Imagine a world where psychedelics aren't just for recreation but are tools for profound healing. That's the reality Myles Katz is pioneering. In this episode, Andrea sits down with Myles, the founder of Confluence Retreats, to explore the transformative power of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Since 2018, Myles has been at the forefront of legal psychedelics for personal growth, running one of the first legal retreats in Amsterdam before moving his operations to Oregon.
His retreats combine nature-based experiences with multi-modality approaches, offering a holistic path to healing deep-rooted wounds. Myles shares compelling research results, like how MDMA helped 67% of trauma patients no longer qualify for PTSD diagnosis after three months. Psilocybin has shown promise too, significantly reducing heavy drinking days by 83% in those with alcohol dependence and putting 54% of depression sufferers into remission within four weeks post-treatment. These aren't just numbers; they represent real lives transformed.
Andrea and Myles discuss the critical role of integration and facilitation in these therapies. It's not just about the psychedelic experience itself but how you process and incorporate those insights into your daily life. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the potential of psychedelics to heal trauma, addiction, and other mental health challenges. Whether you're considering a retreat yourself or supporting someone on their healing journey, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
