It's a revolutionary time in mental health…we're seeing the paradigms of treatment and healing shift significantly. With the re-emergence of psychedelic-assisted healing and transformation (indigenous healing tools reintegrating into our society), we're seeing what's possible when it comes to truly addressing psycho-emotional conditions like stress, anxiety and depression ~ epidemics in our modern world. In this episode, I drop in with Ellen Vora, MD, a change-maker in the psychiatry and wellness fields. I first met Ellen at the mindbodygreen conference in Arizona years back. Upon experiencing her work, my response was, Hellll yes! This is the psychiatrist I've been waiting for, one I would feel inspired to have working with my clients. We've been connected ever since, and I've followed her expanding work. Ellen is an MD, board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist and yoga teacher, and she is the author of the bestselling book The Anatomy of Anxiety. She received her B.A. from Yale and her M.D. from Columbia. Dr. Vora takes a functional medicine approach to mental health, considering the whole person and addressing the problem at the root rather than reflexively prescribing medication to suppress symptoms. THIS is the psychiatric approach we need for collective healing on this planet. She is a change-maker and revolutionary medical practitioner for our modern times.
