Back from the Abyss: Psychiatry in Stories

Reconstructing the narrative-- Trauma, dissociation, psychedelics, and working in the negative transference

Craig Heacock MD Season 6 Episode 4

Kate lived for many years in a hazy and numbing dialectic, thinking that her life was “perfect”, but also having a vague and gnawing sense that just under the surface something was terribly wrong.  This is a story of forgetting and remembering,  a story of finding a therapist who was willing and able to sit through years of hateful negative transference and let Kate work through her parent-child wounds. And finally this is a story of MDMA and psilocybin helping someone move forward through the minefield of trauma.
