Is there something you can take right after a traumatic event to reduce the traumatic nature of it affecting later behavior or thoughts? Or how do you stop it from being overwhelming later on when you have to expose to that memory that is intrusive into your everyday life?

It is incredible. It's not legal yet, but once it does get approved by the FDA, it's likely to revolutionize how we work with trauma and treatment protocols specifically to help reduce the impact, the long-term impact. of trauma. Stanislav Graf, one of the pioneers in the field of psychedelics, will be for psychiatry what the microscope is for biology or the telescope is for astronomy.

I believe that because it has a profound ability to hijack the neuroplastic sort of effects of serotonin in the brain. And there's not only is there an ability to help reconsolidate memories that have been traumatic.

But there's a sense of meaningfulness that comes out of those transcendent kinds of experiences that most participants will say that it's among the top 10 or five most meaningful experiences of their life, right? And that compared to placebo is dramatic difference.

So it's not only is it hijacking this special circuitry that this 5-HT2A serotonin receptor binding induces this real change in neuroplasticity where now a real sort of what you call is you take a memory trace that may be traumatic, you make it labile, meaning normal. You make it temporarily pliable or plastic such that you can now change it.

And you're taking that memory, you're using pharmacology to make a traumatic memory susceptible to a more adaptive type of experience that you remember. not in a positive way, but in a way that you can more easily cope with.

It has these dramatic abilities to work along with the behavioral approach that you get in psychotherapy to augment the necessary changes in those kinds of traumatic memories that are going to be therapeutic.

It's a really good point, and psilocybin and MDMA have shown to do that. In fact, even MDMA, which has been even more successful in the VA system, or people who experience trauma, especially related to war, There's this increased feeling, ratings of loving, sociability, friendliness that come with that. So that decreases the ability to detect hostile faces.
