When an ayahuasca trip goes wrong, the author is confronted with a hellish experience and forced to face her old personal nightmares in order to heal herself. Real ayahuasca horror trips are rare. Still, they occur and negative experiences with the drug are quite common, especially for first-time users. This book contains insights from one such horror trip and recommendations for those considering their own ayahuasca journey. 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.
