  • Sporulation, Psychedelics, and Healthcare with Melissa Errey and Voytek Bereza

    Sporulation, Psychedelics, and Healthcare with Melissa Errey and Voytek Bereza
    Apr 9 2024
    In 2023, Australia became the first country in the world to legalise the use of psychedelics to treat PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. Welcome to Episode #31 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast. Sporulation, Psychedelics and Healthcare. In this episode of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast, I chat with Melissa Errey, founder of Sporulation Art Exhibition and healthcare professional, and Voytek Bereza, a Neuropsychopharmacist Prescriber and founder of The Transparent Company. In this episode: About the Sporulation Art Exhibition (23 April 2024 to 5 May 2024)The role of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for mental health conditionsIntrospection, Intuition and psychedelicsPsychedelic experiences during a trip and percolation from unconscious to the conscious mindEmergence of clinical research trials and harm minimisation July 1st 2023 is when Australia became the first country in the world to legalise the use of psychedelics to treat some mental health conditions. From July 1st 2023 psychiatrists were authorised to prescribe products containing 3,4‑methylenedioxy‑methamphetamine (MDMA) or psilocybin for use in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy to treat specific mental health conditions. MDMA may be prescribed for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Psilocybin may be prescribed for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). For these specific uses, psilocybin and MDMA have been listed as Schedule 8 (Controlled Drugs) medicines in the Poisons Standard. To be able to prescribe MDMA or psilocybin for these conditions, a psychiatrist must be an Authorised Prescriber (AP) under the TGA’s Authorised Prescriber scheme. Before seeking approval to be an AP, the psychiatrist must first obtain approval from a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). It was quite serendipitous that I was to meet Melissa Errey in October 2023, only three months later. It’s turns out, Melissa a health professional by day, and an artist by night was already part of a community of people from all walks of life, who were exploring and discussing the role of psychedelics in healthcare and in medicine.

  • Let's Talk About Sex with Saul Isbister

    Let's Talk About Sex with Saul Isbister
    Mar 12 2024

    Content Warning: Before we begin, we want to let you know that this episode contains discussions about the sensitive topic of sexual abuse. Please prioritise your health and well-being, and if this is an episode you choose to skip, we’ll see you at the next one.

    Welcome to episode 30 of The Intelligent Rebellion Podcast: Let's Talk About Sex. Our guest is Saul Isbister, President of Touching Base Inc A volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, developed out of the need to assist people with disability and sex workers to connect with each other, focusing on access, discrimination, human rights and legal issues and the attitudinal barriers that these two marginalised communities can face.

    Since episode 19 when Anjelo Ratnachandra and I touched on the subject of intimacy, sex, and chronic pain, I’ve continued to wonder and be curious about the topic of intimacy and sex, particularly in the personal injury and disability space. Healthcare professionals and rehab people are always going on about holistic care, and a biopsychosocial approach, and, a part of that is acknowledging that sexual and physical intimacy are at the core to the human experience.

    In this episode, Saul and Rhea discuss:

    • Touching Base Inc, its origin story, vision, mission, and values.
    • What are sex work services, and how people can access the service.
    • The challenges Touching Base face in achieving their mission.
    • What Saul is hopeful and optimistic about.
