Commune with Jeff Krasno

Psychedelic Therapy, PTSD, and the Path to Healing with Lauren Taus

Listen Later

Most mental health treatments manage symptoms, but psychedelic therapy goes after the root cause.


In this episode, Jeff sits down with Lauren Taus, psychotherapist and psychedelic integration specialist, to break down what these medicines actually are, how they work, and whether they might be right for you.

  • The history of psychedelic research — and how Nixon's war on drugs shut it down
  • MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and ayahuasca: what each one does and who it's for
  • Why integration matters more than the experience itself
  • How to find a qualified guide (and the red flags to watch for)
  • The role of psychedelics in end-of-life care and death anxiety

    • This episode is for anyone curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy, navigating treatment-resistant depression or PTSD, or looking for a grounded, honest guide to what these medicines can and can't do.
