Timestamp: 00:34:54 to 00:38:26

After leaving the military, she lost faith in everything, attempted suicide, and abused drugs.

22. Blocking Trauma vs Psychedelic Therapy
Timestamp: 02:33:15 to 02:39:40
Aliia Roza explains that she strictly avoids alcohol and drugs because lowering her mental guard brings back dark memories of her forest assault.
