Culture Changers with Allison Hare

EP157: Ketamine psychedelic therapy: Chris Schembra's story

Listen Later

Chris Schembra does it again! This 3x vet of the Culture Changers podcast is letting us in on his psychedelic-assisted ketamine experience. While ketamine has a controversial and complicated history, the data on a medically supervised approach is showing to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other treatment-resistant conditions.

Chris, known by USA Today as the Gratitude Guru is a best-selling author, founding member of the Culture Council for Rolling Stone Magazine, and the founder and CEO of 7:47 Club serving execs and employees of many Fortune 500 companies.

Please note that we are not medical professionals. Please consult with your doctor before making any decisions for your own treatment.

Topics we covered:

  • Brief overview of ketamine
  • Chris' decision to try this approach after trying EVERYTHING else
  • Non-suicidal self-injury and why it changed everything
  • Why our society leaves us feeling so dissatisfied?
  • Being #1 in the WSJ book charts and how it spurred a very low moment
  • The experience and the journey
  • Did it work? WAS IT WORTH IT?
