They talk about the difference between bad trips and challenging experiences; the factors during prep, facilitation, and integration that can prevent bad trips or turn them into useful challenging experiences; the prevalence of triggered psychosis and HPPD among psychedelic users; how to pick the right psychedelic therapist/guide/facilitator; and much more. *This episode originally aired 3/21/23(1:35) Are bad trips possible?(4:00) What is the difference between a bad trip vs a challenging experience?(7:00) How preparation affects the psychedelic experience(9:58) The importance of supportive community(14:05) What does informed consent in psychedelic-assisted therapy really mean?(16:00) How prevalent are challenging psychedelic experiences?(19:18) How the therapist/guide affects the psychedelic experience(24:28) Be discerning and take it slow(27:25) Emotional breakthrough, catharsis, and abreaction(36:32) The Happiness Hypothesis, by Jonathan Haidt(40:22) Understanding the psychodrama that can happen in a psychedelic experience(46:50) Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) and psychedelic flashbacks(51:01) Dream interpretation(55:14) How to integrate and make meaning of a psychedelic experience(59:23) After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, by Jack Kornfield(01:01:31) How to navigate a bad trip(01:10:07) Using "trip stoppers" like benzodiazepinesLearn more about our podcast at https://numinusnetwork.com/learn/podcast/Learn more about psychedelic therapy training opportunities at https://numinusnetwork.com/training/Learn more about our clinical trials at https://www.numinusnetwork.com/researchLearn more about Numinus at https://numinusnetwork.com/Email us at ptfpodcast@numinus.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstevethayer/https://www.instagram.com/innerspacedoctor/https://www.instagram.com/numinushealth/

While Truth Fairy is away, Dr. T hosts this episode solo, welcoming Scott Hill, author of “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, who completed his PhD with a dissertation titled ‘Building a Jungian Framework for Understanding Psychedelic Induced Psychotic States' at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Dr. Hill shares his early transformative encounters with LSD in 1967, which, though initially ecstatic, devolved into psychologically traumatic events. These experiences led him on a lifelong journey of self-exploration, academic inquiry, and healing.  Scott shares his journey very openly with Dr. T and they discuss how Scott's return to academia in Cailfornia, studying under Stan Grof and Ralph Metzner, deepened his understanding of his own experiences. They examine how Jung's concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes reflect in intense psychedelic states. Scott details how key reading, Holotropic Breathwork, a medicine circle. and an MDMA-assisted therapy session at Burning Man, and MDMA-assisted therapy all helped heal his ongoing flashbacks.  Dr. T and Scott Hill share a deep and revelatory conversation, at the end of which Scott expresses gratitude for the path he was forced onto in spite of how painfully it began. He describes writing and academic research as transformative tools and identifies scholarship as a spiritual practice in its own right. “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience”, Dr. Hill's book, is now foundational in psychedelic psychotherapy circles, and his insights are key to understanding much about psychedelic psychology. “As I read about the myths of Gilgamesh, Inanna,, Job and Christ, I was struck by the resonance between passages in those myths and my difficult psychedelic experiences. Given the Jungian view that myths are expressions of the archetypal unconscious, and given the resonance I experienced reading those myths, I started to wonder whether my terrifying trips, and perhaps those of others, might be understood, in Jung's words, as experiences of an archetypal nature.” - Scott Hill About Scott Hill:Scott J. Hill, Ph.D., lives in Sweden, where he conducts scholarly research on the intersection between psychedelic studies and Jungian psychology. He holds degrees in psychology from the University of Minnesota and in philosophy and religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies.Book: “Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience” by Scott J.

Some call it the "psychedelic renaissance." In the last decade or so, interest in psychedelic drugs has surged—and not just among Silicon Valley types and psychiatrists and neuroscientists. It's also surged among a stereotypically soberer crowd: academic philosophers. The reasons are clear. With their varied and sometimes transformative effects, psychedelics raise ethical questions, epistemological questions, metaphysical questions, questions about the nature of experience and the nature of the mind. My guest today is Dr. Chris Letheby. Chris is a philosopher of cognitive science at the University of Western Australia and the author of the 2021 book, Philosophy of Psychedelics. Here, Chris and I talk about the so-called classic psychedelics—LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and others—and how interest in them has gone through three distinct waves. We discuss the effects that these substances seem to have, in particular their capacity to treat certain psychiatric conditions and their tendency to induce "mystical-like" experiences. We consider the idea that psychedelics might serve as agents of moral enhancement. And we dig into the psychological and neural mechanisms by which psychedelics seem to have their diverse—and often salutary—effects. Along the way, we talk about ontological shock, comforting delusions, brain plasticity, unselfing, microdosing, placebo effects and adverse effects, physicalism and idealism, the REBUS model, environmental virtues, plant consciousness, meditation, and much more. Maybe this is obvious but this episode is not just for the seasoned psychonauts out there. Whatever your personal experience with these substances, they offer a distinctive window into the mind—a new way of grappling with big questions. Perhaps this much is also obvious but we're not encouraging or endorsing the use of psychedelics here—just offering a little fuel for your intellectual fires!

Andrés Gomez Emilsson is the director of the San Francisco–based Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a nonprofit developing formal models of consciousness and emotional valence. QRI's research aims to untangle the harmonic, computational, and symmetry-driven mechanisms underlying phenomenological experience. They approach the optimization of subjective experience through two powerful psychotechnologies — psychedelics and meditation — using them to explore the state-space of mind and map the structure of qualia. In this conversation, we discuss the phenomenology of enlightenment, the non-local field effects of consciousness, and one of Andrés' side projects: how perfumes and smells modulate perception and emotional geometry.

In this video, I share one of the most intense and unforgettable experiences of my life—the time I met a 4th-dimensional cosmic snake during a DMT trip. This wasn't just some trippy visual… this being knew me. It spoke without words, delivered messages that hit me at the core of my existence and left me with insights that changed the way I live my life forever. Was it just my brain? Another dimension? A messenger from beyond? I don't know, but I'll never forget what it showed me.This is my story of breaking through on DMT, gaining interdimensional wisdom and the snake that somehow knew everything.Not advice. Just the raw truth of what I experienced.Instagram► instagram.com/imtrippin2hardContact me: imtrippin2hard@gmail.comThis video is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

One of the main reasons I started this podcast was to showcase the stories, experiences & impact these medicines have made upon people's lives. That being said, I still get goosebumps when I hear those stories as they remind me of the immense power that not only these medicines hold within them, but that we also hold within us. Todays guest on the show is a returning guest, one of my dear brothers in the world & someone who is one of the best story tellers I have ever met & in todays episode, we dive deep into a recent journey he had utilizing the trifecta of MDMA, psilocybin & intramuscular ketamine. As you'll hear, he recently attended a brand new center called the Awaken center that has opened up in Austin that has incredible staff on hand, medical teams, etc. & to say his journey was profound would be an understatement, but I'll save the details as a surprise for you to uncover as you tune in. Purchase Adam's products & receive a 15% discount by using code “SPRAGUE15” at checkout at the link below

One of the main reasons I love podcasting so much is, yep, you guessed it, I adore speaking, however, speaking to myself alone in a room is a little weird & definitely not the same experience as when I get to speak to others who stimulate my curiosity, peak my inspiration & remind me of how epic & infinite life can be. As such, this show has become a zone of excitement & growth for me of sorts, consistently allowing me to open myself up to the unknown, to others subjective viewpoints of the world & to find more meaning in the game of life we are all playing a part in & todays episode is spot on to what I just described. Todays guest & I met some years back & immediately connected over the fact that we both not only spent time in the Cannabis industry, but were both passionate around the truth of Cannabis being a psychedelic medicine, among other things such as our love & affinity for psychedelics, spirituality & entrepreneurship, to name but a few. As such, we talked the last few years about doing a show & the divine timing finally aligned for this week on the show!

In this powerful episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I reconnect with the Mind Architect and my brother from another Mother Peter Crone, whose profound work in human potential and freedom has helped thousands worldwide. Together, we shine a light on the illusions that keep us stuck — from subconscious limiting beliefs to societal conditioning — and how we can truly break free in order to ignite our full potential. Peter shares profound insights on the power of perspective and identity, explaining how our conditioned narratives shape our reality and why shifting them is the key to transformation. He likens personal growth to alchemy — where the old self must transform — like fire refining metal, creating something precious and infinitely more valuable.   We also dive into fear, resistance, and disease, examining how unprocessed emotions manifest in the body and why true healing begins with awareness. A core theme of our conversation is the death of the ego — how letting go of outdated identities and stories leads to huge growth and transformation. We also explore the masculine and the feminine, highlighting the dysfunctional cycles that keep us disconnected, and how stepping into authentic masculine leadership and feminine empowerment can restore balance both individually, and for society as a whole. I also open up about my recent BUFO experience, which facilitated a deep remembering of who we really are and what life is all about. If you're ready to shift your perspective, heal deeply, step into true liberation, and find out if Peter is single or not, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest JF to the podcast to talk about sexual health, relational difficulties, and the integration of psychedelic experiences in therapy. JF is a psychotherapist with a double PhD, one in EI and one in clinical psychology, and he approaches therapy from a holistic perspective, integrating mind, body and heart in the healing process. Dr. T and Truth Fairy delve into how JF's psychological insight shapes his approach to helping individuals and couples navigate life challenges.  JF describes part of his conventional clinical specialties as focussing on human sexual health and relationships, and he works with patients who struggle with sexual issues. That part of his work is often conventional. But he also works in psychosomatic therapy with breathwork, movement, visualizations, and more. Dr. T and Truth Fairy explore exactly what sexual issues a person or couple could experience, how those may relate to being queer or having kinks, and how sexuality changes with age as well. JF talks about common themes in his conventional and psychosomatic work and discusses his approach to the client's troubles.  The body speaks more slowly than the mind, according to JF, and as such he discusses the innate differences between processes in conventional and psychosomatic therapies. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and JF all relate personal stories about psychosomatic treatments and experiences within their bodies. The conversation opens wider to include the roles of psychedelics in healing and which ones help in which ways. JF recounts his training in Gestalt, what he explores through cannabis work, and how he fundamentally approaches trauma work. The conversation is an elegant deep dive into sexual health and healing.“There's something fundamental in contact improv. It's contact. And I'm convinced the more I work that we are contact starved. And of course, our basics are contact through touch. It's not the only way we connect. We contact through emotional synchrony. We contact through speaking. But we are, I believe, contact starved.” - JF__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com

In this episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, Keith Kurlander, MA, LPC, joins to discuss the important topic of integration practices for challenging psychedelic experiences. Keith is the Co-Founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, the largest professional education company specializing in integrative mental health and psychedelic therapy. In this conversation, Keith begins by exploring the different types of challenging psychedelic experiences and various lingering effects one may experience following a difficult psychedelic journey. He discusses these from a trauma-informed perspective, explaining how a traumatized nervous system can lead to dissociation on the other side of an intense ego-disrupting experience. Keith also shares practices and insights from internal family systems (IFS) for integrating challenging psychedelic experiences. In closing, he emphasizes that psychedelics are not lazer-targeted therapies, so they do carry inherent risks, but through effective integration practices, patients can make healthy meaning out of even negative experiences.    In this episode you'll hear: Lingering issues with ego fragmentation and connections to the dissociative disorder spectrum Persisting psychotic disorders following psychedelic experiences The difference between CPTSD and PTSD Uncovering repressed traumatic memories during psychedelic journeys Trauma stemming from difficult psychedelic experiences  Challenging spiritual experiences   Quotes: “The concept of pendulation [is] that we can be more flexible to ease our way into these overwhelming states. So once we are totally overwhelmed, we have to work our way back out gracefully, but as we are doing that, you get a gem as you are coming back… you learn something as you are coming out of that state.” [18:02] “If people have a psychotic disorder that emerged after their psychedelic use, you need a psychiatrist at that point… If it's really a psychotic emergence, whether a previous psychotic disorder got triggered or whatever, you need a psychiatrist to work with you on that.” [20:07] “I believe all these mental health conditions have a trauma process underneath them. I don't know how you isolate a trauma process from a mental health condition” [25:30] “It's about working with a person's meaning-making structure: is the meaning they're making creating more psychological flexibility or less psychological flexibility? That's a really important question to hold as a therapist because people will make all kinds of meaning up from these experiences but if they're creating meaning that's creating more rigid structures of how they see the world, then they get disappointed more often.” [34:21]   Links: Psychiatry Institute website Keith's website Keith on Instagram Higher Practice podcast  Previous episode: The Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project with Jules Evans Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

Jimmy explores the logistical and subjective factors to consider before embarking on a psychedelic experience, emphasizing that psychedelics are not a quick fix but rather a tool that complements personal effort in healing and self-growth.Logistical readiness involves having a stable foundation in life, including housing, food, and emotional security. Jimmy stresses the importance of a solid support system, which may include friends, family, or professional guidance. Without these essentials, the benefits of a psychedelic experience could be challenging to sustain.On the subjective side, individuals should assess their motivations. True readiness may feel like a calling, a deep and persistent need to explore, rather than just a desire for novelty. Psychedelics should be viewed as catalysts for growth, not as replacements for one's personal healing work. Those who feel "stuck" and seek genuine change may benefit most, but only if they approach psychedelics with respect, intention, and awareness of the integration process.No mushroom source?

If there's one thing I've learned in the realm of psychedelic medicines, it's that it REALLY helps to have a solid foundation of spiritual practice before connecting with these medicines. The truth is that much of what we face in these experiences is going to be challenging & by allowing yourself to tap into modalities such as breathwork & fasting, for instance, beforehand, you prime yourself with the necessary experience to handle these challenges & come out seeing them happen for you, rather than to you. Todays guest on the show is a man who along with having an incredible spiritual foundation from which he teaches & trains from, is no stranger to challenging experiences within the realm of psychedelic medicines & in this episode, we dive right into some of these experiences, what he's learned as a result of them, how breathwork & fasting has supported him in these experiences & much, much more.  https://www.highlyoptimized.me

Ep. 152 (Part 2 of 2) | Life coach, recovery coach, and plant medicine ceremonialist Ron Interpreter has created a multidimensional, whole person healing modality that integrates Navajo spiritual teachings and traditions with Ken Wilber's Integral Model and Integral spirituality. Humanity is shifting, Ron explains, and is now looking to the teachings of the ancestors and Indigenous practices that can bring a sense of authenticity, purpose, and meaning to our lives. Native spirituality teaches us how we can relate to the elements of earth, fire, water and air in terms of remedies and medicines, and also in terms of beliefs and emotional connections. Plant medicine and other mind-altering ceremonies provide us with the means to get beyond the psychological limitations we put on ourselves, attain higher states of consciousness, and receive answers to our deepest questions.With a calm, articulate fervency, Ron shares the ancestral wisdom he teaches to people in recovery or who are suffering from trauma, including special ops forces and veterans: the Native concepts of taking responsibility, being accountable, forging a relationship with God or Spirit, and living from a profound understanding of what it means to be a human being. “We are in the creation of self—how do we practice our selves?” Ron asks. The Indigenous teachings that Ron brings forward provide a deep sense of grounding in Nature and Spirit, as we come to a better understanding of our place in the universe and the practices that can open us up to living in a sacred way, in connection with divine being.

This week's show is with Paul F. Austin. Paul is a prominent figure in psychedelics and has guided millions to safe and meaningful psychedelic experiences through his work as the founder of Third Wave. Featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife, he pioneers the convergence of psychedelics, personal transformation, and professional success. Paul empowers leaders, creatives, and pioneers to leverage psychedelics for profound personal and professional growth. Paul's expertise also extends to microdosing, a trend gaining momentum. He authored "Mastering Microdosing," a comprehensive guide that seamlessly blends research and anecdotes. It's a transformative resource for leaders, creatives, and healers. He views psychedelics as refined skills cultivated through mentorship, exploration, and purposeful use—critical for humanity's ongoing evolution. As the longest-standing and youngest entrepreneur in this field, Paul's focus on merging psychedelics with professional development is evident in his transformative training program Psychedelic Coaching Institute The program caters to individuals who seek to integrate their psychedelic experiences into their business practices, all under the guidance of one of the industry's most trusted leaders. In this show, Paul and Lian explore the complex landscape of psychedelics, discussing personal journeys, the challenges of censorship, and the spiritual awakening that can accompany the use of these substances. They delve into the historical context of psychedelics, the importance of reclaiming ancient practices, and the future prospects for legalisation and acceptance in society. They reflect on the need for a balanced approach to psychedelics, advocating for microdosing as a means to navigate the current challenges while seeding a deeper understanding of the spiritual potential of these substances. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Many people are feeling a deep calling towards psychedelics, and at the same time, censorship and legal challenges are increasing in the psychedelic space, and are part of the landscape to navigate. The journey of psychedelics is intertwined with personal and collective evolution - as ever, what's most personal is most universal. As much as there is a trend to medicalise and psychologise psychedelics, it's important to remember that at their heart - they open us to the spiritual.

Ep. 151 (Part 1 of 2) | Life coach, recovery coach, and plant medicine ceremonialist Ron Interpreter has created a multidimensional, whole person healing modality that integrates Navajo spiritual teachings and traditions with Ken Wilber's Integral Model and Integral spirituality. Humanity is shifting, Ron explains, and is now looking to the teachings of the ancestors and Indigenous practices that can bring a sense of authenticity, purpose, and meaning to our lives. Native spirituality teaches us how we can relate to the elements of earth, fire, water and air in terms of remedies and medicines, and also in terms of beliefs and emotional connections. Plant medicine and other mind-altering ceremonies provide us with the means to get beyond the psychological limitations we put on ourselves, attain higher states of consciousness, and receive answers to our deepest questions.With a calm, articulate fervency, Ron shares the ancestral wisdom he teaches to people in recovery or who are suffering from trauma, including special ops forces and veterans: the Native concepts of taking responsibility, being accountable, forging a relationship with God or Spirit, and living from a profound understanding of what it means to be a human being. “We are in the creation of self—how do we practice ourselves?” Ron asks. The Indigenous teachings that Ron brings forward provide a deep sense of grounding in Nature and Spirit, as we come to a better understanding of our place in the universe and the practices that can open us up to living in a sacred way, in connection with divine being. Recorded August 1, 2024.“What life am I practicing?

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of psychedelics and their potential to revolutionize mental health with our guest, Cory Firth, a leading advocate and explorer in the psychedelic space. Cory shares his personal journey, including his battle with mental health and how it led him to become a key figure in the movement for psychedelic-assisted therapies.

During the show, Cory will answer pressing questions such as: How do psychedelics differ from traditional mental health treatments? What are the challenges facing the psychedelic industry following the FDA's recent decision to reject MDMA for PTSD treatment? And, how can the psychedelic community address ethical concerns and ensure the highest standards in clinical research?

In this episode, Vital instructor, Diego Pinzon, hosts his first podcast, interviewing Vital graduate and clinically-trained psychologist, “The Kinki Buddhist”: Kate Amy. As Amy's interest in psychedelics grew, she began to see a clear intersection between psychedelic states and the non-ordinary states she'd reached through years of meditation practice, as well as lessons from Buddhism that could help in better understanding psychedelic journeys. She talks about the importance of really understanding what it is one is seeking when looking to have a psychedelic experience, and the significance of integration – no matter how long it takes. While she has tips that have worked for clients, she feels that the psychedelic space has a long way to go in establishing best practices for the most effective integration. She discusses: Why she uses the name, “The Kinki Buddhist” How she frames the psychedelic experience as taking an evolutionary substance (and/or receiving a software upgrade) The necessity of having a positive relationship with the self before a big trip The continuous process of patients and facilitators both engaging in shadow work, and ways of discovering our different hidden parts The rigidity many of us prescribe to certain healing frameworks, and how beneficial it can be to view strict rules as guidelines for exploration instead and of course, her experience with Vital!

Sometimes reality can be stranger than fiction, but not when taking psychedelic drugs. FRC’s Jennifer Bauwens explains to host Joseph Backholm, the physical, psychological, and spiritual experience one can have when taking psychedelics. With her background in trauma research, Jennifer has been monitoring the FDA’s discussion on whether psychedelic drugs are safe for public use. In a 10 to 1 vote, the FDA board decided that the risk of taking psychedelic drugs FAR outweighed the benefits – but why? Come and take a “trip” with us as we try and unpack a psychedelic experience, the dangers of said drugs, and the current mental and spiritual crisis happening in our society.

In this episode, Joe interviews Erica Rex, MA: award-winning journalist, past guest, thought leader on psychedelic medicine, and participant in one of the first clinical trials using psilocybin to treat cancer-related depression. She tells the story of her recent harrowing experience, brought on by 6 times the amount of Syrian rue that was recommended: from entities threatening her, to a sense of terror she was going to die, to finding her way out of it with time, and most importantly, context to process and a strong support system. She and Joe emphasize the reality that bad trips can happen at any time, with any dose, for any reason, and that – if you can make your way through the experience without being traumatized – you can learn a lot about yourself during those states. She discusses: Methods to help others having a bad experience Her skepticism about psychedelic therapy being in a medical context at all Her thoughts on the recent ICER recommendation against approving MDMA and the multiple topics not addressed Possible complications from MDMA use nobody talks about, from cytotoxic effects to even sudden-onset psychosis The pathologizing of anything outside the ordinary, to the point that we're trying to suppress natural human emotions and reactions and more!  For links, head to the show notes page.

In this episode, Joe interviews Charles Stang: Professor of Early Christian Thought and the Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School. The Center was created to gain a better understanding of world religions by bringing scholars from their respective countries to study and live alongside Divinity School students. As students and Stang started to become interested in psychedelics, a zoom series, "Psychedelics and the Future of Religion," began, and the school just hosted their second conference, "Psychedelic Intersections: Cross Cultural Manifestations of the Sacred." Next year's Psychedelics and Spirituality conference will take place February 15, 2025.  He discusses:  Harvard's psychedelic history, and why it's important to not erase the past out of the interest of presumed legitimacy How people are consistently having extraordinary experiences with psychedelics, but not always with religion: Are people becoming less (or more) religious? The Immortality Key, the Eleusinian mysteries, and psychedelic enthusiasts' need to connect Christianity with psychedelics Psychedelics and other mystery religions, like Hermeticism and Mithraism Why religion is important to so many people, and how it helps us understand the "more-than-human"  and much more.
