If there wasn’t an internet blackout in Sudan right now, we would be seeing the worst images and video footage. Women, men and children are being gang raped. People are being slaughtered. Bodies are being thrown into the Nile River to cover up the evidence. The resilient people of Sudan are still standing strong. Please spread awareness of this injustice.
Please tune for this! You have probably heard of the use of MDMA and it’s rise to help treat those who suffer from PTSD. Now is your chance to learn more. This Sunday, June 16th, at 9 am, 102.3 WHIV FM, Living Well in the Big Easy will be interviewing psychologist Dr. Mark Skellie, who is involved in researching the use of MDMA along with psychotherapy to heal Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dr. Mark Skellie is a clinical psychologist and researcher with the the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) organization. This FDA-approved research is happening now in New Orleans as well as other research sites across the country. Dr. Skellie will discuss the process of the treatment and preliminary outcomes in patients who have severe PTSD. He will also be discussing another upcoming MAPS study assessing psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to treat depression. MAPS is currently seeking participants for this study who have severe and specific PTSD without other complicating medical or psychological factors. Dr. Skellie will be accompanied by Lori Tipton, a local New Orleanian and patient in the study who was healed of severe PTSD with use of this therapy. Lori Tipton is an author, playwright, public speaker, and advocate for the use of psychedelics in the field of mental health. She is currently completing a book, which chronicles her journey of healing as a participant in the MAPS-funded FDA trial to treat PTSD with MDMA. Lori has been interviewed by NPR, CBC and ABC news as well as the Gambit Weekly and Psychedelic.Support.com. She has spoken publicly at her alma mater Tulane University, the New Orleans Psychedelic Society and private events along with MAPS founder Rick Doblin. She has been featured on the podcasts “Conscious Living Network,” “It’s New Orleans,” “LA Talk Radio” and “Psychedelics Today.” Her work is published online at both primemind.com and medium.com. She is one of three subjects of the upcoming feature-length documentary about MDMA psychotherapy by Directors Caleb Hellerman and Micha Peled. Lori currently serves as Executive Director of the Psychedelic Society of New Orleans where she happily lives & co-parents her son wit
