Ep 58: Transforming Trauma with Modern Psychiatry and Psychedelics with Dr. Will Siu

The Beautiful Grit

In this week's powerful episode Gwen is interviewing Dr. Will Siu, a holistic psychiatrist, speaker, writer, educator. Dr. Will and Gwen discuss the topics of psychedelics, healing, and self discovery. In the episode, Dr. Will shares his professional and personal experience with seeking happiness and fulfillment through academic and professional success which left him feeling compartmentalized and fractioned from his true self. Through the learnings of his own suffering, Dr. Will supports others in not only healing trauma, but transforming trauma. Dr. Will shows us how to use our human experience as one of death and rebirth, and how the use of psychedelics can be healing and expansive versus medicating our human experience with prescription drugs.
