"A psychiatrist and psychedelic researcher explores the science of connection — why we need it, how we’ve lost it, and how we might find it again.We are suffering from an epidemic of disconnection that antidepressants and social media can’t fix. This state of isolation puts us in “fight or flight mode,” deranging sleep, metabolism and libido. What’s worse, we’re paranoid of others. This kill-or-be-killed framework is not a way to live. But, when we feel safe and loved, we can rest, digest, and repair. We can heal. And it is only in this state of belonging that we can open up to connection with others.In this powerful book, Holland helps us to understand the science of connection as revealed in human experiences from the spiritual to the psychedelic. The key is oxytocin — a neurotransmitter and hormone produced in our bodies that allows us to trust and bond. It fosters attachment between mothers and infants, romantic partners, friends, and even with our pets. There are many ways to reach this state of mental a

Still alive and grateful, he thanks you all.“I have not paid much attention to the praise or criticism by the public, about my work over the years, but  I am very grateful to the nation which has granted me such freedom of expression and I feel indebted  to those who have seen to the matter of securing the right for its citizens, have encouraged it and exampled  it in so many beautiful ways. Art is a game worth playing and its effects should be shared.

 Nicole’s book, The Meaning of Truth and her online course FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN are guiding hundreds of thousands around the world to lives of complete freedom. Her brand, The Cure for Chronic Pain, includes a Website, YouTube Channel, and Podcast which has over 500k downloads worldwide. Her personal experience as well as work with thousands of people around the world have shaped and evolved Nicole’s theories, which serve to teach those suffering how to heal themselves completely with no medication or surgery. Based originally off the work of Dr. John Sarno (Nicole is a direct disciple), her programs involve using a unique personal narrative called JournalSpeak to rewire neural pathways that cause chronic symptoms, and inform our misguided brains that we don’t need pain syndromes in order to distract us from our repressed trauma and emotions. Once the emotions are given a “steam valve,” the mind/body system is able to find equilibrium, moving from fight or flight to rest and repair, and symptoms dissolve
