The Psychedelic Report

Dr. Dave Rabin sits down with Bizzie Gold—author of Your Brain Is a Filthy Liar—to explore how psychedelics and brain pattern mapping reveal the stories we tell ourselves. From her first psilocybin trip at 13 that sparked radical empathy to her work on breaking cycles of self-deception, Bizzie shares how childhood inputs shape lifelong patterns of anxiety, control, and personality disorders.

Together they dive into parenting, fear of death, and the healing potential of psychedelic medicine, showing how micro-moments of awareness can rewrite entire narratives that have governed our entire lives.

🌿 “Self-deception isn’t malice—it’s protection. But it’s also a prison we can escape.”
