This is probably the most personal podcast & video I recorded so far.

Together with my Co-Founder of The New Health Institute Philip von Drechsel I sat down and we both opened up about addiction, trauma and the PTSD we were carrying around in very different ways.Which became the reason why we founded The New Health Institute. Our mission is to change perceptions and lives by advancing knowledge and access to psychedelic mental health care.

In the last weeks I was thinking a lot about how much I should talk about my actual story and my trauma. But some things made me do this.

having a founding partner that came out with his own story about his addiction

listing to Tim Ferris talking about his child abuse healing story and listening to Amy Griffin on Oprah’s book club about her story in “The Tell made me feel validated, brave and ready to talk

if we share our trauma, it seems no longer so scary. We can heal from that. In community, in telling others who understand

my recent MDMA assisted therapy session made me loose my shame and fear, that wasn’t mine anyway, so I could finally TALK

the insight that the shame belongs to the abusers, not the person that experienced the abuse

we should be able to talk about trauma and addiction in a new and normal way. And how psychedelic assisted therapy can help us to heal from it.
