In this video, Manesh Girn, PhD (UCSF, Psychedelic Neuroscientist) explores the realities of challenging psychedelic experiences: how to navigate them, what they can teach us, and strategies to reduce risks.

His channel is a valuable resource, distilling cutting-edge psychedelic research into clear, engaging insights that empower both professionals and the public to better understand how psychedelics can support healing and growth.

Alongside his perspectives, we highlight the Fireside Project, a free peer-support line offering compassionate guidance via call or text for anyone moving through a tough psychedelic journey. Learn more at firesideproject.org.
