Kevin Colley on Career Ending Injury and His Path to Recovery Through Psychedelic-Therapy

Kevin Colley, a former professional hockey player with over a decade of experience, including a stint with the NHL's New York Islanders, embarked on a profound journey earlier this year. Invited by fellow retired NHL player Riley Cote, Kevin participated in a transformative psychedelic-focused retreat as a patient of WAKE's clinical program in Jamaica. This experience allowed him to shed years of emotional and physical trauma stemming from a devastating neck injury in January 2006 that prematurely ended his hockey career and plunged him into a dark and seemingly hopeless period of his life. Our conversation also delves into the concept of male masculinity, particularly in individuals like Kevin who spent their lives in physically demanding and "tough guy" sports such as hockey. Kevin's story highlights the importance of finding the courage to seek help when needed. It's yet another inspirational tale of healing and discovering one's true self through the transformative power of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
