"Trauma has been used to explain every conceivable human ailment. Like any successful religion, it presents the cause of your suffering with one hand and offers the cure with the other. It has infiltrated and absorbed existing and emerging industries — first psychotherapy, then yoga, and now the burgeoning psychedelic therapy culture.Traumadelic Culture is the promotion of psychedelics as panacea (universal remedy), for the pannósos (universal ailment) of trauma.”
Brian James and Ryan delve into the complexities of trauma and the rise of “trauma culture” within the healing communities and psychedelic therapy space. They discuss the rise of Traumadelic Culture, critique the focus on childhood trauma in healing practices, and explore Brian's personal journey with Gabor Maté's teachings.

“It soon became clear to me that in the often intersecting worlds of yoga, psychedelics and therapy, there was an overwhelming emphasis on being “trauma-informed,” which is another way of saying that you subscribe to the basic precepts of trauma culture: that everyone has experienced childhood trauma to a greater or lesser degree (“Big T” trauma or “Little T” trauma); that childhood trauma is the root cause of our adult problems; and if we are able to uncover our childhood trauma we can, with the help of a trauma-informed therapist, work to process it, transform it, release it, and eventually overcome it, all in order to become the best version of our self, free from anger, addiction and other coping and defense mechanisms. In short, to become enlightened.”
That may sound like an exaggeration, but you only need to peruse the multitude of workshops, trainings, and online conferences to see for yourself how trauma-informed therapies are being touted as a universal panacea for everything from procrastination to PTSD.”
“The focus of my critique is specifically the ways in which trauma culture has captured the most recent psychedelic renaissance, which many hoped would facilitate an expansion of collective consciousness. Instead, I argue that psychedelics have been co-opted and instrumentalized in a larger neoliberal, capitalist project that aims to keep us disempowered, depoliticized and dependent on the industrial medical complex.
Trauma has been used to explain every conceivable human ailment. Like any successful religion, it presents the cause of your suffering with one hand and offers the cure with the other. It has infiltrated and absorbed existing and emerging industries — first psychotherapy, then yoga, and now the burgeoning psychedelic therapy culture.
Traumadelic Culture is the promotion of psychedelics as panacea (universal remedy), for the pannósos (universal ailment) of trauma.”
“Because the ‘traumatic’ view of early years so con- trols psychological theory of personality and its devel- opment, the focus of our rememberings and thelanguage of our personal story telling have already been infiltrated by the toxins of these theories. Our lives may be determined less by our childhood than by the way we have learned to imagine our childhoods. We are less damaged by the traumas of childhood than by the traumatic way we remember childhood as a time of unnecessary and externally caused calamities that wrongly shaped us.”
