Will Hall Blows the Whistle

In the recorded interview above (37 minutes) Will names particular people and organizations and recounts specific stories, including some of his own experience of being abused by trainers of prospective guides in psychedelic-assisted therapy. IMHU is very much appreciative of Will's courage to disclose some of his story for this interview. The overall message is this: there is a shadow side to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy that we need to perceive and attend to alongside the enormously positive potential it has when done responsibly.
