Ibogaine "Iboga": Healing PTSD, Addiction, and the Soul with Clayton Smith | Gateways to Awakening


Listen Later

Dear Friends,

In this powerful episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Clayton Smith, a leader in psychedelic-assisted healing and the founder of Beond Service, an initiative dedicated to supporting veterans, first responders, and their families through trauma-informed Ibogaine therapy.

“One of my mantras going in was: don’t analyze, just feel.”  - Clayton Smith 

  • After struggling with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and alcoholism for over a decade, Clayton experienced a life-changing transformation through Ibogaine, an African plant medicine known for its unique neuroplasticity benefits and profound emotional healing capacity. He shares his deeply personal journey, the science behind how Ibogaine works, and why it can be effective for both chemical dependency and emotional wounds.

  • You can listen to the entire conversation here:

    We explore:

    • The differences between Ibogaine and other plant medicines like ayahuasca and psilocybin

    • Clayton’s vivid first-hand account of revisiting pivotal life moments during treatment

    • How Ibogaine blends clinical safety protocols with profound spiritual insight

    • Why integration is key to lasting transformation—and how to do it well

    • The surprising archetypal energies of Ibogaine and its capacity to bring both feminine nurturance and masculine challenge

    • The current legal status of Ibogaine and efforts to expand access in the U.S.

    Whether you’re curious about psychedelic medicine, seeking recovery from trauma, or simply want to understand the deeper possibilities of healing, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and inspiration.
