In this powerful episode, Michael Unbroken sits down with Justin Townsend, co-founder of MycoMeditations, to explore the evolving landscape of psychedelic-assisted therapy and trauma healing.
With more access than ever to healing tools—AI, books, therapy, and beyond—have we overlooked one of humanity’s oldest medicines?
Together, Michael and Justin unpack the history of psilocybin, from the groundbreaking work of R. Gordon Wasson and María Sabina to the modern clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University that reignited scientific interest in psychedelic treatment.
This conversation goes far beyond the stereotypes of “party drugs” and hippie culture. Justin shares how psilocybin-assisted therapy is being used to address deep-rooted trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety—especially when traditional treatments like SSRIs and talk therapy fall short. He explains the science behind the default mode network, the power of emotional breakthroughs, and why mystical experiences often correlate with long-term healing outcomes.
Michael also opens up about his own transformative psychedelic experiences—from deep childhood healing to life-changing synchronicities—and how confronting fear, surrendering control, and setting clear intentions reshaped his life and work.
You’ll learn:
* Why safety, set, and setting are everything
* How psilocybin compares to traditional psychiatric medications
* What modern, trauma-informed psychedelic therapy actually looks like
* Why integration—not just the experience—is the key to lasting change
