Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy

Dr. Dan Engle talks about psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and the future of this medicine. We asked Dr. Engle these questions:

2. What are the benefits of these medicines?

3. What is the latest science and hype on psychedelics?

4. Who might this therapy be good for? Who might it not be good for?

5. What is predicted for this field of medicine?

13 Reasons Why: How to Ask the Tough Questions

1. Season 1 was controversial…the storyline of a teenage girl who commits suicide and she leaves behind distraught family and friends and a series of tapes explaining her pain & decisionn…the new Season picks up with the parents taking the school district to court—this is a difficult show to watch…what are your initial thoughts, Kip?

2. So, what do you think, does this show do more damage or good in watching it…should we watch it or allow our kids to watch it?

3. You have one huge problem with the series, what is it?

4. This is not ‘normal’…these themes are spreading what you believe to be lies…tell us more about that

5. When we do have these conversations with our kids, how do we take the discomfort away?

6. What should we be talking about with our kids? How do we do more inspiring that correcting? How do we create safe places for them to come to us?
