Wendi Rees on Psychedelic PTSD Therapy, Faith-Based Healing, and Trump’s Ibogaine Push

Marc Cox interviews author and speaker Wendi Rees following President Trump’s announcement supporting accelerated access to psychedelic-assisted therapies for veterans and patients suffering from severe PTSD and depression. Rees, co-author of The Christian’s Guide to Psychedelics, shares her deeply personal story of childhood abuse, suicidal thoughts, and eventual healing through medically supervised psychedelic treatments including ibogaine, psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine. Raised in a strict Christian household, Rees explains how she initially rejected the therapies as sinful before ultimately viewing them as tools created by God to help repair trauma-damaged brains. The discussion centers on balancing faith, medical safety, and discernment while stressing that these treatments are not recreational drugs but structured therapies requiring professional oversight. Rees also praises Trump’s executive action as a major first step toward making psychedelic-assisted treatment more accessible inside the United States instead of forcing veterans and trauma victims to travel overseas for care.
