NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk as a substitute for mental health advice. This talk only represents the speaker's personal spiritual views and understanding of healing. Experiments discussed in this talk should not be performed outside of accredited research settings. Research around psychedelics and mental health remains an emerging field field of study. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...

Peter addresses the topic of hyper-masculinity and toxic masculinity in society that leads to loneliness in men. He calls for more balanced masculine energy as a way to address the pandemic of loneliness and allow men to be vulnerable and connect with each other. Peter is a psychotherapist (licensed professional counselor) specializing in authenticity, relationships and trauma. He is also a poet, an eating psychology coach, and a sponsored triathlete. Peter has a warm, engaging presence. In our interview with Peter, he was passionate about bridging the stigma around mental health, especially for men. He brought up the idea of there not really being a boy to man transition marked within our society, as there is with females. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
