Holotropic Breathing
Andrew, like millions of listeners, love what you're doing. Regarding cyclic breathing, I recently read an interesting article in the New York Times on Holotropic Breathing. Though similar to Wim Hof's method it has significant differences and the technique can have profound results including altered states and comparisons to psychedelics. I would love it if you did a show on it or as part of a show. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/09/style/therapy-breathing-psychedelics.html
Betterhelp & Brainspotting
As a therapist, please, please, please on behalf of all therapists in the country, please stop supporting Betterhelp. They are a terrible company and exploit therapist and sell client information. There are lawsuits. I was crushed when I heard an ad and decided I had to say something. They bring down the value of every therapist to essentially compensating therapists $22.50 for 45 minute sessions. They are not a mental health company but an unethical tech company prying on vulnerable people and overcharging them on top of that. Those people are making money but I hope they lose it in the lawsuits!! Also, very interested in thoughts about brainspotting and as someone mentioned, possibly bringing on David Grand to discuss it and/or a trauma therapist to discuss how trauma is held in the body and how it is healed through brainspotting and how it ties into what you know about the eyes and brain :)
Tendinitis/osis
Interesting talk re BPC 157 etc. but that is applicable to physical trauma. I have several patients with longterm tendon pain post aromatase inhibitor use or a quinolone. Anything in the literature for this population? I have looked and find a paucity of studies. Thanks Olga de Sanctis BSc (Biochemistry) MD LMCC CCFP
