uh and over 12 weeks in the maps protocol so 42 hours of therapy over 12 weeks but it's a condensed period it's not medicine for life that's all the treatment they're doing that within just 12 weeks we see statistically significant remodeling of the epigenetic changes on the cortisol receptor to look more like they were in a pre-traumatized state wow

And the symptoms correlate with that.

So as we see more epigenetic remodeling, more effectively repair of the damage that trauma did to the cortisol receptor, we now can see that that can be remodeled and repaired over time.

So the memory of trauma that's stored, not just in our neurons, but also all the way down to our epigenetic code.

can actually be shifted.

And that's where the core memories of trauma seem to be stored.

That's where it gets passed down.

We don't just need to relearn stuff superficially.

Oh, I'm safe.

Okay, great.

What's stored in your DNA, on your DNA, right?

What does that remember?

And that seems to be what really matters.

And when we start to and this was a really exciting study because it was the first time in in this field that we understood that we can use tools like psychedelic assisted therapy to actually reverse trauma memory recorded on the DNA.

Trauma was never known to be really like reversible before on the level of the memory stored in the cells.

We knew it was repairable on a symptom level from the early MDMA and psychedelic work, but we didn't know that you could actually rewrite the epigenetic memory.

So that is really cool because when you that shows us that when you heal yourself and we heal our own trauma in our generation, we can actually shift the likelihood of passing those those trauma changes on to the next generation.

Right.

So healing yourself really does matter because we prevent the passing down of those same pathological shifts onto the next generation.

We stop the cycle.
