Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers: Can psychedelics change your personality?

Today, Steve and I had the chance to sit down and explore whether or not a psychedelic medicine can change your personality. We start off discussing the role of nature (your biology and genetic makeup) vs. nurture (your environmental and experiences) in determining personality, temperament, and behavior. We also spend some time reviewing the theories of early psychoanalysts, like Freud, Jung, and Adler. Then we review some of the relevant research that has been conducted on the topics of psychedelic therapy and its impact on personality. If you’re a psychology nerd like me and Steve, then this episode is for you :) Hope you enjoy!
