    • ONE FAMILY'S RECOVERY JOURNEY

      ONE FAMILY'S RECOVERY JOURNEY
      Nov 9 2021
      The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says that the alcoholic is like a tornado roaring his way through the lives of others. Hearts are broken. Sweet relationships are dead. Affections have been uprooted. Selfish and inconsiderate habits have kept the home in turmoil. We do a better job of treating people with addictions than the family members. The person with the addiction often receives residential or outpatient treatment, individual therapy, referral to community support. But what about the people who love the person with the addiction? What about the children? Claudia Black, world renowned author of It Will Never Happen to Me and My Dad Loves Me, My Dad has a Disease says, No one deserves to operate from a place of fear and shame. We deserve far greater options. This podcast follows one woman's brave journey of living with her husband's alcoholism for years. Rosemary was married with 3 children when her husband began to exhibit signs of alcoholism. She describes encounters with the police, hiding in the basement with her young son, and years of verbal abuse. My kids don't remember him sober. She recounts these lost years with a sense of unreality, familiar to trauma survivors and wonders why she tolerated unacceptable behavior for so long. She describes the chaos and anxiety, the denial, and the traumatic wounding that happens within the alcoholic home, as well as the devastation that follows each relapse. Rosemary is brave and vulnerable as she shares what motivated her to take her three children and leave the alcoholic home. This is a story of a mother's love for her children and a desire to protect them. She shares how breaking the silence, supportive friends and Alanon helped her develop a strong, independent sense of self. She recounts a new sense of freedom and hope for the future, for herself and her children.

    • MDMA-ASSISTED THERAPY FOR PTSD

      MDMA-ASSISTED THERAPY FOR PTSD
      Oct 26 2021
      Charlotte Jackson, MA, is a therapist and supervisor in the Multi-Disciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) Phase III clinical trials researching MDMA assisted therapy for individuals with severe PTSD. Charlotte describes how PTSD impacts the brain and emotional life of afflicted individuals. Charlotte offers a brief overview of the early psychedelic research and how MAPS has built on this. She speaks to the known mechanisms of MDMA and also the known potency and purity of the MAPS medication vs. street drugs. She shares the exciting results of the MAPS study published in the journal Nature Medicine in May 2021, showing that MDMA-assisted therapy represents a potential breakthrough treatment for severe PTSD. Charlotte Jackson shares the characteristics of the study participants, average duration of PTSD, how the study defined remission and common experiences of the participants following experiential sessions. How does an experience with the study drug compare to an experience of social use? This study included people with serious comorbidity like substance use disorders, suicidality, depression, dissociation and childhood trauma. What were the findings with this very difficult-to-treat population? We discuss people's resistance surrounding the use of psychedelics to treat psychiatric conditions. Charlotte shares her experience with psilocybin-assisted therapy with terminally ill patients and her hopes to expand access to individuals with substance use disorders. Charlotte Jackson tells listeners how to contact MAPS if they are interested in participating in a study and outlines future areas of study for MDMA-assisted therapy.
