PSYCHEDELIC HEALING | DR RAN HANSEN Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

According to the published study titled, “The Use of Psychedelics in the Treatment of Medical Conditions: An Analysis of Currently Registered Psychedelics Studies in the American Drug Trial Registry”, there has been a resurgence of psychedelics research that has broadly encompassed the fields of neuroimaging, psychopharmacology, and psychology. Focused mostly on psilocybin and MDMA. Researchers are now considering the potential of these drugs being used to treat a variety of different psychiatric and neurological conditions such as addiction, pain, depression, end-of-life anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel speaks with Dr Ran Hansen, the author of Triumph Over Trauma: Psychedelic Medicines are Helping People Heal Their Trauma, Change Their Lives, and Grow Their Spirituality. This book contains all the information you need to begin your journey of discovery into whether one or more of these psychedelic medicines may help you. You’ll find several chapters covering all the basics of psychedelics, from their fascinating history to how these medicines work to how and what you need to move forward with intentionally using psychedelic medicines. Find yourself in one or more of the 23 stories that people from all spectrums of life graciously share here. These stories range from people seeking clarity about their future to wanting to heal from their pain to freeing themselves from addiction to diving deeply into the Divine. While macrodosing (full-on hallucinogenic experience) with these psychedelic medicines for healing is the major focus of the book, there is also a chapter and several stories on microdosing for healing; the advantage of microdosing is that the dose is too small to produce any perceptible effects. 100% of the book proceeds are being donated to The Heroic Hearts Project.
