The Path of the Wounded Healer with Dr.Alya Ahmad

What if healing isn’t just about medicine but the stories we tell ourselves—and the ones we’re ready to rewrite? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alya Ahmad to explore how our personal narratives shape our identities, our healing, and our capacity for transformation.

We dive into the emerging world of psychedelic medicine, particularly ketamine therapy, and how it’s helping people process trauma, break free from entrenched patterns, and access healing in ways once thought impossible. As psychedelics challenge the idea of 'treatment resistance' and offer a radically new approach to mental health, we discuss what it truly means to heal—mind, body, and story.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your healing journey or wondered what lies beyond conventional medicine, this episode is for you.

Dr. Simi Rahman, MD, is a physician deeply engaged in the intersection of medicine, narrative, and patient advocacy. She is passionate about holistic and compassionate approaches to healthcare, with a particular focus on trauma-informed care and the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Dr. Alya Ahmad, MD, is a physician specializing in integrative and psychedelic-assisted therapy. She is passionate about reimagining mental health care by blending cutting-edge science with the ancient wisdom of storytelling. Through her work, she is pioneering new approaches that honor the deep connection between mind, body, and personal narrative.

Together, we are reimagining what healing can be.
