It is so hard for us to understand the concept of limitless possibilities.

La Locura Lo Cura – Guillermo “Memo” Borja
[Descarga Previsualización en Español]
This one is in Spanish, I will work on finding a proper transcript to translate to English, as it is a beautiful essay about what being a therapist is about and all the kinds of healing methods that Guillermo Borja examines from his personal and professional experience. From the back cover (translated):
“An unconventional psychotherapist is arrested for organizing indigenous-inspired ceremonies with hallucinogenic plants in the Mexican desert. Imprisoned for four years, Guillermo Borja manages to transform his grim fate into a path of self-discovery when the prison’s deputy director invites him to take charge of the psychiatric ward, where 72 mentally ill patients progressively recover their health thanks to his unique approach to therapy and life.
This is how La locura lo cura (Madness Heals) was born—a remarkable humanistic therapeutic manifesto in which Borja shares the pearls of wisdom that helped him shape his unforgettable experience of collective transformation. Its pages blend Gestalt techniques with the teachings of his mentors—unconventional psychiatrists, indigenous healers, and Huichol shamans—resulting in a profound treatise on health and happiness that encourages us to embark fearlessly on our journey to consciousness.”
