When the nervous system holds the story, healing has to start deeper than words. In this episode of The Other Side of the Call, our hosts sit down in studio with Brittnee Stewart, psychotherapist and co-founder of Spear Wellness in Kingston, Ontario – a multi-disciplinary clinic offering trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, and emerging psychedelic-assisted treatments.
Together, they explore how psychedelics, when used ethically and clinically, may help bridge the gap between science and spirituality in trauma recovery. Brittnee explains how EMDR and psychedelic-assisted modalities can rewire the brain’s relationship to painful memories and open a path o sustainable post-traumatic growth.
From first responders carrying invisible wounds to civilians navigating chronic stress, Brittnee shares why she believes the future of mental health lies in integration care – where psychotherapy, somatic work, and medical collaboration meet.
This conversation is both hopeful and grounded, illuminating a new era of healing that doesn’t dismiss the pain, but rather transforms it.
