Psychedelics: Journeying Through Mind and Mental Health with Joey Nakao
“Psychedelics can help open your eyes to the traumas you've been through and allow you to revisit them. It's your trauma being brought to the forefront. If you don't have a guide there with you or somebody protecting you or keeping you safe, that's when you jump off buildings and walk in front of trains and stuff.”
