What happens when your sibling not only shares your past but also walks with you into the same medicine that changed your life?
In this deeply personal episode of Ibogaine Uncovered, host Talia Eisenberg sits down with her brother, psychedelic integration therapist Zev Eisenberg, to explore his first-hand experience with Ibogaine and the healing it brought to their family.
Zev reflects on their shared childhood in Omaha, his journey from the high-pressure art world to becoming a therapist, and the fears he carried about Ibogaine after witnessing Talia’s own intense experience years ago. He shares how the medicine helped him reprocess painful memories, regulate his emotions, reconnect with his inner child, and even take steps toward reconciliation with their father. Together, they discuss family dynamics, the evolution of psychedelic work from trauma healing to personal optimization, and the value of returning to Ibogaine for deeper layers of growth.
Zev Eisenberg is an NYU-trained psychologist and psychedelic integration therapist based in New York City. He now specializes in helping clients prepare for and integrate transformational psychedelic experiences through his practice, Heart Openers.
