#020: Healing From CPTSD Through Ayahuasca-Based Psychedelic Psychotherapy | Elle Rochelle

Elle Rochelle was at a low point in life, depressed and drinking heavily when she attended a stand-up comedy show in Brooklyn and heard a comedian talking about ayahuasca. When she got home she googled ayahuasca. The experience sounded terrifying but also like it might be exactly what she needed. After an initial two ceremonies in upstate New York, Elle found a shaman in Brooklyn she liked and began working with. Elle participated in over 50 ayahuasca ceremonies. She discusses traumas that surfaced during her ceremonies and describes how she worked closely with her therapist to work through and heal from those traumas.
