Healing Heroic Hearts With Jesse Gould

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

The landscape for treating complex trauma is changing, and although there is extensive and promising research into the efficacy of psychedelic substances for the treatment of mental health disorders, it is not yet accessible for most.

This week, Niall is joined by Jesse Gould, a former army ranger who is helping other veterans overcome their trauma. Jesse suffered with debilitating PTSD and after exploring every traditional avenue found himself in Peru on an Ayuhuasca retreat. The experience was transformational for Jesse. He returned home to set up the Heroic Hearts Project, with a mission to help as many US veterans as possible overcome PTSD and other military trauma by building a community that provides them with safe and supervised access to psychedelic programs, professional coaching, and ongoing community support.
