S4 Episode 15: Hitler, Your Brain, & LSD with Norman Ohler, NYT Best Selling Author

Norman Ohler is an award-winning German novelist, screenwriter, journalist, and New York Times bestselling author. Norman is best known for his book Blitzed, which has been published in over 30 languages, and explores the widespread use of drugs in Nazi Germany, what role methamphetamines played in the military history of World War II, and for uncovering that the German military and political leadership - including and especially Adolf Hitler - used psychoactive drugs during the war. Norman has also written about how Nazi experiments into psychedelics covertly influenced CIA research and birthed the CIA's notorious brainwashing and psychological torture program during the 1950s and 1960s known as MK-Ultra. Although criticized, judged, and scoffed at by many, Norman has been undeterred in his research and approach to provide a historically proven side of the truth that outside of his research; may have never been told.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me.
