Treating Stress, Trauma, And Burn Out

Many times some of those aces, those adverse childhood experiences get stuck, that trauma gets stuck in our body and energy work like Reiki really can be helpful at releasing some of that stuck trauma, which is important sometimes too, we have to let go of.

-Well, it's interesting right now, there's a lot of research going on around psychedelics and stress and trauma. And in fact, just a couple of days ago, published in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry, I think there was a study on psilocybin, which is mushrooms, they call magic mushrooms, that was four times as effective as antidepressants. And it's used for PTSD, for war veterans, for people who have cancer. And it's not legal yet. There are a lot of research trials going on, so sometimes people can get enrolled. Oregon just legalized it for therapy, which is amazing. There are states which have decriminalized it as well. So it's really, I think, gonna be an emerging therapy that often works really well to help break down that sense of fear and separateness that makes us stay in this chronic state of trauma. So, you know, we're learning a lot about how to deal with trauma, and there's so many different techniques. And I think what you underscored was that often the doorway into healing from chronic stress is through your body, not just your mind, through your diet, exercise, circadian rhythms, the right supplements, various kinds of stress reduction techniques, meditation, yoga, Reiki, whatever, maybe even some of these newer therapies that are being used out there like psychedelic assisted therapy. And I think that we're sort of on the verge of, I think, a real breakthrough in understanding how to help people with this.
