#98 - MDMA for Relational Healing & How Psychedelics Improve Therapeutic Capacity w/ Dr. Anne Wagner

I take so much care in selecting guests for the show, and Dr. Anne Wagner is no exception. Dr. Anne Wagner is a psychologist, therapist, researcher, and founder of Remedy Institute in Toronto. Anne has developed an understanding of herself as a bridge between worlds - between research and practice, community and academia, non-ordinary states and our daily lives, and different modalities of therapy.
Expect to hear about cutting-edge MDMA research in a truly heart-centered conversation. Anne shares about her personal history with MDMA and psychedelics, and how that work has made her a better therapist (and person).
Also, join me in welcoming Kev G (producer of the show!) to the hosting mic. Together, Anne and Kev are bringing you a conversation that is not only educational and inspiring, but also real, humble and graceful. Hang out until the end for some amazing banter around fear, fearlessness, creativity, and love.
