For years, therapists and researchers have explored how psychedelics, paired with carefully guided counseling, can help people break free from behavioral patterns that have held them back.

In the new documentary More Than Medicine, filmmakers Kerthy Fix and Paul Kloss follow therapists and patients for nearly a decade as they explore the promise, controversy, and impact of psychedelic therapy.

But this emerging movement faces significant challenges, including the FDA's 2024 rejection of an application for MDMA-assisted therapy.

So what did Kerthy and Paul discover after eight years of documenting this evolving movement? And what might the future of mental healthcare look like?

Today, Kerthy Fix and Paul Kloss join us to talk about More Than Medicine, what they witnessed while making the film, and why they believe psychedelic therapy is a revolution in healing.
