My Beautiful Psychosis: Making Sense of Madness
My Beautiful Psychosis: Making Sense of Madness is a stunning debut memoir from international award winning documentary filmmaker, Emma Goude. Published by Aeon Books, it is a gritty tale of transformation depicting, from the inside, some of the most powerful experiences a human mind can endure. It turns on its head the idea that psychosis is a debilitating illness, caused by a brain chemical imbalance, which requires medication for life. It is an intense, honest and lucid memoir, an exposing and vulnerable adventure through a psyche that is spilling out undigested psychological material to reveal secrets that have been forgotten.
My Beautiful Psychosis: Making Sense of Madness questions conventional methods of treating psychosis and points towards a radical vision where diagnosis of mental illness makes allowances for spiritual growth and transformation rather than simply treating a perceived brain chemical imbalance.
With a Foreword by Dr. Russell Razzaque, Consultant Psychiatrist, author of Breaking Down Is Waking Up and founder of Peer Supported Open Dialogue.
Tango, Camino, Romeo
I am currently writing Tango, Camino Romeo, another memoir, which is a pilgrimage to find love through the art of dancing tango.
Tango, Camino, Romeo takes the reader on the 500 mile pilgrimage along the Camino to Santiago de Compostela, through remote Mayan villages in the volcanic mountains of Guatemala and eventually to Buenos Aires, the tango capital of the world. There we meet Romeo, a handsome Argentinian tango dancer but before I can say yes, I have to learn to say no.
I am currently looking for an agent so join me on my socials to stay updated.
