Episode Summary
This episode features a conversation with Dr. David Zwoboda (DPT), a traditional physical therapist turned plant medicine healer. David discusses the role plant medicine played in his own mental health journey and how he unintentionally transitioned into the role of a psychedelic facilitator.
Together, Olivia and David explore how talk therapy and plant medicine can work both separately and in conjunction with each other to create sustainable change.
Tanya provides her own experience with both modalities and how they have impacted her.
Lastly, David discusses the importance of ethics in plant medicine, specifically in regard to honoring and respecting the indigenous communities where it originated.
Lastly, we aren't encouraging, nor discouraging psychedelic uses. Be aware of your local laws, and listen to the guidance of a trained professional when attempting to see through time and space.
