138 | Can Psychedelics Heal Collective Trauma? w/ Rick Doblin

After more than four decades working to bring psychedelics into legitimate scientific and therapeutic contexts, Rick Doblin is thinking about a much bigger question: What would it look like to move from healing traumatized individuals to healing traumatized families, communities, and cultures?In this episode, Lana sits down with the founder and president of MAPS to explore the next phase of psychedelic healing—from individuals to group therapy, families, communities and global humanitarian projects. Rick shares what MAPS is learning from work in Somaliland, Bosnia, Israel and beyond, including the challenge of bringing psychedelic therapy into cultures where Western psychotherapy may not be the right model.They also explore the relationship between culture and psychedelic progress, the limitations of individual healing in a traumatized world, and Rick’s long-term vision of reaching “net zero trauma” by 2070.In this episode:From individual healing to community and collective healingWhy cultural change is as important as scientific progressGroup psychedelic therapy and peer-supported modelsBringing psychedelic healing into low-resource communitiesHealing trauma in Bosnia and the BalkansCouples, families, and intergenerational traumaCulturally specific approaches to psychedelic therapyRick’s vision for “net zero trauma by 2070”Explore Coaching with Lana:Psychedelically Informed Conciousness Coaching⁠⁠⁠ (6 Month Program)Focused Transformation Coaching (6 Week Program)Iboga Integration & Prep Coaching⁠⁠⁠ (Doing the Work w/ Iboga)Stay Connected to Modern Psychedelics:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@modernpsychedelics⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠Modern Psychedelics YouTube⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠www.modernpsychedelics.net⁠⁠⁠Substack: The Healthy Ego⁠⁠Free Resources:FREE Iboga Preparation Guide⁠FREE Set Better Goals⁠FREE Integration Journal ⁠FREE Intention Setting Journal⁠FREE Psychedelic Ceremony Checklist⁠FREE Playlists for Psychedelic Journeys + Integration⁠DISCLAIMER: Modern Psychedelics does not endorse or support the illegal consumption of any substances.
