Most of us think of trauma and what happens in the brain and body as a life sentence. Once you’ve been “traumatized” or you’ve been told you have PTSD, that's it, and you'll deal with it for the rest of your life. But the latest neuroscience and mental health research is giving us a very different lens through which we can see quite a bit of hope. In conversations with Dr. Gabor Maté MD , a leading trauma physician, and Dr. Rachel Yehuda PhD, a leading researcher on the science of trauma — we learn what trauma truly is, what it does to our bodies and minds, and how to heal from it.

Could a cure be on the way for mental illness? In today’s episode we’re talking with two leading minds in the psychedelic therapy space, Dr. Rick Doblin PhD and Dr. Ben Sessa MD, working on MDMA-assisted therapy, the most promising breakthrough treatment on the horizon for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD). We kick off today’s show with a special introduction from Rachel Nuwer, the award-winning freelance science journalist who regularly contributes to National Geographic, Scientific American, and who has been tracking the progress of the MDMA research trials closely in the New York Times. You’ll learn what MDMA-assisted therapy is, how it works, who it’s good for, and what the new research is saying about its potential to jump-start self-healing.
