Polyvagal Theory, which according to Dr. Porges is not a theory but a description of the nervous system, has revolutionized our view of how humans work, relate, heal, and grow. This theory has radically changed how many therapists conduct psychotherapy today. It has also changed the way many people think about who we are and how we work, providing a conceptual framework that can greatly accelerate one’s personal journey towards full self-acceptance. This podcast covers many of Dr. Porges central concepts. We also briefly talk about the relationship between Polyvagal Theory and MDMA-Assisted Therapy.

Rick Doblin, legendary founder of MAPS, discusses his views on the recent unexpected decision by the FDA to delay the approval of MDMA-Assisted Therapy for broad clinical use. In this interview, Rick clarifies each point raised against MDMA therapy in the recent controversy, then counters and dispels most of the criticism that was raised against the studies. We also explore the strange turns in recent history, starting with the unfortunate Power Trip Podcast, which itself turned out to be a power trip. Rick also talks about the psychotherapy method used in the FDA research, and shared this article on the topic: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2824481.
