First Responder Story

PS2025

Rob Poynter

After 14 years in law enforcement, I was silently battling PTS, depression and anxiety. Traditional solutions weren’t working — until I experienced a breakthrough through psychedelic-assisted healing with the S.I.R.E.N. Project. In this talk, I share how plant medicine helped me reconnect with myself, break the cycle of trauma, and find new purpose. This is a raw, honest look at what healing can look like for first responders.
