#44 - Eamon Armstrong: Rewiring Desire with Ibogaine

What if the key to healing wasn’t just in a single experience, but in a lifetime of exploration? On this episode of Ibogaine Uncovered, producer Eamon Armstrong takes us inside his deeply personal journey with Ibogaine. From a decade of psychedelic healing to his personal story of addiction, fantasy, and dissociation, Eamon shares how this experience at Beond has reshaped his understanding of healing, pleasure, and presence.

On the show, Eamon discusses cognitive enhancement and how Ibogaine has helped him shift from deep psychological exploration to refining daily habits. He opens up about his struggles with addiction—not to substances, but to sexual fantasy and dissociation—and how his healing journey has transformed his relationship with pleasure and intimacy. The conversation delves into the neuroscience of addiction, the connection between sex and substance abuse, and why Ibogaine may be an important tool for treating compulsive behaviors. Eamon also shares a profound encounter with another guest at Beond, highlighting the universal nature of the father wound in masculinity.

Eamon Armstrong is a writer, speaker, and the producer of Ibogaine Uncovered. He also hosts Life is a Festival, The Psychedelic Therapy Podcast, and You Like It, exploring themes of healing, consciousness, and personal transformation. With a background in festival culture, masculinity, and psychedelic therapy, Eamon’s work is dedicated to breaking stigmas and fostering authentic conversations around mental health, addiction, and growth. His upcoming book dives into his own healing journey, exploring sex addiction, fantasy, and the role of psychedelics in reclaiming masculinity.
