#62: Dick Russell: The Bridge Between Schizophrenia and Shamanism

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Cody Blue and Tanya Dahl sit down with New York Times bestselling author Dick Russell, writer of 16 mind-expanding books spanning topics like UFOs, shamanism, the JFK assassination, archetypal psychology, ecological collapse, and deep-rooted corruption. Dick opens up about his personal journey as the father of a son diagnosed with schizophrenia, and how his frustration with the limitations of Western psychiatry led him into the world of shamanic healing and indigenous wisdom traditions. He explores the deep and often overlooked connections between schizophrenia and shamanism, sharing stories from his decades of immersive research and spiritual seeking. Dick also offers a moving glimpse into his upcoming book Bridges, chronicling his unlikely and transformative bond with Romeo Keys, a teenage prodigy from the inner city whose extraordinary insight and presence became a spiritual compass, not only helping to heal Dick, but reshaping his connection with his son.
