Former UFC bantamweight women’s champion Miesha Tate recently shared a psychological breakthrough she experienced while experimenting with psychedelics.
While psychedelic-assisted therapy is still illegal on a federal level in the United States, recent research has suggested that the use of psychedelics has proven beneficial for those suffering from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
During an interview with psychiatry and neuroscience expert Dr. Jonathan Edwards, Tate shared her own experience with psychedelics and how the treatment helped her become more one with herself.
“My friends were doing this more and and people were having great stories of how they came out on the other side of this better and I thought okay well I’m not going to a rave and eat mushrooms this is not, my intention is actually to like sit in my backyard and try to become more one with myself,” Tate said.
