Author: Gabi Koyenov

Im Gabi Koyenov, a therapist and storyteller, diving into life's mysteries and the human journey. Growing up on the streets of Queens has taught me to have lots of heart and cunning. Raised by immigrant parents that valued education, when it was time to go to high school, I went to a private jewish school I was not ready for. The culture-shock made me fascinated by why people are different. I began devouring every YouTube video on the subject like a hungry lion cub. This, and working with my own high school counselor lit a fire in me. I quickly became the go to guy for anyone needing help.

Keith shares the story behind founding IPI and offers expert insight into how trauma, the nervous system, and altered states of consciousness are shaping the next frontier of healing.We dive into the use of ketamine as a legal psychedelic, explore personal and professional experiences with plant medicine, and unpack the healing potential for intergenerational trauma.

Along the way, we reflect on yeshiva culture, emotional repression, and what authentic spiritual commitment looks like.As we wrap up, we look to the future—exploring how AI and technology may intersect with therapy and human consciousness.
