Making Sense of Suffering: Sexual Addiction
Making Sense of Suffering: Sexual Addiction with Mohan Nair, M.D.
These lectures were given by Dr. Mohan Nair between 1987 and 1992 to provide guidance and self-help for survivors of trauma at a time of progressively decreasing resources for psychiatric care orchestrated by a profit driven healthcare system, controlled by hospital corporations, and by insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
Dr. Nair sought to bring to awareness that trauma survivors were frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated with ineffective therapy and body and brain damaging medications. Dr. Nair offers a safer and more effective treatment for mental and physical anguish that is rooted in trauma. There is now growing acceptance for the kind of approaches endorsed by Dr. Nair for treating trauma with the use of ketamine and psychedelics/empathogens such as Psilocybin, MDMA and LSD.
