What if anxiety, depression, burnout, and emotional disconnection aren’t disorders at all, but signals from a nervous system that never learned how to feel safe?

In this episode of the Rapid Harmony Podcast, Kyle Emanuel Brown sits down with Will and Krista Van Der Veer, leaders at the forefront of trauma-informed, integrative psychiatry. Together, they explore why the traditional mental health model often treats symptoms while missing the root cause, unresolved trauma stored in the nervous system.

Will is a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, where he has trained thousands of clinicians worldwide in root-cause, trauma-informed care. Krista is a trauma specialist and somatic practitioner with over two decades of experience helping people heal patterns that talk therapy alone can’t reach.

This conversation bridges neuroscience, somatic healing, and the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, while staying grounded in safety, integration, and real-world application.

You’ll learn:

* Why trauma is often misdiagnosed as mental illness

* What the nervous system actually needs to heal

* How unresolved trauma shows up in high-achieving leaders

* Where psychedelic medicine fits and where it’s misunderstood

* Practical ways to begin restoring trust in your own healing process

This episode is for anyone who senses there’s more to healing than managing symptoms and is ready to understand what true, root-level mental health really looks like.

For years, biohacking promised superhuman performance. But what if the real breakthrough is not hacking yourself, but learning yourself? Dr. Scott Sherr, one of the world’s leading voices in hyperbaric and conscious performance medicine, joins us to explore the frontier where biology meets awareness.
This conversation dives into the nuances of stress, recovery, focus, nervous system intelligence, pharmacology, psychedelics, mitochondrial health, and the subtle inner practices that create a truly high-performing human.
Scott and Kyle explore what happens when you combine science, spirituality, and sovereignty, and why the new era of performance is less about controlling the body and more about awakening the human behind it.
