Ep 74 — Brooke Stott, LCSW — Psychedelics, Trauma, and Integration
Friday, 17 April, 2026
In this episode, we sit down with clinician and researcher Brooke Stott, who is working at the intersection of trauma, identity, and psychedelic-assisted therapy to explore both the personal and professional dimensions of psychedelics. Brooke explores her own lived experience with psychedelics and reflects on how these experiences have shaped her sense of self and work. We discuss the current landscape of psychedelic research, with a particular focus on emerging work with trans and gender-expansive communities. The conversation highlights both the promise of these treatments, especially in addressing trauma, shame, and disconnection, as well as the importance of culturally competent, affirming care within this space.We also explore what it actually means to “integrate” psychedelic experiences into everyday life. Rather than viewing psychedelics as a quick fix, our guest emphasizes the ongoing, often nuanced process of making meaning, building insight, and creating sustainable change.
