I am honored to introduce Shake it Off listeners to Dr. Raymond Turpin because this discussion builds awareness about a groundbreaking treatment (MDMA-Assisted Therapy) for treatment-resistant Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a condition that traditionally some people live with for a lifetime and are not able to successfully treat.
Ray is the Clinical and Executive Director of Pearl Psychedelic Institute in Waynesville, North Carolina. He is a clinical psychologist and psychedelic therapist. The Pearl Psychedelic Institute is currently the only clinic providing MDMA-Assisted Therapy in the Southeast (USA). In this episode, Ray covers the latest research on the effectiveness of psychedelic therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD, depression, and other mental health conditions.
Kendra and I talk with Ray about how he started working in psychedelic therapy, how MDMA impacts the brain when it is used to treat PTSD and what the protocol and experience is like if you were to access MDMA-Assisted therapy for PTSD.
You won’t want to miss out on this episode, Ray has decades of experience in trauma therapy and gives us a unique insider’s perspective on what is known about the effectiveness of this type of therapy. He also covers the incredible services they provide at Pearl Psychedlic Institute.
