Yeah, for sure. Yeah. So I am a naturopathic doctor licensed in British Columbia. I've been practicing there for almost 10 years.[0:49] And I also am a psychedelic assisted therapist and as I call it, a trauma recovery coach. Um, so I kind of mashed together, uh, integrative psychiatry and, um, integrative mental health work with trauma-informed primary care and, uh, some psychedelic, um, assisted therapy, like prep and integration work. I don't do the actual medicine sessions because it's not in my scope of practice, um, but. I could do that if I was like working[1:19] under another like field trip or a numinous or something like that. But I get a ton of value in doing like harm reduction discussion and prep and integration. And I have a little niche of people who come to see me when they've gone to do psychedelic assisted therapy, usually with an underground therapist who wasn't super well trained and they had a bad experience.[1:38] And then they are looking for somebody to like help them sort that out. Also because a lot of psychiatrists and psychotherapists and psychologists and medical doctors don't have a whole lot of training or understanding about psychedelics and so these people sometimes come to me they're like in inpatient psych and their psychiatrist is saying like you've broken your brain and there's nothing we can do to help you and then they call me kind of like as a last-ditch effort to be like hey is my brain really broken and I get to say like no it isn't actually we can heal this and we can work through this so that's a really fun little niche that um is is developing there's like more and more need for that um and then i do some trauma recovery coaching specifically both in my practice and separately um so i get to kind of weave a whole lot of mental stuff together that's really cool that's really really really interesting i know bc has a more expanded scope than ontario when it comes to um like i think i Dr.[2:37] Ray St. Arnall about ketamine therapy and like that's in scope or like legal for therapeutic use. But yeah, how did you get into the and what maybe you can describe some really interested kind of like what the prep would be like in a in a responsibly administered sort of psychedelic session, like what kind of prep is usually involved and what's the integration like afterwards if someone's really going about it in like a.[3:04] Yeah, totally. Yeah, safe way. Yeah, so the prep work is actually done from, you know, anywhere from one to multiple, like ...
