Ep. 49 | Ceremonial & Therapeutic Power of Psychedelic Medicine with Dr. Ellen Vora & Dr. Tanmeet Sethi, Part 1 of 2
Board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Ellen Vora, and integrative physician, Dr. Tanmeet Sethi, join Dr. Avanti for an impactful and insightful two-part conversation on psychedelics and plant medicine. In this first episode, they talk about the mechanisms behind how treatments like ketamine, psilocybin, and Ayahuasca work — explaining in simple terms how we have a decreased stress response to trauma, and how the reversal of PTSD is possible. They also discuss why ceremony and community experiences are so powerful for a society that is deeply starved of ritual, and how these medicines allow for a greater feeling of interconnectedness.
