“It’s a 100 Steps Back”: Jake Paul Explains Why People Are Afraid to Do Psychedelic Drugs

Facing your inner demons is daunting. Imagine confronting them head-on. Jake Paul discusses the fears of psychedelic therapy. It’s not just a step back; it’s a hundred. Deontay Wilder’s transformation with Ayahuasca before his boxing return sparked intrigue. Ayahuasca, a brew leading to profound, often unsettling insights, is controversial.

Wilder emerged “reborn,” advocating for its benefits. But why does this path intimidate many, including athletes like Paul? Perhaps it’s the fear of uncovering more about ourselves than we’re ready to face. Is the journey of self-discovery worth the turmoil?

From five problems to fifty

In a conversation on The George Janko Show, Jake Paul delved into the complex world of mental health and self-improvement. George Janko posed a thought-provoking question, asking, “What’s the worst part of getting yourself out there with another person? Is it a humiliating standpoint, do you have to fully surrender, what does it look like for a man that’s in recovery of his mind?” Paul’s response was insightful. “It’s a 100 steps back,” he said. “You’re creating more work for yourself, and you’re getting kicked to the bottom of the hill and you have to retrain all your default settings.”

“It takes a lot of time and you have to want to do it and it’s not easy,” he continued. Paul then touched on the fear that inhibits many from seeking help. “I think that’s why a lot of people are afraid to go and do Ayahuasca or to go and unveil these things about themselves, or to even speak with someone.”

He shared a personal anecdote to illustrate his point further. “I had five problems and then I spoke to a therapist and realized I had 50,” Paul revealed. “If you have a good therapist they’re going to say ‘oh yeah well this is happening because XYZ this is how you’re programmed. You’re thinking about this problem but you need to fix this problem.’”

Just as Deontay Wilder sought transformation through Ayahuasca, Paul’s narrative underscores the broader challenge many face. In the same podcast, Jake discussed his 2024 goals with George.

Jake Paul is going to control himself!

Jake Paul is charting a new course for 2024, one that veers away from the physicality of the ring to the depths of the mind. “One of my 2024 goals is to be mindful and control every thought and have better higher quality thoughts,” he revealed on The George Janko Show.

This introspective pivot is not just talk; as he prepares to face Ryan Bourland in the ring, it’s clear that Paul’s battle is as much with his own psyche as with his opponent. This dual focus on mental and physical fitness marks a significant transformation in Paul’s approach to both his career and personal development.
