PART 1 of my 3 part PSYCHOSIS SERIES. Jordan was a successful young dude in Manhattan taking risks and living the dream and somehow straddling the aspiring artist crowd and the aspiring Patrick Batemans. He shares openly about his traumatizing psychotic breaks, so severe that they mimic the psychedelic ego death sought after by aspiring Patrick Batemans in rustic luxury resorts in Latin America. He eventually left all his invaluable possessions in New York for Miami and the rest is...history covered in this podcast...

This is a great episode!!! *yes...sorry, I posted this yesterday, but I couldn't move beyond the tiny glitch at the beginning. I replaced it with a reel, and everyone can deal. and cheel.

Special Guest Dr. Scott Fisher, a South Florida psychiatrist specializing in psychedelic research and the support, psychotherapy, and integration elements of psychedelic healing experiences.

I describe my ego death experiences. hehe. One during a suicidal bipolar tropical depression.

Dr. Fisher joins me for an in-person video podcast to discuss psychedelics and mental health, healing trauma, progressive thoughts on mental illness + the DSM, the role of psychedelics in mental healthcare and the clinical method for psychedelic treatment, among other things.

EMDR is changing my life and my brain. Following my first EMDR short episode and my lighthearted episode on Fearful Avoidant Attachment, here is a brief in-depth description of the process and neurobiological mechanisms at play during therapy. Topics include preparation for EMDR, specifics of a session and the brain changes happening and why it won't work for some people. I do not have Borderline Personality Disorder, which can be a roadblock with EMDR. I have Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and Complex PTSD.

People were asking about fearful avoidant attachment after listening to the EMDR episode. Here you go: rainy day activity 8 minutes including a ridiculous literary quote about hugging FA may "get".

One little part is taken from my episode "What is The Cure? Thoughts Upon Discharge From the Psych Ward." because it applies here and that's a good episode (Spotify link below or find it on your own)
