Today we are diving deep in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Katie Mather, writer and podcaster, joins us today to share about her experience with psychedelic-assisted therapy (ketamine & cannabis) to treat depression and trauma - and the underlying theory on why psychedelics are believed to be effective in treating mental health issues. Katie grew up in Alaska with a respect for two things—nature and the power of a good story to change everything (or at least something). She is a  high school English teacher and soccer coach turned writer and podcast host. In 2020, KT published her first novel - "Rage is a Wolf". She currently lives in Vermont with her family, where she writes and hosts the podcast “Out of Curiosity with KT Mather"Psychedelic Somatic Psychotherapy WhitepaperMolly, Psychedelic Drug, Shows Great Promise As Mental Health Treatment, New Study FindsDMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences by Rick StrassmanHow to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan Support the Podcast -https://www.patreon.com/adultchildwww.buymeacoffee.com/adultchildFollow Andrea on social -www.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://soundcloud.com/dean-martin-official/aint-that-a-kick-in-the-head-1 (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only, no monetization)Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/adultchild)
