Season of Stuck
Psychedelic-Assisted Treatment and Getting Unstuck
In this podcast episode, we talk to Dr. Dave Rabin, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, about the neuroscience of feeling stuck and the therapeutic potential of psychedelic-assisted treatment. He explains how stress narrows our focus to fight or flight responses, leading to a feeling of being stuck. Dr. Rabin also discusses how psychedelic medicine can provide perspective and aid in therapy by allowing individuals to safely explore their consciousness—and get unstuck in the process. We also dive into the Apollo wearable device, which uses vibrations to induce a calm state and help manage chronic stress—without the use of any substances.
Tune in to learn about:
- The neuroscience of feeling stuck
- The role of psychedelic medicine in interrupting feeling stuck
- The physiological and psychological aspects of feeling stuck
- Creating safe spaces for processing experiences and emotions
- Psychedelic medicine inducing states of consciousness
- Altering the brain's default mode network
- Trauma and formation of tight neural networks
- The use of ketamine as a legal psychedelic
- The differences between recreational use and psychedelic therapy
- Accessing innate capacity to heal through psychedelic medicines and natural techniques
Thoughts from the Episode:
"Once you're separated from your pain, which is oftentimes what is contributing to our stuckness, then you can see it without judging it, and you're not overwhelmed by the feeling of it." –Dr. Dave Rabin
