Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome Greg Wrenn, a former Alabama state representative and long-time health policy advocate, who shares insights into how he became interested in the therapeutic use of psychedelics through personal research and professional exposure. Greg recently wrote a book called “Mothership” about coral reef research, ecological crisis, and his personal PTSD healing journey with ayahuasca. He discusses portions of the book and his experiences with Truth and Dr. T.  Greg explores the growing interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy, particularly its potential to help individuals who struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. He addresses the shift from viewing psychedelics as taboo to recognizing their potential under controlled, clinical settings. His personal stories, alongside those shared by Truth, highlight the positive impact psychedelic therapy can have and how his passion for the issue has been fueled. Truth Fairy, Dr. T, and Greg share concerns about the challenges of implementing beneficial psychedelic healing sessions, and they celebrate Greg's integration of tribal and liberating dance into the ayahuasca ceremony. They talk about the importance of regulation, ethical safeguards, and integration of Indigenous practices, and caution against the risks of commercialization. The episode is both vulnerable and informative, painting a hopeful picture of potential healing even in the face of difficult times.“You know, I'm no psychedelic evangelist. I don't think everyone should drink ayahuasca or work with psychedelics. I know I should, I know I need to. And so this is really important for my mission, which is to, I guess, spread a message of love and spread a message of the possibility of planetary healing, because planetary healing happens, at least with humanity, one brain at a time.” - Greg Wrenn__About Greg Wrenn:A former Stegner Fellow and Jones Lecturer at Stanford University, GREG WRENN is the author of the ayahuasca eco-memoir Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis, an evidence-based account of his turning to coral reefs and psychedelic plants to heal from childhood trauma, and Centaur (U of Wisconsin Press 2013), which National Book Award-winning poet Terrance Hayes awarded the Brittingham Prize. ​Greg's work has appeared or is forthcoming in HuffPost, The New Republic, Al Jazeera, The Rumpus, LitHub, Writer's Digest, Kenyon Review, New England Review, The Iowa Review, and elsewhere. He has received awards and fellowships from the James Merrill House, the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Vermont Studio Center, the Poetry Society of America, the Hermitage Artist Retreat, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Spiro Arts Center. On his Mothership book tour, he spoke to audiences around the world, including at Yale School of Medicine, the University of Utah School of Medicine, Vancouver Island University, and the University of Virginia School of Nursing. Greg has also been on numerous podcasts, including Levi Chambers's PRIDE, and was recently interviewed by Emmy Award-winning journalist Elizabeth Vargas on NewsNation​ and by Jane Garvey on Times Radio (UK). ​As an associate English professor at James Madison University, he teaches creative nonfiction, poetry, and environmental literature and directs the JMU Creative Writing Minor. He also teaches in the Memoir Certificate Program at Stanford Continuing Studies. He was educated at Harvard University and Washington University in St. Louis.Greg is currently at work on a follow-up book to Mothership and sending out Homesick, his second poetry collection. A student of ayahuasca since 2019, he is a trained yoga teacher and a PADI Advanced Open Water diver, having explored coral reefs around the world for over 25 years. He and his husband divide their time between the mountains of Virginia and Atlantic Beach, Florida.Website: GregWrenn.comBook: “Mothership: A Memoir of Wonder and Crisis” by Greg Wrenn__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com

Roger is a pioneer in the field of Mycology, having dedicated over a decade of his life to perfecting the art and science of extraction, concentration, and product formulation. These medicinal mushrooms saved his life and led him on a personal journey of discovery, which he credits with transforming his life, and thus sparked a relentless pursuit of knowledge in mycology, alchemy, and sustainable agriculture. Holding a degree in Sustainable Agriculture and deeply immersed in the study of mycology since 2012, Roger combines cutting-edge scientific techniques with ancient wisdom from alchemy and the esoteric arts to craft the most potent and bioavailable mushroom products on the market. His passion for sustainability and quality is evident in every step of the process, from sourcing the finest ingredients to meticulously refining extraction methodologies.Ken has spent over 24 years immersed in holistic medicine, permaculture, and mycology. A visionary in the culinary and functional mushroom industry, he founded three mushroom companies, including the Chicago Mushroom Company where Ken raised the bar in culinary mushroom cultivation as the primary supplier of premium mushrooms for fine dining in Chicago before partnering with Roger Holden to focus on the healing power of medicinal fungi. Guided by fungi as his greatest teacher, Ken has studied with legends like Paul Stamets, Peter McCoy and Robert Rogers. His passion lies in cultivating mushrooms, educating others, and advancing the transformative potential of fungi to heal individuals and communities alike.Fruiting Bodies was born from passion, experience, and a shared vision to create the highest quality functional mushroom products. It is the culmination of two unique journeys that led Roger and Ken to a powerful partnership dedicated to health, sustainability, and the transformative power of mushrooms.Roger's path to functional mushrooms was deeply personal. As a child, he faced severe digestive issues and was prescribed a myriad of pharmaceutical drugs, only to see his health deteriorate further. In high school, he suffered from an extreme case of mononucleosis that left him bedridden for over a year, leading to depression, chronic fatigue, and a slew of other health complications. He struggled with ADHD, concussions, Lyme disease, and the side effects of prescription medications. It wasn't until he discovered functional mushrooms—starting with Reishi—that his life began to change. Seeking affordable and effective natural solutions, he started making his own tinctures, and soon, his symptoms began to fade. By the time he returned to college, he was in the best shape of his life. His journey led him to study sustainable agriculture and food production, work with industry leaders like Tradd Cotter, and eventually launch his own functional mushroom company, Mushroom Magic LLC, in 2020. With a mission to provide clean, ethical, and potent mushroom supplements, Roger dedicated himself to bridging ancient knowledge with modern applications.Ken's journey took a different but equally powerful route. For much of his early life, he struggled with unhealthy habits, chronic pain, and an overall disconnection from true wellness. He spent years caught in patterns of stress, poor health, and survival mode until a dramatic shift in his late 30s led him to rediscover himself. Through personal transformation, Ken became obsessed with health, wellness, and the interconnectedness of soil, food, and community. His studies in horticulture, permaculture, and sustainable agriculture deepened his appreciation for mushrooms—not just as food or medicine, but as a crucial component of ecological restoration. Ken started growing mushrooms, launched Chicago Mushroom Company, and worked with chefs, environmentalists, and urban agriculture pioneers to bring mushrooms to the forefront of sustainable food and medicine. His frustration with the low quality of many functional mushroom products on the market fueled his desire to find a partner who shared his commitment to potency, sustainability, and integrity.That's when Ken heard Roger's interview on the Mycopreneur Podcast. Immediately, he knew he had to reach out. Their first conversation lasted nearly seven hours—an in-depth discussion about mushrooms, health, sustainability, and their aligned visions for the future. They quickly realized they were not only kindred spirits but also the perfect partners to revolutionize the functional mushroom industry.From this meeting of minds and missions, Fruiting Bodies was born. Merging Mushroom Magic and Chicago Mushroom Company, Ken and Roger set out to create the most potent, effective, and ethically sourced mushroom products on the market. Every tincture, extract, and supplement they produce is rooted in science, tradition, and a commitment to people and the planet. Fruiting Bodies is more than just a brand; it is a movement dedicated to healing, education, and empowerment.Ken and Roger's story is one of resilience, discovery, and purpose. Together, they continue to push the boundaries of functional mushrooms, ensuring that the products they offer are not just good—but truly life-changing.Episode Highlights▶ How Roger's health struggles led him to discover mushrooms, while Ken transitioned from a corporate background to a passion for them▶ Why mushroom essences work on the shadow aspects of ourselves, and how trusting yourself is key in the healing journey▶ How mushrooms are safe, but introspection is important when using them for healing, which is both physical and emotional▶ How functional mushrooms are becoming mainstream in health products, with mushrooms being the original medicines, not alternatives▶ How mushroom essences enhance dream work and integration, and education is crucial for consumers to make informed choices.▶ How quality extraction methods are vital for mushroom efficacy, and mushrooms have the potential to heal both people and the environment▶ How the mushroom market is unregulated and chaotic, but how mushrooms can help with micro-remediation and environmental cleanup▶ Personalized approaches to mushroom use are essential for maximizing their benefitsKen Mycelium and Roger Holden's Links & Resources▶ Website: www.fruitingbodies.co▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fruitingbodies.co▶ Instagram: https://www.instgram.com/fruitingbodies.co  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz ▶ Join the free Psychedelics & Purpose Community: / psychedelicsandsacredmedicines

Robert Forte is a scholar of the history and psychology of religion, with a special focus on the ancient and modern use—and misuse—of psychedelic plants and drugs. He has studied and collaborated with many of the most seminal figures who first brought these substances to public consciousness since the 1940s, including Albert Hofmann, Gordon Wasson, Timothy Leary, Alexander Shulgin, Stanislav Grof, and others.His first book, Entheogens and the Future of Religion, was praised by Huston Smith as “the best single inquiry into the religious significance of psychedelics.” His second book, Outside Looking In: Appreciations, Castigations, Reminiscences of Timothy Leary, offers an intimate look at this controversial figure. In 1998, he republished an updated edition of The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries by Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, and Carl Ruck—a seminal text that initiated the inquiry into the role of entheogens in Western religion and philosophy.Over the years, Forte has manufactured MDMA before it was scheduled, conducted research into its clinical effects, and performed fieldwork in Peru studying the impact of ayahuasca on cancer patients. He has also maintained an underground practice utilizing various medicines for psychotherapy and spiritual exploration.Around 20 years ago, his interests shifted toward the sociology of psychedelic experience, where he has developed a somewhat controversial perspective on how these substances entered modern consciousness. He argues that the history of psychedelics, much like the history of religion, contains both the best and worst of humanity. Without acknowledging and integrating its shadow aspects, he warns, we risk becoming victims of them.Episode Highlights▶ How early psychedelic experiences profoundly influenced individual perspectives.▶  How the 1980s saw a resurgence in psychedelic research following prior suppression.▶  MDMA's shift from therapeutic tool to illegal substance exemplifies drug policy complexities.▶  Government drug policies and how they often prioritize control over public health.▶  The psychedelic narratives that are often entangled with conspiracy theories and misinformation.▶  How psychedelics offer potential for consciousness expansion, but require careful integration to avoid pitfalls like spiritual bypassing.▶  The Controlled Substances Act and how it's rationality is widely questioned.▶  How despite illegality, MDMA's popularity grew, reflecting societal interest.▶  The societal impact of psychedelics is multifaceted, demanding ethical consideration.▶  Why meaningful change requires applying psychedelic insights to daily life, beyond mere experience.Robert Forte's Links & Resources▶ Website: alteredstatesofamerica.net▶ Substack: alteredstatesofamerica.substack.com▶ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/robert.forte.79  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz ▶ Join the free Psychedelics & Purpose Community: / psychedelicsandsacredmedicines

In this episode I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Brad Jacobs, who is board certified in internal medicine and integrative medicine. He is the owner of BlueWave Medicine Clinic in Sausalito, California, and also co-author of the Anti-Inflammation Cookbook. He specializes in psychedelic medicine and a form of therapy called Hakomi.

We'll be talking about health transformation, longevity, and recovery from trauma by making diet changes to reduce inflammation and using psychedelic medicines. Dr. Brad has been involved with integrative medicine since he was 10 years old.

In this episode, Dr. T and Truth Fairy have an in-depth conversation about current global and political concerns, particularly focusing on the drastic actions taken by Donald Trump in his recent return to power. Truth Fairy details how his executive orders have dismantled key institutions, targeted marginalized communities, and damaged international relations. They talk frankly about the trauma of living in this time and the role of psychedelics, exploring powerful examples of reclaiming the traditional powers of medicine for healing.Truth Fairy explores how Western psychedelic culture has often become self-focused, neglecting to address larger societal issues. Dr. T reflects on how ancient examples of dominance and control still shape the world, and they discuss the need to reclaim group wisdom, relational healing, and embodied awareness in psychedelic work. Part of that work must include a balance to both hemispheres of the brain—logic and intuition—to effectively deal with the challenges of the modern world.  Truth Fairy shares a powerful case study of a client who had endured extreme childhood trauma and how psychedelics, when used with intentional intervention, helped him break free from dissociative loops. She and Dr. T discuss the overlooked trauma of men, the need for deeper empathy in therapy, and the responsibility of practitioners to guide clients with wisdom. This episode is a raw and powerful look into the current news, where Truth Fairy and Dr. T urge us to become critically aware of media narratives and integrate psychedelic healing within the social context. “It's not Trump. He's just a figurehead, a representation or a mirror [held] up to us of our own situation as a culture. You know, I mean, I can't help but wonder if Trump was stood down for some reason, would another leader just like him emerge? Because it's not actually him that is the sickness. It's the culture that has decided to elect a leader of that nature that's reflective of trauma, that's not resolved for so many people.” - Dr. T__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Robert Laurie to the show to talk about radical approaches to medical health and the ongoing fight for the recognition and legalization of cannabis and psychedelic medicines. Robert is a pioneer in psychedelic law and policy, the founder of Ad Lucem Law Corporation, and has been instrumental in advancing medical access to cannabis and psilocybin internationally. Robert shares his insights on the future of psychedelic therapy with Dr. T. and Truth Fairy.Robert discusses how he has represented many cases in the psychedelic space but the focus of his work has primarily shifted to looking at constitutional arguments. He points out such areas as opening dispensaries, operating psychedelic healing centers, and making psychedelics available on reserves through retail dispensaries. He explains that he collaborates with and represents academics, scientists, MDs, researchers and elders in his quest to shape policy in favour of cannabis and psilocybin.  Truth Fairy, Dr. T, and Robert examine the history of cannabis prohibition, how cannabis use compares to tobacco and alcohol use in terms of lethality rates, the rigidity of government views on psychedelics, and how policy aims to combat the ingrained structures that stand against the proliferation of psychedelic medicines. Robert's opinions and outlook are shaped by personal experience, years of study, and legal expertise in the realm of psychedelic use. He sheds light on what he believes is the innate right of humankind to access plant-based medicines and why governments tend to oppose that right.  “I mean, I think it's fair to say that there's probably been tons of scientific research by both military and medical and pharmaceutical. But what it boils down to is, you know, just take smoking cessation and psychedelics, for example. I mean, psychedelics, you know, promise major disruption to these well-established and entrenched hallowed halls, including tobacco, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and the government isn't, I think, sure what to do with all of this.” - Robert Laurie__ About Robert Laurie:Robert graduated from the faculty of Political Science and International Relations at the University of British Columbia and earned his law degree from the University of Oxford. He has been practicing law since 2006, and is recognized as an accomplished lawyer, international consultant, and public speaker.Part of Robert's practice is committed to improving medical patient access and facilitate drug laws for cannabis, psychedelics, and sacred plant medicines.

Quilley is a social worker by education, with about six years of experience working with the elderly in the 1960s. In the early 1970s, she explored different psychedelic medicines under the tutelage of Leo Zeff while also engaging in regular recreational use common to that era. Her first non-dual experiences occurred with the Grateful Dead while on medicine. Quilley has been practicing meditation for over 30 years, accumulating about three years of silent retreat practice, including a 21-day retreat in complete darkness. She came to Theravadan Buddhist practice through the doorway of suffering after the loss of her son in 1993, working with her grief under the guidance of Stephen and Ondrea Levine. This led her to volunteer with two hospices and work with individuals through the Living Dying Project. Over time, she developed a deeply committed sitting practice, which included many monthlong retreats, a three-month retreat in 2010, and extended practice in Burma (four months in 1999) and Bodhgaya in 2012. She was also active in the Buddhism 12-Step community and worked with elders in various capacities, including being part of a Sangha practicing with San Quentin inmates. Quilley served as a retreat manager at Spirit Rock Meditation Center for 11 years. In her elder years, Quilley trained as a Death Doula with INELDA and now has a practice at the intersection of meditation, death, and awakening.Episode Highlights▶ ▶ Quilley Powers' background in social work and psychedelics▶ The importance of recording elder voices and wisdom▶ How 5-MeO DMT offers profound experiences that can resemble death▶ How psychedelics can help alleviate the fear of death for many▶ The crucial role death doulas play in providing support and ritual▶ Why society often avoids discussions about death, and how it leads to fear▶ Rituals around death that can bring sacredness to the process▶ How meditation and psychedelics can enhance understanding of nonduality▶ The intersection of meditation, dying, and awakening and why it's significant▶ How open conversations about death can transform societal views and how exploration of personal experiences can lead to growth and wisdom▶ Why the future of death and dying is evolving with societal changes▶ How continuous learning is essential for personal development▶ Ways that psychedelics can complement Buddhist practices for a deeper understanding▶ How mindfulness helps in accepting life's unpredictability▶ Cultural influences that shape our perceptions of aging and beauty▶ The importance of community in navigating life's transitions▶ How an awareness of privilege can inform our understanding of suffering▶ Why acceptance of the aging process can lead to greater wisdom▶ Personal practices are crucial for maintaining presence and awareness.Quilley Powers's Links & Resources▶ A FREE half-hour phone call to anyone who ants to know more about her work.

CancerNetwork® spoke with Michael P. Bogenschutz, MD, director of the NYU Langone Center for Psychedelic Medicine and professor of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, about psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) in managing psychological challenges associated with serious cancer diagnoses following the publication of a pooled analysis of 2 phase 2 trials assessing the regimen in this patient population. In these trials, 87 patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either psilocybin first (n = 45) or control therapy with niacin or low-dose psilocybin first (n = 42) followed by crossover. A total of 79 patients completed at least 1 assessment after the first dose. He began by touching upon the significance of the results, highlighting an improvement in multiple psychiatric symptoms including anxiety (P = .0049), depression (P = .0007), interpersonal sensitivity (P = .0005), obsession-compulsion (P = .0002), hostility (P = .009), and somatization (P < .0001). Then, Bogenschutz discussed the potential for PAP to reduce an unmet need for patients seeking effective medication to mitigate cancer-related psychological challenges, highlighting limitations of both antidepressants and anxiety medication in this population.  Next, Bogenschutz discussed implementing PAP into clinical practice for patients with cancer-related psychological challenges. In particular, he expressed that integration could occur through in-house operation, which may build the capacity to provide PAP within cancer centers, or through a referral system to a licensed practitioner trained to administer psilocybin.  Additionally, he described potential adverse effects associated with psilocybin use, highlighting acute mind-altering and sympathomimetic effects. He then expressed the importance of psychotherapy as a means of supplementing the use of psilocybin, which may help patients better attain positive mental health outcomes than with psilocybin alone.  He concluded by highlighting the lasting effects of psilocybin dosing, which may persist for months after a single dose, as well as areas for future research in assessing PAP. Specifically, he emphasized exploring ideal treatment parameters and the full psychopathological scope of the agent. Reference Petridis PD, Grinband J, Agin-Liebes G, et al.

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Gil Bar-Sela to the podcast to talk about his work as a psychedelic guide, facilitator, and trainer working with individuals, couples, and groups. Gil weaves modalities like generative somatics, compassionate listening, and archetypal work into the more ancient medicine ceremonies. Gil shares his personal journey with Dr. T and Truth Fairy and engages in thoughtful discussions about psychedelics and healing. Gil shares that when he moved to the United States after being raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, he had his first opportunity to deal with the trauma lodged in his body. That led him to ask questions about conflict, the root causes of conflict, trauma, and intergenerational trauma which put him on track to explore all those issues. He also began his own personal healing process around his queer identity. This experience and questioning led him to the studies and practices he engages in today.  Truth Fairy, Gil, and Dr. T talk about how self-awareness is what first leads to healing work. Having a sense of what we need can lead us to the right kind of work to be doing. Gil talks about the building blocks necessary to become a good guide which include ethics, pharmacology, and onboarding clients in a responsible way. The conversation highlights Gil's own strong sense of guidance and understanding of the different types of medicine available for healing individuals which also includes psychedelics.“You have the psychiatrist, you have the psychotherapist moving into the space that are very rooted in the Western psyche, but are also lacking usually in terms of connection to spirit, to more expansive practices, to ancient wisdom. And so I think, in particular, the role of the underground guide can be to merge the two worlds. Because we're not here and we're not there. We can be bridge builders. The training that I lead is very much focused on that.” - Gil Bar-Sela__About Gil Bar-Sela:Gil has trained teams and businesses to invoke a thriving work culture. He has inspired audiences of thousands by speaking at colleges across the country on topics such as the power of listening and gender equality. He has collaborated with the leadership team of Seattle's Restorative Justice Initiative, creating community-based, non-punitive solutions to conflict. He co-leads annual delegations to Palestine and Israel with The Compassionate Listening Project, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to transform conflict and strengthen cultures of peace. He also coaches privately, and leads workshops and retreats globally.Gil is a Certified Trainer with the Heart Math Institute and a Certified Facilitator with The Compassionate Listening Project. He has also trained at Susan Scott's Fierce Conversations, Dominic Barter's Restorative Circles, Core Energetics, META (Mindful Experiential Therapy Approaches), Cortiva's 1,000-hour massage therapy program, and shamanism.Website: GilBarSela.com__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com

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

Dr. T and Truth Fairy return with the second half of their talk with guest Dottie, a highly experienced therapist specializing in Gestalt psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, and trauma-informed work. Dottie and Truth Fairy resume the story they were sharing in the first part about a rupture in a medicine session that they had to navigate together. The story leads to a vulnerable discussion about emotional regulation, acknowledgement of feelings, the importance of touch in medicine sessions, and a host of other vital variables to consider when working through the surfacing and healing of people's trauma. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and Dottie explore the complexities of relational dynamics, trauma, and healing, and Truth highlights the importance of understanding the multiple factors at play in any relationship, emphasizing that true repair involves mutual learning and deep understanding of the other person's experiences. She explains how her own work with trauma, particularly infant trauma, has taught her to recognize the small gestures and subtle cues that can create or repair ruptures in neural connectivity. This attentiveness allows her to approach therapy with greater sensitivity and presence.Dottie and Truth Fairy each share personal experiences that stress the significance of creating safe spaces for emotional regulation and healing, especially in moments of fear and dissociation. Dottie explains her hypervigilance toward abandonment and how this affects her relationships. She stresses the importance of a therapist's full presence to help clients feel secure. Dr. T brings up the potential risks in psychedelic therapy if practitioners fail to integrate a developmental trauma lens, urging more training and awareness in this field. This episode touches on how therapists, through their own healing, can better support clients in addressing trauma, ensuring safe and effective therapeutic experiences.“... the journey that we both have been on in the last couple of months has just been profound in being so committed to this process of repair. And I know that I keep banging on the word repair. But for me, I think that what's becoming clear is, is something that I really hold of high value as a therapist working with clients is in relationships with other people, the importance of holding space for others when there has been a rupture, and to hold that space of repair. And to be honest, this is what I have really learned from you” - Dottie__Resources discussed in this episode:“Hunter, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans” by Michaeleen DoucleffEpisode 36: Poly Roles and Relationship in Psychedelic Healing with Dottie, Part 1__Contact Punk Therapy:Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapyWebsite: PunkTherapy.comEmail: info@punktherapy.com

Kathryn Solie is widely known for her work as a "poisonous" plant educator. She feels that her current mission is to foster a greater cultural understanding of certain aspects of plant consciousness and, ultimately, to help build a community of unique practitioners who engage in dialogue, learn from, and support one another, both in their commonalities and differences.She believes that together, we can recover the most ancient human lineage—our relationship to the wisdom of the plant kingdom.Kathryn studied painting at Naropa University, a Buddhist-inspired school in Boulder, Colorado, completed a sacred plant medicine apprenticeship with the Gaia School of Healing in Putney, Vermont, and underwent training in Hakomi, a mindfulness-based, body-centered psychotherapy. While all of these trainings have influenced her work, they pale in comparison to what she has learned from the plants themselves.Episode Highlights▶ How Kathryn got started with poisonous plants and the teachings they have for us around fear▶ How these plants can bring us to those threshold places within our own psyches▶ The role psychedelics play in healing and how Kathryn uses them in her work ▶ The major piece of integration missing in the psychedelic space right now▶ The power of Hakomi and the therapeutic practices that can be used for healing purposes ▶ The ability you have to lose yourself with these plants and the connection to trauma ▶ How poisonous plants are used in the medicine world for different purposes▶ The work Kathryn does in her classes and how she safely introduces people to the world of poisonous plants▶ Upcoming classes Kathryn has available and the different ways you can work with herKathryn Solie's Links & Resources▶ Website: kathrynsolie.com▶ Instagram: https://instagram.com/persephonespath▶Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/persephonespath0▶YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1800CallKathryn▶ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@1800callkathryn Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into a Transformational Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ The True Path Entrepreneur Group Business Mastermind Program: https://bethaweinstein.com/mastermind▶ Beth's Other Programs & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Beth Weinstein's Instagram: http://instagram.com/bethaweinstein▶ Beth on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bethw.nychttps://www.facebook.com/BethWeinsteinbiz▶ Join Beth's FREE Psychedelics & Purpose Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PsychedelicsandSacredMedicines

These seemingly small factors all play a large part when it comes to our health and longevity. Because of this, Dr. G has shifted from working with patients to focusing his energy on mass education. He has become a trusted voice in the auditing of healthy brands so that the consumer is empowered to make the best choice for themselves and their families.He is also the host of a weekly podcast called Heal Thy Self, which focuses on giving people the tools they need to truly heal from the inside out and highlights some of the top medical professionals in the industry.Dr. Christian Gonzalez has been featured in countless media outlets including MSN, the LA Times, Shape, and more..
