Todays episode features my guest, author Alex Abraham. His incredible memoir, "Trauma and Ecstasy: How Psychedelics Made My Life Worth Living" takes a long, hard look at pain - from the sudden, unexplained pelvic floor discomfort that afflicted him at the end of a trip abroad, to the deeply rooted anxiety and shame of a childhood robbed of innocence.

In this powerful and courageous conversation, Alex takes us through his journey of healing from sexual abuse, while searching for answers to his health issues that traditional medicine failed to explain or treat.

His story offers the hope of real help for healing, from the emotional and physical aftermath of abuse and chronic pain.
