EP222 Psychedelic Medicine... Treating Trauma With Trips | Dr Alana Roy

Absolutely pumped to bring ya'll this episode on psychedelic medicine with Dr Alana Roy. She brings to the table the story of her own Ayahuasca experience, a last straw when the chips were down and it was the flip of a coin between a trip to the psych ward or a trip to Peru to visit a Shaman. Alana chose the latter and thus catapulted herself head first into healing, evolving and wrapping her professional arms around psychedelic medicine for her own practice. Alana shares not only this experience with us but her story of (all too common) childhood and adolescent trauma brought about by sexual abuse and violence. Along with her work in some pretty intense areas of social work and counseling. Mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, drinking tobacco (which is toxic to ingest, might I add) it's all covered in this episode! A brilliant conversation and I cannot wait for you guys to hear, I know it's going to be a hit and I can't wait to see psychedelic medicine progress for trauma survivors.
