His grandmother survived Auschwitz. His grandfather was a Nazi slave soldier. By the time Michael was 12, he was self-medicating with drugs. By 15, he was having mystical experiences in the forest. By 48, he had become a Buddhist monk, a clinical psychologist, a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand, and the author of Truth Medicine: Healing and Living Authentically Through Psychedelic Psychotherapy. This is a conversation about what it actually takes to heal. Not the shortcut version. The real version. Michael and Brett go deep on intergenerational trauma and why we carry our ancestors' wounds in our bodies, the difference between using psychedelic medicine recreationally and using it as a doorway into serious inner work, the sister's letter that cracked Michael open at 19, and why true transformation requires community, not just ceremony. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough work, or whether the work is even worth it, this episode is for you. Truth Medicine is available wherever books are sold.","meta_description":"Michael Shapiro grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust. His grandmother survived Auschwitz.
