About this listen

In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Dawn sits down with Tara Portelli to talk about something that’s stirring a lot of conversation: psilocybin therapy as a treatment for trauma and mental health. Tara takes us on her journey from working as a paramedic to becoming a psilocybin therapist, and how one experience with the therapy changed the way she understood her own trauma.

We dig into the science behind psilocybin, talk about what “integration” really means after these kinds of experiences, and get real about who this type of treatment might actually work for. We also touch on the spiritual side of these experiences and why solid guidance and support are non-negotiable when you’re stepping into this kind of work.
