Ben also gave an honest and pragmatic evaluation about the false divide between disorders, psychedelic treatments and the various substances. Ben Sessa speak about attachment trauma and MDMA therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/6e488495-bdc4-495c-83a0-b79768410a43/Chris+Dad+Rupert+Ben.jpg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 2) : MDMA - To say thanks for our speakers and spend some time chatting with some our OEV community members who stayed back, after the event we popped round the corner to a local pub. I also got a chance to chat with Rupert Scriven's Dad (Rupert is the author of the The Art of Ecstasy and kindly provided the art for event . Chris says thanks to Rupert, his dad and Ben https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/236970ca-9dd2-474a-bfb7-6c7a9c6324f2/20230510_213334.jpg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 2) : MDMA - And to wrap up, ex community Met Police Officer Julia Ryland, chatted with Neil Woods and explained how she went in to the Police to help people but despite recognising the futility of criminalising vulnerable people, over minor drug offences, she quickly realised the culture, rewards and politics mean that more often she was doing harm rather than good. Julia Rylands and Neil Woods of LEAP UK discuss the damage of ‘The War on Drugs’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/59d062f5-85dc-4c4e-b087-a73c2c7b1ab2/20230510_205253.jpg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 2) : MDMA - If you get a chance, you really need to hear this story. It's a journey in which Akua had to first deal with her own issues and spend a lot of time re-attaching with her son, repairing their relationship before she could even begin her attempts to bring him out of the county lines operation he'd been groomed into. Akua and Jason Reed explore her story https://www.oevpartners.com/events/blog-post-title-two-fceak monthly 0.5 2023-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/2194d81b-c659-4ab3-be35-a148fdaa9b79/Diane-Headshot-2021-3.jpg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 1) Diane Goldstein Executive Director of LEAP US joined us live from California to eloquently express the urgency of finding treatments to prevent issues amongst police officers, such as problematic substance use, family breakdown and spill over violence. The discussion with Diane also exposed how the UK's binary, centralised policy-making system and lack of local democratic options are limiting reform of drug policy, compared to the US. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/32fe1639-1a33-4846-9e61-c936661292dd/WhatsApp+Image+2022-11-24+at+11.44.58.jpeg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 1) - Thanks also to Antonia Rolls for providing, through your art - humanising and moving portrayals of struggles with substance use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/02eec6b8-d2ac-499a-bb04-287196c22569/WhatsApp+Image+2022-11-24+at+11.44.56.jpeg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 1) - Simon Ruffell and Grace Blest-Hopley from Heroic Hearts added balanced and insightful perspectives on psychedelics and their potential both for PTSD therapy and for treatment of traumatic brain injury. Both made a persuasive and compassionate case to back Heroic Hearts Project UK's work in supporting Veterans and Emergency Services workers and questioned why more isn't being done already, given the scale of the issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/252aaa31-549f-4936-a0c2-aa01f31d26ff/WhatsApp+Image+2022-11-24+at+11.44.57.jpg Events - Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 1) - A massive thank you to everyone who attended Psychedelics and PTSD (Part 1) and helped make the event such a success. It was a real privilege to host, see and hear about connections made and stories shared beyond those on the stage. Immense thanks go to our speakers who all provided vital insight and powerful stories. Thanks also to Neil - pictured - for your ability to weave all the threads into a compelling narrative. People are not only being harmed, on both sides of the war of drugs, they are also being prevented from accessing potential transformative therapies. Policy needs to change. https://www.oevpartners.com/events/blog-post-title-three-mme34 monthly 0.5 2023-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/577d07cd-534d-4f0f-9a5c-c96988bb311a/IMG-20211125-WA0000.jpg Events - PSALON-1 : Ibogaine and Substance Use PSALON-1 are super grateful to Nadia Van Der Heyden of Psygen for her measured dose of realism live from BC, Canada. Like she said: ibogaine isn't some magic bullet to end drug use. But it's a valuable tool, alongside structural economic reform and better mental healthcare provision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/bd89ddaa-1469-4187-b0bc-2ff4643db87f/20211125_001947.jpg Events - PSALON-1 : Ibogaine and Substance Use - Told ya :-) The pots will be with you in January. Ranj has an order book to make any potter quake in their boots. But he does not quake. He just pots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/18f1a0a0-489a-4add-abf3-657e36148a8c/IMG-20211125-WA0015.jpg Events - PSALON-1 : Ibogaine and Substance Use - Prof Deborah Mash of DemerX : thank you for your tireless work bringing ibogaine to a wider audience. PSALON-1 offers, too, a salute for your miraculous rationalism and that whip-smart firecracker canter through a strange and wonderful story of an addiction-interrupting rootbark from the Gabon jungles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601037f1168a4b6d07b30060/e71b33fe-a4cd-43e8-8235-888ab8f5b78c/20211124_192313.jpg Events - PSALON-1 : Ibogaine and Substance Use - PSALON-1, we salute you.
