"This type of work—psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy—in my opinion, is the tip of the spear. It is the future of mental health and, in a big way, the future of healthcare in general."

EFR 538: My First Experience with Ketamine Therapy
In this solo episode, Chase gives his thoughts on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and his own life-changing sessions as Field Trip Health.
It was through the various studies conducted through Field Trip Health that Chase was truly exposed to the world of ketamine and its enhancing benefits to the psychotherapeutic process.
What was especially impactful for him was learning about the almost curative effects of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy on servicemembers suffering from PTSD, severe anxiety, and depression.
After sifting through the research as well as hearing from the actual healthcare professionals working at Field Trip Health, Chase came to the conclusion that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is the future of healthcare as a whole, considering the trajectory of your life is largely downstream from your mental health.
Listen in as Chase offers his advice to those who, like himself, are exploring the world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and why he believes so strongly in leaning into what feels right on your unique wellness journey.
He reflects back on his two, incredibly profound ketamine sessions at Field Trip Health, and how those two sessions gave Chase “years of [therapy] work in about an hour.”
