These skills would be valuable in a psychedelic therapy setting for tasks such as ensuring patient safety during sessions, handling financial transactions, maintaining a clean and safe work environment, using technology for data management and analysis, effectively managing workload, and collaborating with a team of therapists. My experience as a military brat would also demonstrate my adaptability and cultural awareness, which could be helpful in working with diverse patient populations.
Pharmaceuticals are destroying our country. According to the CDC, there are 2.6 deaths per 100,000 standard population. Ive had friends or known friends who have killed themselves, got addicted, or are dependent on man-made chemical drugs. With these pharmaceutical drugs, pharmaceutical organizations are just healing patients, not curing them. In most cases, the patient stays on their prescribed drug their whole lives sometimes and is never really cured; they just pay a subscription to feel good. So whats the solution? Well, it started with my interest in the origins of humanity. I took a few anthropology classes at CU Boulder and came across psychedelic substances being used in almost every single ancient society; they didn't just use them literally; they used them for spiritual, and medicinal purposes. I went down this rabbit hole of psychedelics and ended up doing a couple papers on how psychedelics were the foundation of the Mayan religion as well as the medicinal properties explained by neuroscientist Roland Griffith. Why aren't we doing more research on these substances and their medicinal properties, especially with microdosing. I believe this is going to change the worlds perspective on depression, addiction, anxiety, and PTSD.
