New film explores use of psychedelics to treat combat PTSD

Episode 306 | 7m 11s

A new documentary, “In Waves and War,” follows a group of former Navy SEALs as they find healing through an unconventional tool: guided psychedelic therapy. Ali Rogin speaks with the film’s director and one of the Navy SEALs featured for more.
