From professional athletes to retired military veterans, the core population experiencing profound healing due to innovations in psychedelic therapy is more diverse, intergenerational and multicultural than popular culture might have you believe.
In this dialogue, an NHL Stanley Cup winner who sustained repeated traumatic brain injuries will discuss what type of healing he has experienced, and how he went from the depths of depression – and suicidal contemplations – to discovering his true life’s purpose through the use of psilocybin and other psychedelic therapies. You will hear from one the world’s leading psychopharmacologists about how this type of profound healing and relief is scientifically possible inside the neural pathways of the brain. And finally, a recognized leader in the field of traumatic stress studies, PTSD, and intergenerational trauma will illuminate why time-honored institutions such as the US Department of Veterans Affairs are embracing the scientific-backed benefits of medically-assisted psychedelic treatments, and how this will stand to transform mainstream medicine and policy.
This session will be moderated by Emmy-Award winning producer and journalist Jordan Kronick. Join us for scientific rigor that will benefit even the most-seasoned psychonauts, and a gentle open door for folks who are new, curious and potentially even weary of the field of psychedelics.
