HealthyGamerGG · How Psychedelics Unlock Your Brain’s “Edit Mode” · 13 Oct 2025 podcast

How are you going to repair your relationship with your ex-wife now that you feel super connected to all people and you realize that she wasn't a bad person?

She was just doing the best that she could.

So there's a very important integration component.

And this is very different from I'm depressed and doing psychedelics at home.

So here's what I've sort of found.

Set and setting become really important for figuring out, are the psychedelics going to screw me up and give me panic disorders and PTSD?

Or are they going to be healing?

Because what we also know about psychedelics is it's not just clinical trials that they figured this out, right?

So most psychedelic substances...

have been used in safe spiritual traditions.

So, for example, ayahuasca has, you know, particular shamans who will train with the medicine.

You know, I've worked with people like this who will go for like one month and they'll be like in the Amazon rainforest guided by...

Like shamans who you have a very restricted diet, they'll give you ayahuasca.

Sometimes you'll take it every day for about 30 days.

Sometimes you'll eat very little and you have a lot of people who will sort of guide you through the process.

And in cases where your mindset is good, positive, you know, you're kind of focused, you're ready to do something and you have enough support structure, whether that's a shaman in a spiritual tradition or someone like a medical doctor, like a psychiatrist, those become really, really important for a sort of

creating the healing effects and protecting you from the negative effects.

And what I've seen is that there are a lot of people who think, oh, psychedelics can cure me of my PTSD, but they have no idea that the studies that show that are 14-week trials where therapists are sitting with you for eight hours during the trip, where someone is sort of there and sort of protecting you and keeping you safe.

And then what they'll do is they'll think, oh, I'm super depressed.

I need to feel better.
