The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs today announced a new clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylenedioxymethamphetamine-assisted therapy, or MDMA-assisted therapy, for the treatment of severe mental health disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorder.

“We need an all-of-the-above strategy when it comes to improving mental health treatments, and under President Trump, that’s exactly what VA is working to deliver,” said VA Secretary Doug Collins. “This trial represents an important step in safely evaluating new approaches and innovations to treat Veterans with severe mental health conditions.”

Your vagus nerve is constantly listening: It serves as a vital communication pathway between the brain and body—helping regulate heart rate, digestion, inflammation, stress responses, emotional regulation, and our capacity for connection.

The vagus nerve isn’t just about physiology. It’s deeply connected to how we experience safety, belonging, and relationship. Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, we begin to understand that our nervous systems are always asking one essential question: “Am I safe enough to connect?”

This diagram offers a glimpse into the remarkable reach of the vagus nerve throughout the body—and why understanding it can transform the way we think about health, healing, and human behavior.

Connection to earth is one of the ways I stay grounded.
She is the ultimate mother.
By using eco friendly practices in my home I uphold this value of respecting her.
By tapping into her spiritual and energetic guidance in my work I honor her.
She is sacred, my clients are part of her and so am I.

Happy Earth Day Mama 🌍 💕

In the year 2000 I wrote my first college paper on L*D and therapy….
When I got trained a few years ago by MAPS and started doing psychedelic work it felt full circle.
Happy Bicycle Day!
