Forget Everything You Think You Know About Magic Mushrooms, an interview with Alex Abraham

Forget everything you think you know about plant medicines like Psilocybin, Ayahuasca and Peyote. They’re not punchlines. They’re not party favors for aging hippies. Instead, as Alex Abraham discovered, they are an innovative approach that can help heal trauma and chronic pain.

Alex shares his painful journey from a pelvic floor injury, to awakening years of sexual abuse, and years of therapy, to discovering plant medicine.

This isn't about drug use or hallucinating. This is about health benefits of micro-dosing to heal trauma and reroute the brain. So powerful, Stamford, and a multitude of universities are doing deep research into the validity that they can heal people with PTSD.

Empowering episode.

ABOUT ALEX ABRAHAM:

Alex Abraham has spent years researching, exploring, and experiencing firsthand the therapeutic treatment options for healing from childhood sexual abuse. Psychedelics and integration therapy forever changed his life.

His first book, Trauma and Ecstasy takes a long, hard look at pain, from the sudden unexplained pelvic floor discomfort that afflicted Alex 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 memoir, Alex takes you on his journey of healing from sexual abuse while searching for answers to his health issues that traditional medicine failed to explain or treat.

Trauma and Ecstasy is quite likely the most engaging, honest, and compelling memoir of surviving childhood sexual trauma you’ll ever read. It offers the hope of real help for healing from the emotional and physical aftermath of abuse and chronic pain.

When not educating other survivors about the benefits of psychedelics, Alex enjoys traveling the world and experiencing new foods. A connoisseur of food truck fare, he lives in Austin, Texas.
