Talking Ketamine, EMDR & Mental Health Reform with Mark Michaels

Mark Michaels doesn’t enter life quietly — he arrives through a literal test tube birth, grows up with a brain wired for rebellion, and finds his voice in the raw electricity of punk rock. In this conversation, he opens the door to the parts of his story most people never hear: the science experiment origin, the years of feeling like an outsider, the bands that shaped his worldview, and the therapy that finally helped him stitch all those jagged edges into something whole.This episode is loud, honest, and human. Mark talks about how punk gave him a language for anger and identity, how therapy gave him tools to survive the fallout, and how he’s learned to live with the strange mix of biology and chaos that made him who he is. It’s part origin story, part emotional excavation, part celebration of the misfits who find their way anyway.Mark Michaels's SitesWebsite: https://markamichaels.com/Publication: Binaries, Multitudes, and Beyond: A Client-Authored Case Study in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Artificial Intelligence, and Narrative Agency - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6317678Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mark.a.michaelsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markamichaels/Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mark-MichaelsOTR Sites:Podcast Website: https://bobadleman.wixsite.com/otrmentalhealthBlog: https://realplus.bearblog.dev/otr-lies-from-the-tablecloth/Public Square Community Ko-Fi.com/otrachieving Mail: [email protected]: https://www.facebook.com/otrachievingmentalhealhfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/over_the_rainbow_achievingX: https://twitter.com/overtherain1bowYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEYTddPDUaiZbFliit1r5QLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-adleman/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podder - https://www.podderapp.com/privacy-policyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
