Bimi/Trach, I never read those books. I check it out.
Gabon Mate interesting, bimi. He seem to support my experience that childhood trauma cause changes in neurological development and chemical processing that make addiction a true physical affliction of the brain. He controversial though. One of my friend just get back from Peru and did retreat using same mind opening tribal "medicines" Mate uses. It sound like powerful healing for ton of people, but with already brain damage, I be total too scared to does it. Some peoples become psychotic. One time, I try MDMA as psychiatric drug in order to just meditate and "shift perspective and release" childhood traumas, but all I feel whole time was absolute abject terror. Was one of most horrific night of my life! Is tempting though. Some come out of these retreat whole new person.
