![]() ![]() finally and my biggest frustration with this documentary is the feeling someone has turned the whole thing about Gabor Mate into a personality worshipping business and is trying to get as much momentum as possible. Nothing wrong with psychdelic therapy, it is a worthy endeavour but i thought it would have been more honest to say how long after the session was the interview with the patient. I have done a number of psychedelic therapy sessions and am well aware of how one can feel permanently healed during the afterglow phase but after a few weeks or months a lot of the feeling of being healed can vanish. The substance used is not explained and while i did enjoy seeing how Gabor runs the session, i thought interviewing the patient after the session and how he feels good now also felt oversold. So if it's not trauma work being done bur a mock session, what is the point of it? Do people benefit by from those type of 'shows' about trauma? -the part with someone doing some kind of psychedelic therapy session in with Gabor Mate. I can't imagine anyone being comfortable talking like that in front of an audience and making sure they talk in a microphone and keep the audience entertained with witty comments while doing trauma work. I looked like some typical personal development guru doing these big workshop events with a large audience and I can't imagine how this can provide any of the needed intimate and safe space needed to do trauma work. ![]() the parts where you see him doing some kind of express therapy to some people in front of an audience, it made me cringe. I mean, seeing him surrounded with groups of photogenic women in awe in front of him. overall the documentary felt like a big Gabor Mate worshipping session rather than being about trauma which is a shame in my opinion and was even unerving at times. some of the talks of Gabor Mate about trauma and how we are living in a society that traumatizes people and fails to help those who are traumatized The bad: the interviews with (ex)addicts and (ex)homeless people where they talk about their lives in a trauma informed way There is lots to unpack from 3 seasons of this series, so get on your best binge-watching onesie and butter up the popcorn!Ĭheck our this psychedelic series on Rotten Tomatoes Here.-the parts where prisoners are talking about their own traumas and doing some kind of group therapy Other episodes include smoking 5-MeO-DMT in the Sonoran desert under the supervision of a shaman and speaking with Amanda Feilding about how she helped to fund the very first neuroimaging study of LSD.
