EP8: Cody Lakevold Confronts Bourbon, EMDR, Anti-Fragility, & MDMA Therapy

The long-awaited return of Cody Lakevold, for part two of our conversation has arrived.

It’s not entirely necessary to listen to our first podcast (Ep. 1) but would be helpful for following the thread during this conversation.  It also helps with my download numbers, which of course, supersedes any value one might gain from this conversation.

Cody follows up from our first discussion by navigating us through his journey to address the tragic losses he experienced in his life, and shares the various treatment modalities he pursued: EDMR, psychotherapy, and lastly MDMA with augmented psychotherapy—an approach that, I think it’s safe to say, gave him his life back

We also talked about the state of well-being in our society today, notions such as anti-fragility, the over-medicalization of mental illness, and other sub-optimal wellness pathways our society is trending towards today.

Please note:  None of the following should be taken as medical advice. 

Also, brace yourself for some new CTM intro music — it’s going to hit you like a Rob Lovelace (google him) punch to the solar plexus.
