The Healing Power of Psychedelics & Personal Narratives with Mareesa Stertz | CHANGE MAKERS PODCAST

When Mareesa Stertz and I sat down to discuss the transformative power of psychedelics, we uncovered layers of our own healing journeys that we're thrilled to share. Marissa, with her work at the Global Psychedelic Society and creative ventures in Costa Rica, brings a wealth of experience to a conversation that's both personal and educational. We peel back the curtain to reveal how these substances guided us from the depths of depression and trauma towards powerful self-expression and a deeper understanding of our own narratives. This episode isn't just about our stories—it's a canvas for the broader strokes of psychedelic therapy's impact on mental health, the power dynamics in facilitator-participant relationships, and the rise of communal support through global psychedelic societies. We celebrate the shift from countercultural taboo to medical acceptance and ponder the ethical considerations as these treatments become more mainstream. It's a discussion that tackles the importance of integration, the potential of novel therapies like MDMA-assisted sessions, and the delicate balance of using these experiences for self-discovery rather than escape.
