The Healing Power of Psychedelics - Interview with Lora Solomon

Are mushrooms healing or dangerous? Lora Solomon is a Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of healthcare experience, and whose mission it is to "inspire, teach, and mentor you as you transform your wounds into wisdom". Lora is an advocate when it comes to changing the way we give help to those who have suffered trauma, and in this week's episode, she talks to Paul about whether people can actually heal through the use of psychedelics, and whether or not the future of treatments relies on this sometimes controversial method. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trauma can manifest itself as physical illness if not treated properly. It's often been seen as unproven, but it is largely recognised as fact now. Accessibility to psychedelics means opening up this form of treatment to balanced conversation and really trying to table a debate - normalising it. The after effects of the psychedelics is very gentle and doesn't feel like a traditional, painful comedown. This is because the treatment essentially resets your nervous system. If the body is a musical instrument, then this treatment is like tuning. Fear of this treatment comes from the natural human fear of the unknown. People don't like to put themselves into places of which they are unsure. When we overcome this, the benefits will be explosive.
