Guys with Feelings

Jaemin and Gabe welcome Sharon Avesar (integrative therapist) to talk about her work using ketamine, a controversial club drug, alongside therapy to quickly and effectively treat severe cases of depression. We talk about the surprising breakthroughs Sharon has seen with her clients, why ketamine combined WITH therapy is so damn effective, the future of psychedelics for treating mental health, and also how attachment theory can be a gamechanger for men's romantic lives (as it was for Jaemin).
