In this episode of Old Man Grappling Hour, Kevin Gallagher talks with Scott, a former Marine, about psychedelic therapy as a tool for healing, addiction recovery, and personal growth.
They discuss how guided psychedelic experiences, when approached safely and intentionally, can help people better understand their thoughts, emotions, and destructive patterns. Kevin also shares how psychedelics helped him personally, and they explore the growing body of research supporting therapeutic use.
Topics include:
- Psychedelic therapy vs. recreational use
- Healing trauma and addiction through guided experiences
- Veteran mental health and stigma
- Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind
- Jim Fadiman’s The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide
- The role of MAPS in research and education
