Are psychedelics a legitimate therapeutic tool—or just another risky trend?
In this clinical dialogue, renowned trauma and addiction expert Dr. Gabor Maté joins author and mindfulness educator Valerie (Vimalasara) Mason-John to explore the controversial yet growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Drawing on personal experience and years of facilitating retreats, Dr. Maté discusses how substances like ayahuasca, iboga, and MDMA may support clients in confronting trauma, disrupting addictive patterns, and reconnecting with their sense of self—when used with clear intention and clinical care.
