Tania de Jong AM from Mind Medicine Australia joins the team this week for a further chat about psychedelic-assisted therapies following on from their episode on this topic last season.

Tania was one of the key people who worked to change the TGA’s (Therapeutic Goods Administration) mind, with the recent historic rescheduling process part led by Mind Medicine, the not for profit company Tania co-founded with her husband and business partner Peter Hunt AM.

During this chat Tania explains how she first came across these therapies and how they in fact helped her overcome generational trauma she suffered as the daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors.. and why she is so passionate in this space.

The ruling to reschedule these compounds from Schedule 9 Prohibited Substances to Schedule 8 Controlled Drugs is incredibly important for the future of psychedelic-assisted therapies - MDMA for treatment resistant PTSD and psilocybin for treatment resistant depression. This rescheduling is seen as a huge win for Australia as front runners in the legalisation of this movement.
