Why does a fear from when you were six still decide how close you let people get?

Dr. Jeff McNairy explains how ayahuasca reaches the fear your brain stored away in childhood, and why you can release it even when you can't remember where it came from. He spent five years treating one patient with everything his training gave him. Then he watched plant medicine change that man, got on a plane, and met his own scared six-year-old self in ceremony.

What you'll learn:

  • How ayahuasca connects stored fear in the amygdala to awareness
  • Why a vision isn't a memory, and what matters more
  • The empath pattern that floods people in their late 30s
  • Who should never drink ayahuasca, and why the vine matters


Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H., is Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia in Costa Rica and former director of Passages Malibu. He's spent more than 25 years working with trauma, addiction and acute mental health, first in psychiatric hospitals and rehab, and now alongside the shamanic tradition.
