I sit down with Lauren Taus, a licensed psychotherapist practicing Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in Los Angeles, California. Lauren, who is dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey back to themselves, shares her unique approach of integrating modern science and ancient wisdom to foster personal transformation and systemic change.

During our conversation, we delve into the world of psychedelic therapy, exploring its potential to revolutionize mental health treatment. We discuss the limitations of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), emphasizing the importance of understanding individuals within their environmental contexts rather than isolating symptoms.

Lauren also explains the concept of family systems in psychotherapy, highlighting how psychoactive substances can influence these systems and facilitate deeper healing. We touch on the vital process of learning to parent ourselves, a theme central to Lauren's therapeutic practice.
