Originally Published 2 years ago — by Insider
Ryan Roberts, a Marine Corps combat veteran, shares his journey of healing from PTSD and moral injury through psychedelic therapy. After experiencing traumatic events during his deployments, traditional mental health treatments did not provide relief. However, after discovering the concept of moral injury and exploring non-Western healing approaches, Roberts decided to try ibogaine, a psychoactive medicine used in traditional African medicine. The psychedelic treatment helped him process his trauma and reconnect with his emotions. Two years later, Roberts' relationship with his family has significantly improved, and he advocates for more veterans to have access to psychedelic medicine as an option for healing.
