Psilocybin, Grief and End-of-Life w -Dr. Kumar

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Sameet Kumar, a clinical psychologist and researcher, for a wide ranging conversation on how we relate to death, grief and love- both individually and collectively.We explore Dr. Kumar's work on a clinical study using psilocybin with late-stage cancer patients, and what this research reveals about fear, meaning, and psychological suffering at the end of life. We also discuss, grieving mindfully, the difference between individual and collective grief, how modern society sequesters death away from our lives and the cost of that separation.This discussion is not about quick fixes or spiritual platitudes but an honest examination of how human beings, connect, suffer and grow from loss.
