Local artist and longtime friend Madeline Pointer joins me for an enlightened discussion about the state of the world, the future of humanity and why it is so easy to fall in love a good salad. I explain my findings regarding Elon Musk's plan for global domination, Madeline talks about the wild foraged ingredients you can find in local PNW cuisine. We bond over our common dopamine regulation deficiencies (ADHD). And we recount some of our finest memories from Ilwaco High School. Topics include: Is Elon Musk the antichrist? What is the Mandela Effect and is it proof that we live in a simulation? The surprising history of drugs like MDMA and Psilocybin. Technologies that will define our future. I really enjoyed making this episode. Madeline was a fantastic guest and I couldn't be more grateful for her candor, her humor, and most of all, her patience (it took me a long time to finish it).

What I discuss with Jesse Gould Jesse Gould joins me in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast to discuss his mission to help military veterans struggling with mental trauma and spread awareness of the benefits of psychedelic therapies as an alternative treatment to pharmaceuticals.  For centuries, indigenous healers and Native Americans have used psychedelic plants for therapy and medical treatment. Ayahuasca, for instance, has been used over 5000 years to facilitate personal and collective healing. During ceremonies, healers would often help provide recovery and reconcile the trauma people had experienced. Over the past century, psychedelics were labeled as illicit drugs and prohibited. Jesse's goal is to change that and legalize their use for mental health ailments. 0:00 Teaser and announcements 2:37 Introduction of Jesse Gould 4:28 Participating in the 4x4x48 to support veteran non-profits 7:50 Why he founded the Heroic Hearts Project. 12:17 The benefits of treatments from psilocybin, ayahuasca, and MDMA 17:44 The path to legalizing psychedelic drugs for clinical use 22:43 MDMA intervention is having almost a 66 to 67% success rate 25:36 Why is Big Pharma doing everything it can to block its adoption? 28:36 The protocol in terms of the dosage of MDMA  30:55 How psilocybin is administered 32:22 How is Ketamine used for PTSD 41:58 The nature of side effects and how often they occur 47:40 Why your traumas is what develops you and makes you who you are 51:24 How to obtain services from Heroic Hearts 54:33 Episode wrap-up Where you can find Jesse Gould * Website: https://www.heroicheartsproject.org/ * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesse-gould/ * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weheroichearts/ * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heroicheartsproject/ -- Welcome to Passion Struck podcast, a show where you get to join me in exploring the mindset and philosophy of the world's most inspiring everyday heroes to learn their lessons to living intentionally.

LA FILOSOFÍA Y LAS DROGAS UN POCO DE HISTORIA Originalmente el uso de las drogas no era recreativo, sino religioso y místico. Casi todas las religiones iniciáticas (dionisíacos, eléuticos, órficos, druidas) tenían como parte de sus rituales el consumo de algún tipo de sustancia, pero solamente para ponerse en contacto con lo divino. El judaísmo ritualizó el consumo del vino, y el catolicismo lo convirtió en sacramento. El problema surge cuando los usos se hacen profanos y empieza a primar la instrumentalización de las drogas con otros fines: 1) Inglaterra creó la guerra del opio para controlar el poder de China y acceder a mercancías de lujo que no podían comprar. 2) Los americanos volvieron alcohólicos a los amerindios para controlarlos (el peyote y otras drogas jamás antes fueron problemáticas por su uso sagrado). 3) El siglo XX con el desarrollo de la química vio nacer muchas drogas que se utilizaron comercialmente y de modo exclusivamente profano: heroína, MDMA (3, 4-metilendioxi-N-metanfetamina) O ÉXTASIS, KETAMINA, LSD. La única razón de por qué las drogas se han cuestionado no es porque su uso recreativo trae aparejado el desarrollo de patologías sociales e individuales, sino porque no permiten un control mediante la represión de las sociedades, por eso siempre son los sectores más reaccionarios los que son antidrogas. La gran pregunta es, si consumo ¿a quién hago daño? John Stewart Mill: si una persona se droga en su departamento sin operar maquinaria ni afectar a nadie, entonces está bien. CANNABIDIOL – YA ES UNA DROGA DE USO MÉDICO RECONOCIDA. LSD Y PSILOCIBINA – ENORMES POTENCIALES FARMACÉUTICOS Sin embargo, nunca está de más analizar por qué la gente consume drogas, qué drogas consume y qué cantidad consume. Que algo sea legal no significa que no sea dañino o adictivo. El problema es cuando el prohibicionismo o el incentivo se pone al servicio de una ideología como el consumo de alcohol en la URSS, de anfetaminas en el nazismo o la Ley Seca en USA. Si se pierde de vista el daño que puede o no producir, entonces se está decidiendo por todas las razones equivocadas. O SEA. PRIMERO DIFERENCIEMOS CONSUMO DE ADICCIÓN. EL CONSUMO NO TIENE QUE SER PROBLEMÁTICO (PENSAR EN EL ALCOHOL Y LAS DIFERENTES MANERAS DE CONSUMIRLO SIN EBRIEDAD NI INGESTA PERMANENTE) 1) SI YO CONSUMO EN MI PRIVACIDAD Y NO HAGO NADA MALO A NADIE NO ES MORAL QUE ME LO PROHIBAN (AUNQUE SEA LEGAL, LA ESCLAVITUD FUE LEGAL, RECORDEMOS) 2) SI MI CONSUMO DAÑA A MI FAMILIA Y POR EXTENSIÓN A MÍ, ENTONCES ES RAZONABLE CONSIDERAR ALGUNA MANERA MÁS O MENOS INTERVENTORA DE INGERENCIA SIN LLEGAR A CASOS EXTREMOS COMO LA INTERNACIÓN. 3) SI MI CONSUMO ME LLEVA A QUEBRANTAR LA LEY, LA SOCIEDAD TIENE LA OBLIGACIÓN DE CONSIDERAR ESTO, NO COMO ATENUANTE DEL DELITO, SINO COMO RESPONSABILIDAD PROPIA A LA HORA DE DECIDIR COMO PROCEDER LUEGO DE LA PENA JUDICIAL.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Trauma is an event that rises to the magnitude of overwhelming our coping skills and changing our brainTrauma is an example of our wiring not serving us well – the guilt and shame associated with trauma cause us to avoid the event (opposite of what we need to do)The brain tries to make sense of the trauma by recreating the situation and trying to “make it right” this time to relieve the suffering (a process called repetition compulsion)Memories don't have inherent meaning – it's the emotion attached to them that changes our view of events“When logic and emotion come head to head, emotion wins all the time. It's powerful enough it will always win.” – Dr. Paul ContiBy bringing trauma to the surface by attaching words, we remove its powerThe core tenant of a good therapist is your rapport – an effective therapist will change their modality based on your needs without being dogmaticTake ownership of your therapy and journey! If your needs aren't being met, find someone elseOur healthcare system is focused on short-term soothing (e.g., prescription drugs) at the expense of long-term benefit – physicians are quick to throw medication at a problem instead of exploring the rootRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest this episode is Dr. Paul Conti, M.D., a psychiatrist and expert in treating trauma, personality disorders and psychiatric illnesses and challenges of various kinds.

Drug users and advocates say the exemption doesn't go far enough to curb an overdose epidemic in the country. Others have been critical of the plan, including Alberta Premier Jason Kenney who said in a statement on Tuesday that his government would be "monitoring the situation very closely." Our question this week: Should small amounts of drugs such as opioids or cocaine be decriminalized? How does the overdose problem in Canada affect you? Adrienne Rosen, whose daughter died of a drug overdose in 2018, on why she welcomes decriminalization of hard drugs; Gillian Kolla, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria, discusses what more needs to be done; Fiona Wilson, deputy chief of the Vancouver Police Department, on how police are preparing for the policy shift; and Carolyn Bennett, minister of mental health and addictions, discusses the government's decision to decriminalize hard drugs in B.C.

In this episode David Harder joins the podcast to discuss the status of psychedelic assisted therapy in Canada. David is one of the co-founder's of ATMA - Canada's first legal psychedelic journey center. He also co-founded and led Catalyst Presents, a Psychedelic Research Conference, and SYNTAC Institute, a Canadian non-profit dedicated to bringing psychedelic-assisted therapy to Canadians which was successful in achieving one of Canada's first modern legal exemptions to undertake psychedelic-assisted work.

Oil-producing countries vow to boost output by 50% in July and August to curb rising prices following the European Union's announcement of a major cut in Russian crude imports. We ask Kaushik Deb, a Senior Research Scholar at the Centre on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, how effective this initiative can be. Leaving a tip can be a contentious issue. In India, the government is meeting with leaders from the restaurant industry to discuss whether or not an additional service charge should be automatically added at the end of a meal. We hear the thoughts of a foodie in Mumbai. A pilot programme in British Columbia, Canada, will decriminalize the possession of small amounts of illicit drugs including cocaine, MDMA and many opioids. The aim is to reduce the record number of overdose deaths, and to stop addicts being marginalised. We hear more from Sheila Malcolmson, British Columbia's Minister of Mental Health. Many banks are closing branches and expecting customers to do the bulk of their key transactions via the Internet. But does that risk leaving more vulnerable citizens behind in many countries? The BBC's Claire Williamson investigates.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Lawrence Loh, who is the outgoing medical officer of health for the Region of Peel and the executive director and CEO of the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Dr. Loh reflects on his time leading one of Canada's most populous regions through the pandemic and some of the more bold decisions he made earlier on in the pandemic like issuing a directive for businesses with five or more cases of COVID-19 to shut down, the temporary shutdown of an Amazon warehouse in Peel region that employed as many as 5,000 workers and was facing an outbreak and he tells us about the time he issued a Section 22 under the Health Protection and Promotion Act in order to close down schools in Peel Region to protect kids and families from COVID-19 spread. ---- BC DECRIMINALIZES SMALL POSSESSION OF CERTAIN ILLEGAL DRUGS Libby Znaimer is joined, first, by Chief Mike Serr, co-chair of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Drug Advisory Committee followed by Joseph Neuberger, Criminal Defence Lawyer with Neuberger and Partners LLP and Mark Townsend, who formerly managed Insite-North America's first legal supervised consumption site which opened in 2003 and is located in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

Media Roots Radio on Psychedelics: Episode 2: How Raves Brought Back the Psychedelic Subculture, DanceSafe, Pill Tests & the DEA vs MDMA Robbie and Abby Martin discuss the resurgence of psychedelics in the 80s through underground raves. Unregulated warehouse parties featured the revival of psychedelics like LSD and the arrival of MDMA and ecstasy during the era of Regan's 'War on Drugs.' Out of this subculture came DanceSafe, which administered the safe testing of ecstasy pills, and a new government fear campaign. Featuring exclusive insight from DanceSafe founder Emanuel Sferios about the suspicious flooding of the ecstasy market with DXM to help paint MDMA as a dangerous drug that melts brains.

How do we integrate the intense experiences of psychedelic therapy for long term benefits? Can we apply those learnings to existential exploration in general? In this episode we have the fascinating topic of ‘psychedelic integration' to get our head around. Integration is a crucial part of any psychotherapy process, but perhaps even more so when those suffering experience psychedelic compounds in their treatment program. Many subjects of the new psychedelic treatments for depression and ADHD, have life changing experiences that often go against everything they have come to believe about themselves and the world. So regardless of how positive that can be to the meaning of their lives, it's clear that some pretty sensitive guidance and processing needs to take place for the therapy to shift their day to day life long-term. And interestingly the same tools we'll discuss can be used for all of us to navigate our own existential exploration. So who better to help us explain this and offer some tools for navigating these tricky experiences than clinical psychologist and author Dr. Kile Ortigo. Kile is the founder of the Center for Existential Exploration in Palo Alto California; he's hugely influenced by psychologist Carl Jung and Jospeh Campbell and specialises in treating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction, with a particular sensitivity to gender identity issues. He's just written a book about the topic Beyond the Narrow Life: A Guide for Psychedelic Integration and Existential Exploration What we discuss in this episode: 00:00 Intro 06:00 Integration in therapy 09:44 Integration of psychedelic experiences 12:13 Preparation for the unknown - Kile's new book ‘Psychedelic integration' 17:00 Re-finding initiation; analogy with preparation 21:00 The risks of self-initiation 23:25 Is meaning built into existence? 28:00 Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey 31:30 The symbolism of the battles in the myths 34:00 The shadow - ‘a moral problem' Jung 35:00 Monomyth is a misnoma 38:00 The Heroine's journey - Maureen Murdoch 41:30 MDMA therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 43:45 Preparation - medicine journey - integration; 3 Arcs 46:00 The risk of re-trauma if the patient is not prepared 49:45 The rewards from existential exploration and integration 54:00 The exciting mystery of the unknown - making friends with the unknown References: Kile's new Book Beyond the Narrow Life: A Guide for Psychedelic Integration and Existential Exploration, 'The Shadow' according to Jung Collective Unconscious episode #6 Individuation according to C.G.Jung Jospeh Campbell's Hero's Journey episode

In this week's episode, Rachel is joined by Ida Hallidri. Ida had a career in marketing, and business before taking the brave step of diving feet first into her real love of psychology. Ida is native to Albania but moved to Canada after her parents wanted a better life for her and her siblings.She shares how after experiencing some deep trauma and loss at a very young age she began the search for healing. Later her journey brought her to the healing modality of Internal Family Systems Therapy.Ida goes into detail about the process and components of IFS. She does such a great job of giving us a clear picture of what is happening within the self that leads to addictive behaviors and how IFS breaks down what is happening internally to begin to heal these aspects that have been “exiled.”As Ida and Rachel dig deeper into the process of IFS, Ida takes us through what a session might look like as it follows the blueprint and model this modality uses. They also touch on the connection between IFS and MDMA.You can connect with Ida through the following links:IG: @prettythoughts.caRachel would love to hear what you enjoyed most about this conversation.

Times have been tough. Pandemic burnout, war, a mounting climate crisis and soaring prices on everything from gas to groceries. Few people have gotten through the last few years without grieving some kind of loss. The good news? We're definitely not alone. This week we're unpacking mental health with podcasts that uplift, investigate and validate. There's the grief that comes from losing someone you love, but have you ever experienced climate grief? It's the feeling of hopelessness as the climate crisis gets worse and worse. But for one Canadian musician, out of those feelings of fear, sadness and angst came artistic inspiration. We'll hear the conversation with folk band The Weather Station in a clip from Reseed. Plus, treatment for mental health has had a huge evolution in the last century. The evolution continues as the Toronto facility “Remedy” researches the use of MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Find out why the early results have researchers and patients so excited.

Today, Debbie talks with Dr. Bree Johnston, a geriatrician and a palliative care physician who is also certified in psychedelic therapies.In case you haven't noticed, the topic of psychedelic therapy has gone mainstream in the past several years. Taking a guided psilocybin trip is now viewed as a highly effective way to ease fear of dying. But it's complicated. It took Debbie several months to find just the right person to interview about the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics. Her research led her to Dr. Bree Johnston who is perfectly credentialed for this topic as well as being a notably clear and wise teacher for [B]OLDER podcast listeners. She's been a practicing physician for 35 years and recently became certified in Psychedelic Therapies and Research through the California Institute of Integral Studies.They talk about:- The problem of legality (she predicts psilocybin therapy will be legal in a few years)- Why psychedelic therapy is especially useful for older, dying patients- Her own psychonaut experiences- The dissolution of "self" and becoming part of a whole (a common experience on a psychedelic trip)- The current studies being done at Johns Hopkins and NYU- Microdosing- And her evaluation of which psychedelic therapies are currently most useful: psilocybin, MDMA (aka ecstasy), ketamine (not illegal but results can vary widely).They also explore the complexity that comes with medicalizing psychedelics as well as the ethics surrounding legalization.  This is a highly informative conversation with a knowledgeable physician. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Dr. Bree Johnston on LinkedInThe Trip Treatment by Michael Pollan (The New Yorker; February 5, 2015)How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan (Penguin Press; 2018)The Pied Piper of Psychedelic Toads by Kimon de Greef (The New Yorker; March 21, 2022)Berkeley Center for the Science of PsychedelicsPsychedelic Therapy Training Certificate | California Institute of Integral StudiesThe Microdose NewsletterNew York Magazine Investigative Podcast: Cover Story: Power TripJohns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness ResearchCenter for Psychedelic Medicine | NYUA Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood, My Marriage, and My Life by Ayelet Waldman (Knopf; 2017)Brian Anderson - Studies at UCSFSacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences by William Richards (Columbia University Press; 2015)Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies - MAPSMAPS NewsletterHandbook of Medical Hallucinogens by Charles Grob and Jim Grigsby (The Guilford Press; 2021)Note from DebbieIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts.

In part one of this deep dive, Psymposia and Thought Slime analyze Jordan Peterson's fascination with psychedelics as an example of the reactionary, right-wing ideologies that have been developing within psychedelia in recent decades. Reacting to a 2021 podcast of Peterson's, we discuss the significance of Peterson's popularity among some prominent psychedelic researchers. As figures like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro continue to advocate for harmful "conversion therapies" for minority sexual orientations and gender identities, we discuss the dangers of reactionary interest in psychedelic-assisted therapies, given that psychedelics are already associated with increased suggestibility and shifts in identity. Considering the fact that many scientists and CEOs in the psychedelic renaissance are lobbying right-wing donors and politicians, we highlight the risks inherent to reactionary forces developing frameworks for accessing psychedelics.        Watch: https://youtu.be/ICLMiwdDUuE       Read: The Trials of Rick Doblin He revolutionized the way we view MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.

I tried MDMA for the first time and it changed my life! This episode isn't about marketing BUT if you are a CEO or business owner and are interested in personal development, you will get a lot out of this episode.    MDMA truly transformed how I view myself, my work, my team, and the world. It was like having 20 years of therapy in 4 hours -- but also somehow more profound!    Check out this episode to hear the whole story, process, and my continued processing of the event! 

Saj Razvi returns to BFTA to share and discuss a mind-blowing audio recording of a ketamine-facilitated somatic therapy session. This session was from a recent training workshop with experienced trauma therapists, and Saj uses a somatic exercise-- staring into the client/participant's eyes- as a way to elicit a rapid and powerful transference reaction, with the psycholytic catalysts of ketamine and oxytocin already on board.  We hear Saj handle the mounting fear and dread of the emerging traumatic transference, then work through this with the therapist in training to find nervous system resolution and safety on the other side.  In the latter part of the episode Saj and Craig explore the challenges of recognizing and working with transference.Saj Razvi and the Psychedelic Somatic Institutehttps://www.psychedelicsomatic.orgPlease take the BFTA listeners poll--we really want your input!https://bit.ly/3eQ8DdyBFTA on Instagram. @backfromtheabysspodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/backfromtheabysspodcast/BFTA/ Dr. Hhttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/

If you've been paying attention to the mental health and wellness space, you know that psychedelics have burst onto the scene in a big way. Major universities like Johns Hopkins, Yale, and Berkeley are studying their effects on PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.  Many guides and shamans in this space describe the use of psilocybin, MDMA, and other substances together with integrative therapy sessions to be equivalent to years and years of traditional therapy.  And now, these plant medicine journeys are making their mark on luxury wellness travel.  My guests today are Robert Grover and Gary Logan who provide private luxury retreats and create profound experiences for clients.  We discuss their experience with these medicines, their guiding philosophies, and how they orchestrate a comfortable luxury setting. For more accessible information on the science of psychedelics I can also highly recommend the Michael Pollan interview on The Tim Ferris Show.  Last but not least, though the substances discussed on this episode are showing great promise in the clinical studies, they are not legal in the United States and many other countries.

In this episode I chat with Valentin (Awake and Sexy on Instagram). Valentin is an Internal Family Systems-trained Intimacy Coach & Guide living in Brooklyn, NY. He helps mindful humans to love their Inner Parts and their Partner(s) better by moving toward more self-acceptance within and more intentionality with others. In this conversation we talk about Valentin's own struggles with anxiety and intimacy and how they led him to delve into several mindfulness techniques and eventually leave his corporate job to start Awake and Sexy. We talk about Neo-tantra, MDMA therapy, and briefly touch on Internal Family Systems. Valentin also shares his own non-monogamous journey and gives us great advice on how to communicate desires. Lastly, we have an interesting discussion around ‘don't ask don't tell' dynamics and more generally around how much to share with one's partners about secondary relationships.
