That's betterhelp.com.
I know where these places are because I lived in San Diego for a little bit.
The mall shop is like not anywhere close to where the Navy trains.
I was actually laughing to myself before knowing that you and your friends were driving so far from Coronado to get these milkshakes.
Passing a lot of good food on the way, I would say.
That's actually pretty wild that you saw this same exact situation unfold.
Thank you so much to Jake for sharing his story and really best of luck to him as he continues the healing process.
I really want to wish him the best from myself and the rest of the Otherworld team.
I thought this was so fascinating to listen to, but also covers such an important and exciting topic.
Since the beginning of Otherworld, I've always said that I really hope some of the things that are currently considered paranormal or supernatural by mainstream science might one day be studied, understood, and potentially create major breakthroughs for humanity.
And although these sacred plant medicines and their use are absolutely not new,
Just a short time ago, the idea of doing serious research into these plant medicines, at least in the Western world, would have been met with deep skepticism at best, if not overt hostility or laughter in the past.
It's wonderful that this is slowly changing, and it's very exciting to think of the possibilities the future might hold.
For anyone interested in learning more or seeking resources, Jake sent along a few that we will be including in the description of this episode.
I think it goes without saying that if you are interested in this type of treatment, this is something that you should do under the supervision of a qualified individual in a controlled setting.
And by qualified individual, I do not mean one of your friends
By controlled setting, I do not mean a futon in their living room.
These are very powerful substances that should be treated with respect and taken seriously, and there are plenty of resources out there if you want to learn more.
My final disclaimer is that if you are ever considering taking your own life for any reason, just know that there is always a way out, even if it seems like you've tried everything.
Something I kept thinking about after hearing this story is Jake's description of looking up the coast after receiving this treatment and being able to see the very beach where he was trained and began his story just over the border.
