Seize the Moment Podcast STM Podcast #71: Derek Beres - Hero's Dose: The Case for Psychedelics in Ritual and Therapy
On episode 71, we welcome journalist Derek Beres to talk about the structure and efficacy of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, the benefits and costs of being on psychotropic medication in the long-term, the importance of one’s mindset and setting to a positive psychedelic experience, how psychedelics helped us become less critical and develop healthier frameworks of seeing others, how individualistic and collectivist cultures differed in their responses to COVID-19, charlatanry in the wellness industry, and the impact of the medicalization of mental illness.
