⁩A majority of victims “freeze” in response to sexual assault. I spent over a year trying to understand what this means and why we are failing victims by not understanding it. In this week’s cover story for ⁦⁦⁦@NYTmag⁩ #ifroze #metoo nytimes.com/2023/08/22/mag…

Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for eating disorders, with @MegJSpriggs, @N_Gukasyan, @DrAdeleLafrance, @schaffles, and Michael Mithoefer @MAPS. neo.life/2022/02/psyche… #EatingDisorders

@Apostolides_M @MegJSpriggs @N_Gukasyan @DrAdeleLafrance @schaffles @MAPS Thanks for your thoughtful & insightful article.
