In this powerful episode of The Evolving Man Podcast, I speak with Professor Dr. Paul Miller — consultant psychiatrist, EMDR trainer, and pioneer in the use of psychedelic-assisted therapy for trauma.

We explore Dr. Miller's remarkable journey through psychiatry, from the early days of surgical training to becoming a leading voice in trauma-informed care. He shares eye-opening insights into how trauma shapes the brain, why traditional psychiatric models often fall short, and how EMDR and psychedelics are offering new hope for people with PTSD, complex trauma, and even schizophrenia.

Dr. Miller also opens up about his own lived experience — of loss, betrayal, and healing — and why he believes authentic therapeutic relationships and community are at the heart of recovery.

In this episode, we cover:

Dr. Miller’s path from surgery to psychiatry
The limitations of purely biological models of mental illness
EMDR and how it transforms trauma recovery
Complex PTSD and the role of attachment, especially in early life
His groundbreaking work with psychedelic medicines (MDMC, ketamine, psilocybin)
The sacred art of listening and container-building in therapy
Why trauma-informed care must replace the outdated “broken brain” narrative
The impact of boarding schools, shame, and developmental trauma

Whether you’re a therapist, someone on your own healing journey, or simply trauma-curious, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and grounded in hope.
