Christina Kantzavelos is a neurodivergent, and first-generation (third culture) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), life coach, writer and chronic illness warrior.  She received both her BA and MSW from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and her MLIS from San Jose State University (SJSU).  She specializes in treating clients with chronic health conditions  (aka spoonies and medical refugees) and trauma (including medical trauma).  Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master’s thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients. His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Timothy Leary’s Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986, and currently resides in Boston with his wife and puppy, with three empty rooms from his children who have all graduated college and begun their life journeys. Learn more about Rick by listening to his Origin Story, watching his TED Talk, and watching his SSDP talk about lessons for political activism from a series of his psychedelic experiences.   In This Episode<ul><li><a href="https://www.beginwithintoday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christina’s website</a></li><li><a href="https://drruscio.com/brain-stuck-in-fight-or-flight-mode/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neural Retraining information</a></li><li><a href="https://www.constructedawareness.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Constructed Awareness</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rickdoblinphd/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rick’s Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://maps.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MAPS Website</a></li></ul> You can learn more about what I do here: The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.
