning. Blending lived experience with clinical insight, Cohen centers a woman's body as both witness and site of transformation. Urgent, embodied, and culturally resonant, Radical Return offers a new blueprint for integration-one rooted not only in science, but in voice, movement, and a radical return to one's whole self.

Where BODY, MIND, HEART, and SPIRIT meet.
