Paperback, 438 Pages: Warp & Weft weaves together radical ideas, frameworks, and reference points to explore consciousness and reframe what’s often labeled “mental health.” It challenges the notion that distress, struggle, or shifts in consciousness are solely “mental,” pushing back against the biomedical separation of mind, body, and soul. Instead, it affirms that we are embodied beings shaped by social, political, and historical contexts. This book explores psychiatry’s colonial history and ongoing influence, offering a critical look at how trauma impacts the bodymindsoul. It highlights the intersection of personal and collective trauma while inviting new paths toward healing. Warp & Weft examines the cultural “scripts” we inherit for distress and calls for re-language—ways of speaking and understanding outside medicalized norms. It gestures toward root causes and holistic, liberatory approaches that support both personal and collective transformation.
