Episode Description
Veterans often carry experiences that are difficult to explain—and even more difficult to heal. In this episode, Andreas Met sits down with Dr. Bonny Koeber, a retired anesthesiologist, former U.S. Army Reserve physician, and licensed Oregon psilocybin facilitator, to discuss why she has dedicated much of her practice to serving veterans.
Together they explore the unique challenges veterans bring into a psilocybin journey, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, loss of control, and the importance of trust between client and facilitator. They also discuss preparation, dosage considerations, difficult experiences, integration, and why creating a safe, supportive environment is essential for meaningful healing.
Whether you're a veteran considering Oregon's regulated psilocybin program, a family member wanting to better understand the process, or simply interested in the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted care, this conversation offers practical insights drawn from real clinical experience.
