Join us on this episode of The Psychology Talk Podcast as we delve into the extraordinary realm of entheogens and the wisdom they hold. Once confined to counterculture circles, the use of psychedelics is now inching closer to the mainstream, with millions of Americans having experienced their transformative effects.Our guest, acclaimed author and researcher Rachel Harris, PhD, sheds light on the evolving landscape of psychedelic exploration and the potential loss of invaluable knowledge as legal and medical institutions embrace these powerful medicines.In her latest book, "Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground," released on May 9, 2023, Harris presents an illuminating retrospective of psychedelics' last fifty years. Drawing from in-depth interviews with female elders who have served as guides in the underground psychedelic community, Harris uncovers the hidden insights, healing potential, and spiritual growth cultivated through sacred entheogenic journeys.While current psychedelic research focuses on therapeutic applications involving limited counseling sessions, Harris emphasizes the need to honor the hard-earned knowledge amassed by seasoned guides. She highlights the disparity between research protocols and the best practices developed over decades of underground work, urging us not to overlook the invaluable wisdom gained through these experiences.Dr. Rachel Harris brings a wealth of expertise to the conversation. With a Ph.D. in psychology and over four decades of private practice, she also spent ten years in an academic research department, publishing numerous scientific studies and receiving recognition such as the National Institutes of Health New Investigator's Award.Splitting her time between a serene island in Maine and the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, Harris has become a prominent voice in the field of psychedelics.To learn more about Dr. Rachel Harris and her work, visit her online athttps://www.swimminginthesacred.comhttp://www.listeningtoayahuasca.comThe Psychology Talk Podcast is a unique conversation about psychology around the globe.

On this encore episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast Dr. Hoye interviews Dr. Jia Gottlieb, M.D. about his new book, "Aah…The Pleasure Book." Dr. Hoye and Dr. Jia discuss the concept of pleasure from an Epicurean perspective. They dive deep into the issue of pleasure having been placed on the back burner, so to speak, culturally for 1600 years. Dr. Jia spells out how pleasure drives us towards curiosity in life and discovery of the mysteries of the universe. They discuss the neurology of pleasure in the three basic structures of the brain, and how they can be mapped into a four-stage model of pleasure.The control of pleasure is all around us: our reward systems of our brains these having been relegated to the click of a mouse of a “like” on social media platforms, and by hierarchical structures misleading us to only find pleasure in endless consumption, monolithic, homogenous cultures, and dogmatic religious structues. How can we salvage and orient ourselves to the practical, Epicurean philosophy of pleasure, and better control our minds and lives through freedom? Listen in to find out. Dr. Jia was born to an Austrian Jewish father and Chinese mother and grew up in a white, middle-class suburb outside of Chicago. After graduating from college, he backpacked around the world for a year. During a 12-day trek in the Himalayas, he found his calling as a doctor. He received his MD from Northwestern University, completed his residency in family medicine at the Community Hospital of Sonoma County, California, and then traveled to China, Japan, and India to study acupuncture, martial arts, yoga, and other ancient practices.
