The Quickening-- A healing journey through AA, Psilocybin, and Ayahuasca

from Back from the Abyss: Psychiatry in Stories | Psychotherapy, Psychopharmacology, and Psychedelics · host Craig Heacock MD

12 step programs have helped millions of people, but they can't address everything. Randy got clean and sober and found a supportive community in AA....yet something was missing. He couldn't find peace, he couldn't connect in intimate relationships, he felt deeply broken and spiritually empty.  It turns out that when Randy's little brother drowned when Randy was just 4 years old, his family became a numbed archipelago of grief, leaving him to grow up without the mirroring and attachments that he desperately needed. Enter ayahuasca, followed by psilocybin....Randy was finally able to reach the parts of his unconscious where his childhood trauma was blocking his attachment and safety circuitry.BFTA/ Dr. Hhttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/Support the show
