Firefighter's PTSD Ayahuasca Saved Me From Suicide

Healing First Responder Trauma: Michael Behe's Journey with Plant Medicine

In this heartfelt episode of the Mindful Mutiny Podcast, we welcome Michael Bochey, a firefighter who shares his profound experiences dealing with first responder trauma. Michael opens up about his 15-year career, the emotional toll it took on him, and his journey toward healing through plant medicine. He discusses the unique challenges first responders face, the difference between egoic trauma and perceptual trauma, and how traditional therapy didn’t fully address his needs. Michael's transformative experience with Pachamama Sacred Paths, where he engaged in EMDR therapy and plant-based medicine rituals, is explored in depth. The episode encapsulates the breakthroughs he experienced, including the cathartic process of ego dissolution and the realignment of his life perspectives. For anyone dealing with complex PTSD, this episode offers a beacon of hope and a new pathway to healing.
