Summary
With the growing acceptance of psychedelic therapy, questions arise about the ethics, effectiveness, and experiences it brings. In this episode, Hillary addresses those questions in conversation with Geoff Turner, the host of CBC’s On Drugs podcast. Through historical clips and moments from actual sessions, they explore how substances are reshaping mental health treatment — including Hillary’s own experience as a patient — to talk about how psychedelic psychotherapy works. Using clips of the upcoming episodes, they talk about the big ethical questions, the big scientific questions, and what Hillary sees as the enormous promise of psychedelics to help people with their mental health.
New episodes will be released weekly on Mondays. Don't want to wait? Binge the whole season right now via CBC Stories Premium on Apple Podcasts.

| 0:47.5 | One, we're using psychedelic psychotherapy and people are really bravely letting you in on their |
| 0:53.5 | works, the work that stretches the boundaries and imagination of what psychotherapy could be. |
| 0:59.3 | But two, you're going to hear from people in a much more personal way. |
| 1:02.9 | Many of my patients who are including their sessions in this season |
| 1:05.7 | are actually featured in interviews in the episodes themselves. |
| 1:09.9 | So you get to hear not just from my voice and from their work when they're actually in the |

| 1:22.3 | We also have an extra special bonus that I'm including one of my own personal sessions in |
| 1:27.1 | the podcast season. |
| 1:28.5 | So you'll get to hear a little bit about what this work has been like for me. |
| 1:32.9 | Because there's something that's so different about this season, we wanted to set it up well |
