Andrew Feldmar: A Journey Through Psychedelic Therapy with LSD and MDMA

I think that it's seductive to basically recreate a system that hasn't worked, which is, I'm the expert, I'll tell you how to do psychedelics. Right, right, but there is no blueprint for a good Andrew.
Imagine sitting down with a therapist who has decades of experience, not just in traditional therapy but also in the transformative world of psychedelics. That's what you get with Andrew Feldmar in this episode of 'Change Truth'. Feldmar, a seasoned psychotherapist, takes us on a fascinating journey through his work with LSD and MDMA in therapeutic settings. He shares stories from the 1960s when he worked alongside the renowned Scottish psychiatrist R.D.
Laing, using LSD to explore the depths of the human psyche. Fast forward to recent years, and you'll hear about his involvement with MAPS Canada, where he used MDMA to help patients suffering from severe PTSD. But it's not just about the substances. Feldmar delves into the heart of what makes therapy effective—the therapeutic relationship. He cautions against cookie-cutter approaches and emphasizes the need for personalized care.
His insights extend beyond therapy to child-rearing, advocating for a world where children are raised without shame and trauma. This episode is a goldmine for anyone interested in the intersection of psychedelics and mental health, offering both professional wisdom and heartfelt anecdotes.
