45 - Rachel Yehuda PhD - Using MDMA to understand Holocaust-related generational trauma.

Podcast episode cover image

Neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda speaks with Anne about how the Holocaust, famine, and other catastrophic experiences can affect our DNA. And how MDMA therapy might be able to change that. The director of the Center for Psychedelic Psychotherapy and Trauma Research at Mount Sinai is an important woman, and will be even more important in the years to come. She has studied the children of Holocaust survivors and of pregnant women who survived the 9/11 attacks.


How is it possible that children or grandchildren of traumatized parents struggle with anxiety and depression but not the parents themselves? And what tools do we need to re-story our past?
