Dead (Spoiler Alert): A Psychotherapist's Journey with Cancer

A psychotherapist with terminal cancer approaches the end of his life with the understanding that he is being called home and that cancer is the body's response to the call to facilitate the journey. How he comes to this realization is documented as a journey starting when he discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and psychedelic medicine work in the same year, 20 years before his diagnosis. Written in the last three months of his life, this book creates its own style, jumping between journal entries, text message exchanges, and narrative accounts of critical moments and learnings in his life. By using psychedelic medicines and IFS 'parts work' to heal the distress of dying, his understanding of the psychospiritual nature of being becomes clear. He faces the end of his time here with equanimity, transitioning to becoming an ancestor.
