Managing Partners - 06 - Sheri & Tom Eckert, Innerwork/Oregon Psilocybin Society


Listen Later

Jill and Jeff sit down with therapists Sheri and Tom Eckert. They run a counseling practice together. But they’re better known as the couple pushing for Oregon to legalize therapy using psilocybin, a.k.a. the hallucinogen found in “magic mushrooms.” Topics include how psychedelics got a bad rap (17:38), why Oregonians have the worst mental health (24:10), finding love later in life (43:30), and how Tom and Sheri can’t help using their therapy skills on each other (50:43).
