Conversations With a Wounded Healer

229 - Heather Friedman - Pulling the Thread on Trauma, Love, Ketamine, and Psychedelic Therapy


Listen Later

In the words of post-punk pioneers Talking Heads, "This ain't no party! This ain't no disco! This ain't no foolin' around!" Instead, we're getting serious about ketamine and psychedelic-assisted therapy with Heather Friedman, a New Hampshire-based psychotherapist, NARM-certified therapist, EMDR practitioner, and witchy-witch.

Whether you're psychedelic curious or cautious, it's worth noting that the use of MDMA, psilocybin, ayahuasca, etc., in guided practice could expedite breakthroughs in the treatment of PTSD, C-PTSD, and depression that might take years via talk or somatic modalities alone.

Heather views psychedelics as a true "assist," meaning she advocates for advanced client prep plus post-experience support to correctly disseminate the epiphanies one may have while under the influence.

GUEST BIO

Heather Friedman MC, LCMHC, LPC, is the owner of Tree of Life Psychotherapy, where she treats a wide variety of clients for PTSD, C-PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders. While she has been trained in many modalities over her 12 year career, her heart belongs to NARM, EMDR and most recently, psychedelic assisted therapy. When she is not busy with the work of healing, you can find her gardening, writing, snuggling her hounds and being with the people she loves.
