Eastern cultures and religions have utilized psychedelics for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. On today’s episode, Amber talks with Dorna Pourang about why the use of psychedelics is gaining so much attention and popularity. However, there is still a lot of stigma surrounding this topic due to a lack of education.
The use of psychedelics requires a lot of pre-work and preparation that goes into these therapies. In addition, Dorna discusses the studies and research currently underway to provide a safe and legal experience for patients. She also explains the major difference between assisted professional administration of these medications and recreational use. There are several states in the process of decriminalizing the use of psychedelics and making it accessible for mental health stability and quality.
Lastly, Amber and Dorna dive into how psychedelics teach you to process and regulate feelings of sadness and negativity and learn how to work with it. The society we live in today has programmed us to automatically make it seem like we are always “ok”.
