Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Psilocybin & Schizophrenia — Ben’s Story
Q: What was your first reaction when you heard from Ben and what did you do next?
My initial response was that schizophrenia equals no, it's too dangerous. However, I now have a more nuanced understanding.
Psychedelic Healing, Iranian Rituals & Love | Dr. Ahoo Yara at Breaking Convention 2025
Q: For therapists of color, who are from immigrant backgrounds, who want to enter the psychedelic space, do you have any guidance?
Trust yourself. Systemically, we are up against barriers. It's very tempting to constantly feel inferior. Surround yourself with people who trust you and support each other.
Psychedelic Healing, Iranian Rituals & Love | Dr. Ahoo Yara at Breaking Convention 2025
Q: What does healing mean to you? Not just clinically, but spiritually or cosmologically?
The process of becoming or any type of awakening. Healing is can I be a compassionate portal to awaken to where am I closing myself off to love?
Psychedelic Healing, Iranian Rituals & Love | Dr. Ahoo Yara at Breaking Convention 2025
Q: How do you incorporate mind and body practices and ancestral wisdom into your psychotherapy or psychedelic work?
I do, I have a space where I go into stillness and silence, and I'm in prayer essentially in service of love, knowing that again, I'm standing behind all the masters of love sort of help guide the session.
