Healers: Rachel Pearl, The ER Doctor Who Listens

The faces of the ER for patients are the emergency medicine doctors who are responsible for diagnosis, referral, and treatment of patients in an environment where time is at a premium. This week, we are joined by healer Rachel Pearl, an ER doctor for Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, California. We discuss mental preparation for the ER and how she has developed a style of listening that’s not taught in medical school. We also discuss the influence of genetic trauma and the value of medically-guided psychedelic therapy for healing psychosomatic issues.
