What to Do After Your Client Uses Psychedelics
Most clinicians were never trained for this moment. Now it’s happening in session. A client mentions a recent psilocybin experience through Oregon’s legal services. Another discloses they’ve been using ketamine recreationally, and something shifted.

The Middleman’s Toll: My War Against the Venture Capital Siege on Mental Health
The Silicon Valley land grab for the human soul didn't happen overnight. It was a slow, calculated siege, masked by the friendly blue-and-white interfaces of platforms promising to "democratize" mental health.
