I feel like that was just very much part of that and something that was very easy to leave behind once I recognized it.
Imagine discovering a powerful tool for healing while trying to help someone else. That's exactly what happened to Amy Fillinger, a travel agent and mother of three from Arkansas. In this episode of 'Root Medicine', Amy shares her unexpected journey with ibogaine, a potent substance derived from the West African shrub iboga, which she initially thought could help her ex-husband's alcohol use disorder. Instead, she found it was the key to addressing her own struggles with codependency and post-traumatic stress.
Amy opens up about her mental, emotional, and physical state before the treatment, and how ibogaine has reshaped her understanding of her behaviors and relationships. She talks about her intentions for the treatment, including facilitating forgiveness and letting go of anger, and the insights she gained about her life and future. Amy also discusses how she uses social media to document her ongoing journey and the role of movement as an integration tool.
This episode offers a raw and relatable look at the challenges of codependency and the transformative power of psychedelic medicine. Whether you're dealing with similar issues or simply curious about alternative therapies, Amy's story provides a heartfelt perspective on healing and personal growth.
