How We Heal with Ryan Pink

Dr. Remi Drozd, an ER physician, shares his journey into working with psychedelics and ketamine specifically. He noticed that Western medicine couldn't effectively address mental health crisis, and after his own transformative experience with psychedelics, he realized their potential for healing. Ketamine is most useful for depression, anxiety, and helping people who are stuck. He explains that the treatment protocol typically involves multiple sessions, with preparation and integration being key components. The success of this type of therapy, he shares, is impacted greatly by the intention of the person sitting for the session, as it sets the stage for their experience and guides their integration process. The medicine Ketamine is a synthetic compound that has natural origins and is found to have a profound impact on the mind and body. Dr Drozd explains that it works by taking the mind offline and creating a sedative state, allowing the body to rest and relax. It has been used to treat depression, anxiety, and neuropathic pain. However, the effectiveness of ketamine therapy depends on the individual's intention and willingness to actively participate in their healing journey. They discuss the idea of spiritual bypassing, which and relies solely on the medicine without doing the necessary inner work, and how that can hinder long-term healing. Dr. Remi tells Ryan how he believes that the future of psychedelics is expanding access and integrating psychedelic therapy into education. The ideal future is where psychedelic therapy becomes normalized and part of the standard therapeutic process. The analog to ketamine therapy could be a meaningful, mindful meditation practice that focuses on being intensely present and non-judgmental. Mindful meditation can create cross-hemispheric connections and reduce dissociation, similar to the effects of EMDR therapy. Dr. Remi Drozd is a board certified ER physician with 15 years of experience and now owns and operates Lucid Therapeutics, a ketamine psychedelic therapy clinic in Santa Barbara California.Learn more about HopeGuide and Ryan Pink Join us on YouTube to watch full episodes Help us amplify the message!Please subscribe on your favorite podcast app!Please Rate and Review the podcast on Apple and Spotify!

In this conversation between Corban and Jessica Battle, she starts off telling a story from when she was seven years old and her father left her family in a difficult situation, and how that was the start of her damaging relationship with food. She shared how her eating choices caused shame as she grew up. At age 19 she was ready to loose weight, and did, but only with a severely limited diet, not addressing the issues that were causing the dysfunction. When she achieved a smaller size, she got more attention and acceptance which felt damaging as it reinforced the messaging that her size was the most important part of her worth. A year later she had gained back the weight. She dieted again, but this time realized she needed to do it differently. It was more sustainable, but she still needed to address her relationship with food itself, and the reasons she used food to cope.Finally, she committed to no longer be on a restrictive diet and felt brave enough to confront the things that were holding her back. Her personal growth was directly related to seeing herself differently, to learning and embracing her worthiness.Jessica Battle is a mindset coach and is known as the Queen of Pep-talks.

In this discussion, Michelle shares some of her story starting at the age of 16, when she was a dancer and dealing with an injury that some said would end her career. During this time she was introduced to a broader range of therapies and supports and was able to transition into dancing professionally. Still dealing with injuries though, she shares how she tried a practitioner who helped her to look at healing differently, including the importance of dealing with emotions such as anger. Eventually, she found BodyTalk therapy, an energy and consciousness healing system and quickly trained as a practitioner, learning about the head, heart, and gut "brains." This modality of healing energetically asks bodies what the priority for healing is, and once that is addressed, she explains, the energy is then freed up to heal other parts of the person seeking help.  Michelle discussed next how all things seem to come back to love, such as accessing more money, connection to self, others and spirit, and healing itself. The vibration of love is touched on, and also the idea that the unknown is the only place transformation takes place. She suggests that love and trust are what allows us into the unknown.Michelle Boule is a transformational life and business coach with a unique methodology.

In today's episode, Corban speaks with his friend Morgan Wider. Morgan is officially an executive stylist, but unofficially acts as a kind of style doula, helping women to find and express their inner strength, beauty, and personality, and finding healing along the way. We don't typically think of how we dress as being a path into healing, but our style is an expression of who we are and how we want people to view us, and exploring that can be a powerful way to find our way into our inherent worthiness and to find healing from the damning narratives so many of us carry around in our heads.  Morgan is the perfect person to tackle this subject and brings insight with precision and love.  She is the author of a book called The Worthy Wardrobe: Your Guide to Style, Shopping & Soul, where she explores these intersections and the complicated relationship women have with clothes.
