Looks MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD is closer to becoming a reality. Despite the current administration’s negative view of the mental health system, there is a lot of interesting, groundbreaking research that has been ongoing, but is at risk of being halted. Hopefully, things are rectified, so patients can get the care that they need.

Client Challenge

The recent events during the US political election continue to show that fear mongering, propaganda, and outright hatred are highly destructive and often end up destroying the perpetrators. No one benefits when politicians intentionally stir up discontent, confusion, and paranoia.

I hope Julian Assange’s release truly revives the conversation about how we can protect freedom of press and whistleblowers. Sometimes holding the government accountable requires exposing its secrets. Individuals deserve to know when their governments are violating human rights or not working in their best interests. Individuals also have the right to confront their governments about those issues and demand change. We have to work hard to ensure that the events surrounding Julian Assange (and Edward Snowden) do not just become a footnote history but actually lead to new policies/laws that protect individuals who speak out their governments. #freepress #freespeech #humanrights #JulianAssange #EdwardSnowden

I’ll be in NYC next week. Any #nostriches have any recommendations for must try restaurants while I’m there? #plebchain

This is my dream home or at least a version inspired by the design. Love the all the windows and how it’s surrounded by nature.
