Episode 5: Psychedelic Assisted Therapy

There are problems that affect so many and yet so few talk about them. Which is why R. Efrem Goldberg and Moshe Yachnes bring you OUT OF THE SHADOWS: A Jewish Approach to Mental Health. Rabbi Goldberg and Moshe speak to leaders in the field and discuss contemporary challenges to help us better understand mental health and those who are struggling with it. 

This month’s topic: Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. 

On this episode we are joined by: Jacob L. Freedman, MD (https://drjacoblfreedman.com), a board-certified psychiatrist practicing medicine in both The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and The State of Israel where he maintains a private practice in Jerusalem 

And Ari D, a humble individual who shares his story of significant traumas, the consequences of those traumas that he lived with, and his ongoing journey of healing and self discovery. Throughout his journey Ari has experienced many different modalities of therapy and psychedelic therapy and its tools has positively impacted his mental health. There are sensitive parts to his story and if anyone is interested to learn more, Ari is available to share with those who are seeking healing of their own. We hope you find this episode meaningful and helpful. And be sure to check out the show notes for further resources.
