What’s a bad trip? When were psychedelics first used? What is the meaning behind "psychedlics" and "entheogens"? How can certain psychedelics help with emotional trauma, PTSD and couples's therapy? Why should someone have a "guide" if considering using psychedelics? Shrooms!
In today’s podcast, we discuss the history, stigmas, and legalities around psychedelics and their uses as medicine, therapy and altering states of consciousness. I have the esteemed pleasure of speaking with Funlayo E. Wood Menzies, PhD, facilitator and guide. Iya Funlayo will be breaking down how psychedelics are used to treat depression, post traumatic stress disorder and for creating new cerebral pathways to opening up the creative mind.
