28 - Let's Get Psyched! (with Dr. Sabina Pillai)

How does psychedelic-assisted therapy give people perspective?
How does ketamine help with diagnoses like depression and
anxiety? Sabina Pillai, from Field Trip Health, enlightens Tolu
and Kristina on the healing potential of psychedelics and
ketamine. They discuss what a typical session looks like for
clients who come to Field Trip Health. Sabina explains how
psychedelics target the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects
of a person and may help with existential questions one may have
such as “What have I been put on this earth to do?”. Kristina
asks about how more individuals can get involved in creating more
alternatives to current mental health treatments…and Sabina gives
a great answer! The TOTE is psychedelics.
