Good evening, everybody. How are y'all doing? Got a great show plan for y'all. We're going to be

kind of doing a little bit of a mixed bag of topics tonight. Late in the show, we'll be talking

about some dating relational stuff because it's a love line and that's what we talk about. But it's

always changing, always evolving. But I wanted to start off the show talking a little bit about

psychedelics. We're not going to do much of a deep dive. It's a little bit of a,

how do I want to say? It's not a warning at all. Psychedelics are becoming a really

important part of culture and mental health work. It's a little bit of things to consider.

Some people are just jumping into the deep end and I have some clients, some friends,

people I know that are asking me questions about like, who is it for? Who is it not for? Should I

consider it? And so I just wanted to do a very gentle, superficial discussion of it. As always,

talk to your therapist or your primary before making any decisions.

This is not meant to be medical advice.

This is just a general discussion.

And, you know, at always at your own risk.

One of the things I think is really important for us as consumers, consumers of everything and anything, food, vitamins, you know, exercise plans, diet plans,

mental health. You have to do your research. Yes, there is such a thing as expertise.

I definitely, you know, after doing a master's program, two doctoral programs and a massive

certification program, I definitely have learned a few things,

and I like to think that I'm a scholar and an expert, but I can't speak to everyone's specific

situation at all times. And we all do need to be educated. You do want to trust experts and

professionals, but you also do want to do some of your own research. And you have to be thoughtful.

I'm not saying that Google and WebMD are perfect. In fact, a lot of the things you'll find online aren't, you know, appropriate or reasonable or specific for you.
