Summary

"Licking the Toad", someone did, and the rest is history. How some psychedelic drugs were discovered is a story in itself; but in this shorter episode we break from the norm, my guest isn't wounded - but is pioneering their treatment. Dr Iain Jordan is leading the psychedelic drug clinical trials for treating PTSD. Hear how taking the usually illegal drugs of a euphoria inducing nature react with our brains and why when taken before therapy sessions the results are a game changer for PTSD sufferers. As soldiers we are taught to fight as hard as possible - but with PTSD the harder you fight it the stronger it gets..learning to embrace it is difficult because of the way our brains deal with traumatic situations. Dropping a few tablets with your therapist present is one way to overcome this in safety. We even manage to laugh which isn't easy when discussing mental illness...and I didn't even get to sample anything beforehand! It all happens at Clerkenwell Health Clerkenwell Health | Psychedelic Clinical Trials Specialist And if you would like to be part of the PTSD or Depression trials head to their website Clerkenwellhealth.com and join a trial - link here: Join a trial (typeform.com)
