Welcome to the Trauma Therapist podcast.

My name is Guy McPherson.

I interview incredible people who've dedicated their lives to helping those who've been impacted by trauma.

A big thank you to our sponsors and our guests who are supporting this show.

Five, four, three, two, and one.

Our folks, welcome back to the podcast.

Very excited to have us my guest today, Dr. Cassius

Drake. Cassius, welcome. Thank you. Welcome. Good to be here. Awesome. Dr. Drake is a co-founder and

medical director of the Drake Center for Transformative Healing, where he applies over two decades

of emergency medicine experience to holistic trauma care.

Trained at Cornell University and the University of Texas Medical Branch and Board Certified

in emergency medicine, Dr. Drake saw firsthand how traditional Western medicine can fall short

in addressing emotional and spiritual suffering.

He integrates his clinical expertise with mind-body spirit practices to support healing beyond physical symptoms, guiding patients through nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and comprehensive wellness within a medically supervised, compassionate environment.

All right, catches, obviously just a little bit about you.

Before we get going,

share with our listeners where you're from originally

and where you are currently.

Originally grew up in the Houston, Texas area.

And now we reside with my wife and sons and pets

in Oakland County, Michigan, in Franklin, Michigan.

Okay. All right. So very interesting to me, the Western medicine, holistic care, Eastern medicine, spirituality, the movement between the two or lack thereof.
