Psychedelic Conferences: "Nothing About Us Without Us!"

None of the many psychedelic conferences in 2023 have slots for patients to speak. The disability rights movement declares, "Nothing about us without us!" but instead of valuing patients' lived experiences or practicing trauma-informed medicine, the field of psychedelic medicine is excluding us from the rooms (and zooms) where policies are debated and best practices established. In this episode, Molly gives an update on season two (coming soon!) and provides some perspective on the marginalization of patient voices. Spoiler: she argues that the field of psychedelic medicine is building structures of violence against the patients it hopes to serve. One swear word appears in this episode.Tell us what to cover in season two by visiting https://www.patreon.com/ketamineinsightsEmail us something you're proud of at [email protected] Instagram is @ketamineinsightsYou can also find us on YouTube If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please get help.
