When you shed the guilt and shame of these aspects of like a construct of an identity, and all you're left with is the essence of who you are as your Five Year Old self.
Curious about how psychedelics might play a role in addiction recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', host Arlina Allen chats with Joshua Tanner, a medical student at Stanford, about the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Unlike your typical therapy session, this approach uses substances like psilocybin to help people face the root causes of their addiction and mental health issues.
Joshua, who has personally undergone such a transformative experience, shares his journey and insights on this innovative treatment method. He even discusses his plans to open clinics in the Pacific Northwest to make this therapy more accessible. But it's not just about the drugs; the conversation dives into the importance of holistic mental health treatment and how current diagnostic tools like the DSM-5 might be falling short.
Joshua opens up about how psychedelics helped him let go of past guilt and shame, allowing him to reconnect with his true self. The episode also touches on brain development, trauma, and the promising research surrounding psychedelics in treating conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. If you're looking for fresh perspectives on recovery and mental health, this episode offers plenty of food for thought.
