Today, Jan is joined by Alex Abraham, author of ‘Trauma and Ecstasy: How Psychedelics Made My Life Worth Living’, who shares their deeply personal journey of overcoming trauma through unconventional means. The conversation explores how repressed experiences can surface unexpectedly, shaping both mental and physical health in profound ways. They discuss alternative approaches to healing, the challenges of navigating systems that often overlook root causes, and the complexities of seeking accountability. The dialogue touches on broader themes of resilience, the power of storytelling, and the societal shifts needed to better address trauma. With reflections on forgiveness, self-discovery, and hope, this episode offers a raw look at one individual’s path to reclaiming their life, and why such stories matter for collective healing.
