In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie sits down with Dr. Lisa Black, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Grove Integrative Psychology Institute and Sylvie Integrative Health, to unpack what integrative, whole-person healing really looks like.

Together, they explore how ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can support healing for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, and why ketamine isn’t “magic” on its own — the real transformation happens when insight is paired with the right therapy tools and behavioral change. Dr. Black explains how ketamine can quiet fear-based “survival brain” responses (like an overactive amygdala), boost neuroplasticity, and help clients access new perspectives faster — especially when combined with modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), neurofeedback, and integrative care.

You’ll also hear:

  • Why balance + boredom matter for mental health (and creativity)
  • How brainwaves connect to regulation, focus, and burnout
  • Why ketamine can help create new pathways — but your environment and habits determine if they last
  • What Dr. Black’s approach looks like (including at-home low-dose ketamine paired with therapy)
  • Why there’s no bypassing healing — and how community changes as you do
