The Use of Psilocybin for End of Life Care and Why Meditation and Breathwork Work to Manage Stress with Psychologist Shanae O'Leary

from Selfdom

Today’s episode is one that I have wanted to create since January, when mum was told there was no more treatment and my family and I had to dive deep into death. I know no one likes to talk about it, but I actually want to change the narrative and become more open about this topic. Grieving is the most common human experience, everyone will have to endure it at some point so understanding end of life care a little better has empowered me and really helped with the healing journey. On the podcast I have Shanae O’Leary, a registered psychologist who has a strong passion in palliative care treatments. Shanae has done a lot of work on trauma and is currently working with a team of health professional and palliative care specialists to make psilocybin assisted therapy accessible to people given a terminal diagnosis who are experiencing existential distress towards the end of their life.
