In today's podcast I discuss why OCD is a one trick pony. This may sound comical, but in fact it is very serious. OCD always uses certainty against us, it may do this in a million different ways, but the more we realise this and don't play it's game, the better off we will be. I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.

Today’s podcast is about psychedelics and in particular ketamine. We discuss their potential for therapeutic benefits for mental health challenges such as PTSD anxiety and of course OCD. In recent times, there has been a renaissance of interest in psychedelics with many studies reportedly finding huge benefits for mental health.
With this in mind I wanted to explore the topic a little on the podcast, but I also wanted to point out that this is by no means an endorsement of these substances for OCD or for any other reason. Many of these substances are ilegal, depending on which country you reside in and they can also be potentially very dangerous, particuarly if used irresponsibly. If you are going to experiment with these substances then make sure you do so under medical supervision.
A lot of research is currently being undertaken to try to understand more about spychadelics, but it’s my personal view as of April 2023 that OCD is best overcome through traditional approaches of therapy and exposure work, doing the hard work which tends to bring the change people are looking for.
That being said I am delighted to have Christi Meyers onto the podcast to discuss psychedelics and more specifically ketamine and how they may be of help to people struggling with mental health.
Christi Myers founded Flow Integrative in 2020 with a mission to normalize psychedelic therapies for growth, symptom reduction and overall wellness for all. Christi recognizes the global mental health crisis and has a clear vision to “help the help” by providing supportive services for front-line workers and service men and women who face chronic and complex trauma in their line of work.
To aid her mission, Christi partnered with Enthea, making Flow Integrative the Flagship for the World's first benefit plan administrator working to facilitate employee psychedelic healthcare coverage.
Christi whole-heartedly believes that there is a better way to treat mental afflictions outside of traditional antidepressants or medications that act more as a temporary avoidance or dismissal of our emotions rather than a cure.
