Dr. Steve Rosonke, MD, is one of those doctors who go the extra mile to help his patients. After years of treating addiction with traditional methods and seeing that many of his patients did not reach a place of healing, he searched for new interventions. This is how he found Ketamine, a substance that is so widely used that the World Health Organization lists it as one of the most essential medicines due to its therapeutic effects and the wide margin of safety.

In this interview, Dr. Steve talks about the use of Ketamine in the treatment of addiction: what it looks like, who benefits from it, costs, how long the treatment lasts, and everything you need to know to educate yourself on this topic.

The state of Oregon, USA, has been the first to approve a system of psilocybin-assisted therapy. Today we interview the clinical psychologist Alissa Bazinet, Ph.D., who is in the Training Subcommittee of the Oregon psilocybin Advisory board.

In this interview, she shares the advances Oregon has made to make sure that we are ready to offer these services in 2023, which is when the program needs to be implemented. Alissa also comments on the many questions that are still unanswered by the Board and the challenges faced by the State.

Ryan Hoffman was raised as a conservative Christian, which informed his view that there is more out there than the material world we see. “I knew there were mysteries in the world, maybe God, Source, or Spirit,” he says. His openness took him on a path of curiosity that led to psychedelics, particularly LSD, cannabis, and psilocybin.

Today, he is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist working with a number of modalities including Transpersonal, Somatic, Emotion Focused Therapy, Humanistic, and Psychodynamic. Ryan also provides Ketamine treatment. In this interview, he explains what the treatment looks like, where to find it, and the impact it can have on the therapeutic process.

Cristina Sandwen's experience with psychedelics started right after a series of small crises led to a tipping point in her life. "One day, my toilet overflowed, covering my entire apartment with you-know-what, and that became this metaphor of my whole life having literally been thrown down the toilet," she recalls. Fast-forward a few years and today, Christina is a Certified Addiction Recovery and Psycho-Spiritual Integration coach who works with areas such as depression, anxiety, and excessive negative self-talk. In this episode, she shares her experiences with us and tells us why she considers herself a "psychedelic nerd." :)
