About The Episode 

Can the art of psychedelic integration help us in consciously facing and navigating the collective trauma arising from current global conflicts, notably the situation in the Middle East?

This episode of The Psyched Soul Podcast features an in-depth conversation with Dr. Ido Cohen that explores the complexities of current global events and delves into the psychological patterns of victimhood, perpetrator dynamics, and collective trauma bonding.
