Learn about the promise that psychedelics hold for addressing trauma
Trauma comes in many forms: environmental trauma, political trauma, ancestral trauma, and more. In the psychedelic community, we often talk about “trauma” as the root cause of mental health challenges. Trauma can present as what we think of as “post-traumatic stress disorder,” with flashbacks, insomnia, and fear. But it can also manifest as depression, substance use disorder, anxiety or another mental health condition. Trauma can happen as the result of one acute incident—such as from sexual assault or combat—but it can also happen, subtly, over many years. Many people who have trauma may not even be diagnosed with anything, but just be struggling in their lives and not know why. In this webinar, Dr. Julie Holland will talk about the promise psychedelics hold for addressing our personal, collective, and planetary traumas. We’ll also talk about the risks of retraumatization from psychedelics and explore, more broadly, what trauma is. There will also be time for questions from our community at the end.

We started DoubleBlind two years ago at a time when even the largest magazines and media companies were cutting staff and going out of business. At the time we made a commitment: we will never have a paywall, we will never rely on advertisers we don’t believe in to fund our reporting, and we will always be accessible via email and social media to support people for free on their journeys with plant medicines.
To help us do this, if you feel called and can afford it, we ask you to consider becoming a monthly member and supporting our work. In exchange, you'll receive a subscription to our print magazine, monthly calls with leading psychedelic experts, access to our psychedelic community, and much more.
