In this episode of Resilient Butterfly, we explore resilience, healing, and the many pathways available for trauma recovery. We believe there is more than one way to heal, and this conversation is about expanding possibility rather than endorsing any single approach.
Host Pam Feinberg Rivkin sits down with Dr. Chantel Thomas to discuss her personal journey into trauma, addiction, and recovery work. Dr. Thomas shares how her family background in medicine, early experiences in residential treatment environments, and deep respect for sensitive nervous systems shaped her path into clinical psychology and health psychology.
Together, we explore psychedelic assisted therapies including psilocybin, MDMA assisted therapy, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Dr. Thomas explains how these approaches are being studied, what is currently FDA approved, and why preparation, screening, informed consent, and a strong therapeutic container are essential for safety and ethical care.
The conversation also addresses trauma, PTSD, addiction, recovery, and the importance of patient empowerment, agency, and choice. We discuss the differences between infusion clinics and therapy-based models, the risks of misuse, and how these tools may support healing when used responsibly and with professional guidance.
This episode invites listeners to stay curious, ask questions, and do their own research while honoring the resilience and creativity that exist in every healing journey.
