Dr.Brian Hawkins: Military service, Trauma healing and Kambo psychedelic medicine

Documentary: www.peakingdocumentary.com

What happens when military service, medicine, trauma healing, and psychedelics intersect?

In this episode of Trauma, Psychedelics & Buddhism, I sit down with Dr. Brian Hawkins—an eight-year Army veteran and former Green Beret, board-certified emergency medicine physician, and practitioner exploring integrative approaches to healing.

Brian is also a central subject in the new film Peaking: Psychedelics and the Pursuit of Happiness @peakingdocumentary, which explores personal journeys with all major psychedelics and alternative pathways toward healing and well-being by taking viewers inside dosing rooms for extremely rare looks at the remarkable power, emotion, and speed of psychedelic healing in action.

In our conversation, Brian shares that some of the deepest hardship he has carried originated not in his military experiences, but much earlier in childhood. We explore developmental trauma, resilience, Kambo, integrative medicine, and the many ways our histories shape both who we become and how we heal.

It’s a fascinating conversation about trauma, transformation, and the different paths we take in the pursuit of healing.

🎬 Look for Dr. Brian Hawkins in Peaking: Psychedelics and the Pursuit of Happiness, premiering in Portland, Oregon at @cinema21_portland + more cities on September 24th. Visit peakingdocumentary.com for showtimes.
