Summary

Ever thought of treating your brain bugs with a pinch of tech and a dash of psychedelics? The boys sit down with Joel Muise, the co-founder of Tranquility and a mastermind in internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT). Picture this: a world where managing anxiety and depression is as easy as clicking a button. Joel shares his personal journey, growing up with untreated anxiety and the silent battles with judgement he faced. It's a raw and real look at the struggles many of us face but seldom talk about. Joel dives into the nitty-gritty of therapy, including the upsides and challenges of antidepressants. He passionately discusses how iCBT is revolutionizing mental health care – making it more accessible, affordable, and convenient. But what’s a Sickboy episode about mental health without diving into the transformative world of psychedelics? Joel also explores the intriguing world of "ancient technology" and their potential to heal deep-seated traumas. It's a blend of the old and the new in the quest for mental wellness.
