Summary

"At forty-three, Carmen Joy King blows up her life in Montreal-quitting her corporate job, breaking up with her boyfriend, selling her condo, and embarking on a 4,000-kilometer solo road trip from Alberta to Mexico's Baja peninsula. Her destination: a sacred ceremony where she'll ingest Iboga, an ancient African psychedelic known as the "Mount Everest of plant medicines." In a night of violent purging, vivid hallucinations, and encounters with her younger selves, Carmen confronts the root of her lifelong love addiction-her desperate attachment to unavailable men and the belief that she is fundamentally "bad." With her dog Stevie as co-pilot, Carmen's journey takes her through remote deserts and mountain passes, where death rides shotgun and forces her to face her deepest fears. Inside the ceremonial palapa in Cabo Pulmo, as the medicine scrapes through her psyche, Carmen comes face-to-face with the wounded child within and the ghosts of relationships past. Raw, mesmerizing, and darkly humorous, "Don't Yell at Her!" chronicles how one transcendent night of psychedelic healing catalyzes Carmen's path from devastating obsession to profound self-discovery. As she reconnects with her soul's wisdom, Carmen begins the messy, liberating work of learning to trust herself again. This isn't just a story about breaking addiction-it's about reclaiming your voice, decentering men, and finding freedom in the realization: "I belong to myself.""-- Provided by publisher.
