Ben was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his twenties. Decades on, with careful therapeutic work and low-dose psilocybin sessions, he’s rebuilt life, reduced medication and learnt to work with his guide voice. A candid, safety-first conversation with Julian Vane on therapy, integration and hope. (Trigger warning: discussion of psychosis & voices.)

Ben — diagnosed with schizophrenia in his 20s — describes long, lived experience of voices and psychosis; how careful therapeutic work with Julian, low-dose psilocybin journeys and integration helped him reduce medication, build a working relationship with his “guide voice,” and reclaim life. The episode explores safety, screening, symbolic work, and the ethics/nuance of psychedelic therapy for people with psych diagnoses.
