Curious to know more?

Hear a personal account from Erica Rex ’09JRN, who draws on her memoir, Seeing What Is There: My Search for Sanity in the Psychedelic Era, to explore the psychedelic therapy movement, its complexities and its ethical pitfalls in her search for healing.

For fans of Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary, a woman’s personal journey unfolds in a historically documented and scientifically elucidated memoir of lifelong struggle to overcome CPTSD with the help of psychedelics.
