“There is nothing more extraordinary than, when you can resource your body enough, get enough support, to embody the people that have harmed you. It's such a lesson in understanding intergenerational trauma. That there are no villains or victims.

Truth Fairy and Dr. T welcome Brett to the podcast to talk about his journey in “coming out from under the rocks”, which is to say emerging from the underground. Brett has studied, refined, and used a broad range of substances and practices and he helps people find a framework for holding their experience in both the mind and body. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and Brett have a very open discussion about the path of a psychedelic therapist.Brett shares how he approaches working with a client and what medicines he recommends to open their journey with a calm headspace and a clear mind. He encourages time in nature during the treatment and describes walking close to a beautiful river. He has spent almost twenty years, ten of which have been with his wife and partner, developing a framework for working with various medicines that is uniquely suited to each client's needs. This methodical yet flexible approach allows for slowing thoughts down and opening consciousness to true understanding.The conversation includes breaking down the different consciousness states, child consciousness, adult consciousness, and somatic consciousness, how to translate experiences had on medicine into daily non-medicated life, and how to stabilize clients. Brett approaches his psychedelic therapy practices from a Buddhist-influenced perspective with a focus on sourcing his own medicines. Truth Fairy, Dr. T and Brett connect in very real ways over shared theories and beliefs about healing.“I have actually asked [my trusted peers] if this gets off the rails, if I look like I'm not being authentic and acting with integrity, I expect you to tell me. I think there's a chance if you don't have that structure, that safety net, then it can get weird. We can create ideas that are just not helpful for ourselves and our clients. I think that there's a real opportunity when we're self-taught and self-directed to cultivate our own personal strengths and really to find that approach, that unique gift that we bring to the table.” - Brett---Punk Therapy: website |email

I am so honored to share this conversation with a gem of a human, Lauren Taus. Lauren integrates modern science and ancient wisdom to support the personal transformation as a Psychedelic Therapist, Educator, and Speaker who hosts retreats and trainings all over the world. In this episode, we talk about the psychedelic space and plant medicines, her work with people across mental health realms as the founder of Inbodied Life, and the importance of a connection to life. Intergenerational healing dives into the multilayered aspects of the human condition. Lauren shares her transition from social work into psychotherapy, as well as how psychoactive substances were fused into her career trajectory. Lauren and I also dig into who psychedelics are for and who they may not be for, and the lessons Lauren learned through plants and mushrooms along her journey. We are all storytellers, and we all make up stories as well as have stories from our ancestral lines and those before us. Lauren believes we are all carrying content that isn't actually ours. When we can start to separate from it, we can heal — and in turn, our individual healing can become the collective healing. This is a really deep conversation about the psychedelic space and Lauren's experience with it, as further wisdom to share with the patients and clients she serves today. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Gratitude and reclaiming self-expression and joy Lauren's approach as a therapist to support presence and identify patterns Looking at mental health as a process that requires identification and interruption How preparation is essential for psychedelic and work, yet often missing How Lauren finds mutual comfortability to support her clients Navigating fear and perfectionism with self-love and care Lauren's work with entrepreneurs and business owners around hyper-performing The importance of connection to find the richness, fullness of life Resources Mentioned: Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) The Ketamine Training Center Dr. Gabor Maté Dr. Peter Levine Dr. Bessel Vander Kolk Guest Info: Follow Lauren on Instagram: @lauren.taus Learn more on Inbodied Life Psychedelic Therapy & Integration: training.inbodiedlife.com/ Work with Lauren: https://www.inbodiedlife.com/ Follow Me: Follow me on Instagram: @tonyapapanikolove Follow Rainbo on Instagram: @rainbomushrooms Shop Rainbo: rainbo.com

Debbie talks with Dr. Bree Johnston, a geriatrician and palliative care physician in practice for 35 years who is also certified in psychedelic therapies. This is a re-airing of an episode published one year ago.The topic of psychedelic therapy has gone mainstream in the past several years and especially in the past year. In the year since Debbie and Dr. Bree spoke, the use of psilocybin, MDMA and other psychedelics as therapy for addiction, depression and to ease fear of death has been increasingly in the news. The use of psilocybin is now legal or decriminalized in a handful of states in addition to Oregon.Dr. Bree is an especially clear speaker and talks openly about the benefits of her own psilocybin trips. She tells us she wishes she could prescribe them for her elderly patients who are anxious about dying.She explains everything you might want to know about different psychedelics, what their effects are, what to be wary of and more.As to how this topic fits into aging and reinvention, Debbie says were she to receive a fatal diagnosis from cancer or another disease, she's pretty sure she would seek a guided psilocybin trip to ease fear of dying.

Show Summary:“I struggled with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse for most of my adult life. While traditional medication and ayahuasca helped, they failed to address all of my issues. Working with my therapist on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy mostly cured my PTSD.”Mental health is a major health concern in our world today, affecting 1 in 3 Americans who suffer from anxiety and depression, costing billions to the economy. Despite this pressing issue, mental health treatment has seen little change in the past 50 years. Patients receive disjointed care, with very limited interaction between their therapist and prescriber, resulting in inadequate treatment.But there is hope. Psychedelics are a game-changing development in mental health treatment, representing the first significant shift in this field in half a century.Jonathan Sabbagh, founder of Journey Clinical, knows firsthand the transformative benefits of plant medicine and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). After experiencing burnout and receiving a difficult PTSD diagnosis, he left the world of finance to focus on his mental health. Now, his mission is to help licensed mental health professionals deliver KAP on a larger scale.Join us in this episode as we explore the power of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelics to revolutionize mental health treatment and offer much-needed support to those in need.Get a chance to win a free hair analysis from Provo Health by rating and leaving a review on Episode 63 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!Exceptional Highlights:Our lives are filled with various stressors that can take a toll on our mental health, making it crucial to seek support in times of crisis.Working with licensed mental health professionals trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy techniques such as CBT, harm reduction, and internal family systems can maximize the benefits of therapy.Effective psychedelic therapy is personalized, adapting to each patient's unique needs and experiences and empowering therapists to flexibly tailor their approach.Show Highlights: 05:08 - The pitfalls of diving into plant medicine or psychedelics without proper integration06:12 - Where can people find a therapist well-versed in psychedelics?06:54 - Why Jonathan left a successful finance career to pursue clinical psychology10:17 - The high cost of ignoring mental health 12:01 - The science behind ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and how it functions as an antidepressant and dissociative anesthetic 16:42 - Exploring the benefits of a collaborative care model 19:05 - Journey Clinical's comprehensive approach to patient care, including preparation, dosing, and integration sessions26:05 - Jonathan's thoughts on unethical ketamine clinics that provide little support or follow-up for patients29:04 - Psychedelics lower your defense mechanisms and allow you to access deeper aspects of yourself30:15 - A brief introduction to internal family systems as a powerful therapeutic modality Important Links: Journey Clinical - https://www.journeyclinical.cIT'S GIVEAWAY TIME!

“Navigating Power Dynamics in Psychedelic Therapy” is a topic seldom covered, but wholly embedded into the journeyer-facilitator relationship. Our hosts dive into the vulnerable nature of psychedelic experiences and the importance of having a facilitator who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional. Jimmy and Nicholas discuss the spectrum of power dynamic violations, the subtle and imperceptible forms of facilitator abuse, ranging from being too directive in the healing process to tangible abuses such as sexual, financial, or physical abuse. After highlighting key questions that journeyers should ask when finding the right facilitator, our hosts analyze whether or not facilitator training programs are a safeguard against power dynamics. What are the best ways to vet a facilitator based on training, background, and experience?Later, Jimmy and Nicholas discuss how Psychedelic Passage addresses and mitigates power dynamics in their network of facilitators. How can journeyers ensure that clear ground rules and boundaries are set in place to remove as many power-imbalance variables as possible?Additional Resources:Episode TranscriptWhat Qualities to Look for in a Psychedelic TherapistThe Difference Between a Psychedelic Therapist & a GuideExplore our Facilitator Referral Network About Us:Psychedelic Passage is the nation's first psychedelic concierge service.

Medicalized, Decriminalized, and Legalized Models: Kole explains that there are different models for psychedelic care: medicalized, decriminalized, and legalized. None of them is a total solution, and each has its problems. Limitations of Medicalized Models: Kole focuses on the limitations of medicalized models of care, where participants must qualify for treatment based on predetermined criteria. This means that only certain populations will have access to care due to location and financial access. Challenges for Psychedelic Therapists: Kole emphasizes the challenges that psychedelic therapists may face, such as finding a qualified mental health practitioner in areas where they are scarce, and dealing with insurance and billing issues. Additionally, certified training programs can have waitlists of up to a year, and even after completing the program, there is no guarantee of employment due to the legal status of psychedelics at the federal level. Conclusion: Kole warns potential psychedelic therapists to be aware of the challenges and potential scams in the field, but also encourages them to continue pursuing their passion for helping people. She believes that with education and collaboration, the psychedelic therapy community can overcome these challenges and make a positive impact on people's lives.

In today's transmission, Zahara sits with Psychedelic Therapist, Educator, and Speaker Lauren Taus. With Lauren being a sought-after psychedelic therapist, working alongside her dad, who also happens to be a pioneer in the legal psychedelic therapy space, you may think her life's always been sunshine and rainbows–but Lauren's no stranger to darkness. She spent her early years relentlessly striving to live up to her title as a ‘good girl,' chasing accolades, struggling with anorexia, and feeling empty inside. Since then, she's had many deaths, resurrections, and rebirths aided by both natural and synthetic psychedelics. Lauren explains why she chooses to embrace her entire emotional keyboard, how she's come to love her Jewish heritage, why she strongly opposes hierarchies of any form, and why she strives always to say ‘thank you,', especially during her most challenging moments.In this episode of The Dojo:Lauren's deaths, resurrections, and rebirths aided by psychedelicsTransferring ancestral pain and trauma into compassion and understanding Lauren's favorite Hebrew morning prayerHow ketamine, a dissociative, actually helps us feel more Synthetic vs. plant-based medicines and drug hierarchiesLauren's experience of tripping with, and working alongside, her dadResources:Apply for the January 2023 Dojo Masters ContainerConnect with Lauren:Spotify Playlist: Lauren In the DojoInstagram: @lauren.tausWebsite: Psychedelic Assisted Therapy & Integration TrainingConnect with Zahara:Instagram: @zaharazimringThe Dojo IG: @thedojocouncilWebsite: zaharazimring.comEmail: zahara@zaharazimring.com This show is produced by Soulfire Productions
Alex speaks with Garyth Moxey from Inner Reals Center, based in Vancouver B.C. They discuss: Garyth's upbringing in south-west England close to the Stonehenge Free Festival. What Ibogaine is. How it is used traditionally and as a form of treatment. Ibogaine as a successful treatment for addiction. 5-MEO DMT Garyth Moxey is a Canadian born entheogen provider and harm reduction activist based in Vancouver B.C. He is a Synthesis Institute trained psychedelic therapist. His journey with psychedelics started in the early 80's in the U.K. with Stonehenge Free Festival and the traveler community. After years spent traveling and living in South East Asia he found himself struggling with alcohol and a poly-drug addiction. Many failed rehab attempts and traditional recovery methods later, he took LSD therapeutically in Marin County in 2000 and ended his relationship with alcohol. After a brief opioid relapse in 2011 he took Iboga which made an incredible difference and set him on the path to his life's work. He co-formed Liberty Root after the Vancouver Ibogaine conference in 2012 and then went on to form Inner Realms Center in 2016. As of Jan 2022, Garyth has facilitated 375 Ibogaine treatments. He has also completed psychedelic psychotherapy fundamentals at the Orenda Institute, Cortez Island B.C. in the fall of 2016 and as of April 2022, completed a Psychedelic Therapist certificate program from Synthesis Institute. Garyth was also part of the award winning independent documentary, Dosed made to raise awareness about the healing powers of psychedelic medicine, and now Dosed II. He is also a medical cannabis activist and custom produces high-grade cannabis oil for clients dealing with a wide range of medical conditions. He now works tirelessly with his partner Blair and a variety of therapists to bring about positive lasting change in the people who have chosen to be his clientele.

In this episode of the podcast, I bring you a fantastic conversation with Valorie Masuda, Psychedelic Therapist with Roots to Thrive, “Roots to Thrive is Canada's first and only multidisciplinary, non-profit healthcare practice to legally offer evidence-informed, multi-week, group therapy programs that use a community of practice model, uniquely designed to address trauma and to promote resilience, and to also include the option of psilocybin-assisted and ketamine-assisted group therapy.” source: https://rootstothrive.com/about-us/what-is-roots-to-thrive/Valorie is a palliative care physician and general practitioner in oncology working in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. She is an Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of British Columbia currently working on a clinical trial demonstrating the feasibility of delivering psilocybin therapy in a group set, setting and integration model with Roots to Thrive. She is certified in psychedelic medicine through the California Institute of Integral Studies and has also received training through Therapsil and Roots to Thrive. Valorie is a Fellow of the College of Family Physicians, specializing in Emergency Medicine and Palliative Care.I am really excited to bring you this conversation. Those of you who have listened to the podcast know that, as a self experimenter, I have dabbled with the use of Psilocybin in microdoses as a way to manage depression and anxiety. Although we don't discuss microdosing in this episode, you will still find a ton of information and insight here as we discuss the use of psilocyban mushrooms in larger doses as a way to help patients deal with existential end of life mental health difficulties. The common thread through it all is that humans have lost their connection to one another. Human connection used to be vital for survival but is something we have lost through the way we now look at our lives with a colonial lense. We also discuss how our dismissal of indigenous culture has negatively affected our long term mental health with our disconnection from community and nature. We chat about how poor mental health is addressed with pharmacology rather than digging down to the roots of trauma and how natural medicinal compounds such as psilocybin can help.I've been wanting to share a conversation like this for some time and I'm so happy to be bringing this to you now.TherapsilRoots to ThriveMultidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic StudiesSave 15% at Redshift Sports when you use the code MB40Save 25% off a consultation at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Save 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Visit Rollingdale CycleThanks to Ottalaus Inc. for their support.Thanks to Spandex Panda for their support.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for supporting me!

Lauren Taus is a Psychedelic Therapist and Educator. She specializes in Ketamine Therapy and has also studied MDMA, psilocybin, ayahuasca and DMT. She believes that psychedelic medicines may be the most effective interventions for treating mental health and supporting well-being, and I totally agree. During the episode, Lauren talks about some of the countless benefits of psychedelic therapy and how it can create massive break throughs and help with PTSD. She also talks about the importance of integration in order to maximize the benefits of the medicine when returning to “real life”. This episode isn't made to convince you to seek this type of therapy, but just to help educate, inform and bring more awareness to this sacred form of healing. IG: @lauren.tausinbodiedlife.com
Today, Debbie talks with Dr. Bree Johnston, a geriatrician and a palliative care physician who is also certified in psychedelic therapies.In case you haven't noticed, the topic of psychedelic therapy has gone mainstream in the past several years. Taking a guided psilocybin trip is now viewed as a highly effective way to ease fear of dying. But it's complicated. It took Debbie several months to find just the right person to interview about the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics. Her research led her to Dr. Bree Johnston who is perfectly credentialed for this topic as well as being a notably clear and wise teacher for [B]OLDER podcast listeners. She's been a practicing physician for 35 years and recently became certified in Psychedelic Therapies and Research through the California Institute of Integral Studies.They talk about:- The problem of legality (she predicts psilocybin therapy will be legal in a few years)- Why psychedelic therapy is especially useful for older, dying patients- Her own psychonaut experiences- The dissolution of "self" and becoming part of a whole (a common experience on a psychedelic trip)- The current studies being done at Johns Hopkins and NYU- Microdosing- And her evaluation of which psychedelic therapies are currently most useful: psilocybin, MDMA (aka ecstasy), ketamine (not illegal but results can vary widely).They also explore the complexity that comes with medicalizing psychedelics as well as the ethics surrounding legalization. This is a highly informative conversation with a knowledgeable physician.

In the 21st Century, experts predict the growth of mental health treatments using psychedelics for clinical treatment of disorders such as depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and other challenges. Blossoming out of an extensive body of well-respected research, medical professionals are now using psychedelics as a tool for treatment-resistant disorders where pharmaceuticals may have failed to provide people with long-term healing. Today, ketamine is a legal and broadest available treatment option, while psilocybin and MDMA are on their path to gaining legal status in the U.S. In this episode, we discuss the extensive research and potential benefits that can be achieved with ketamine with Ronan Levy from Field Trip Health. In the Earthlings podcast, we talk about the challenges and opportunities coming in the 21st Century, and the information we have today to make better decisions for tomorrow. Hosts Lisa Ann Pinkerton (former award-winning NPR and PBS environmental science reporter) and Christian Roselund (founding editor of PV Magazine USA) take a close look at our relationships with technology, science, the planet, and each other.

Dr Watts is a clinical psychologist, a mother, and a nature lover. Her work as the Clinical Lead for Imperial College London's psilocybin trial, and subsequent role as the Clinical Director at Synthesis Institute, have made her one of the most prominent voices and minds in the field of psychedelic research. Dr Watts builds tools and structures to foster connectedness after psychedelic experiences, finding inspiration for their design from nature. The most recent of which is the integration community she's created - ACER Integration. While working in clinical practice Rosalind has developed a psychedelic therapy model she coined ACE, which stands for, ‘Accept, Connect, Embody'. Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the ‘Psychological Flexibility Model', she mapped the journey that individuals under the influence of a psychedelic go through when they dive into their experience, extract the meaningful lessons to heal, and then integrate and embody them afterwards. Her qualitative research, exploring the perspectives of participants in several psychedelic research studies, gave rise to her interest in the common theme of ‘connectedness to Self, others, and the world' as an essential aspect of psychedelic treatment. With that patient-centred attitude, she gives insightful talks focusing on the patients' perspective on the psychedelic journey as a part of the healing process.Listen to the podcast to learn about the beauty and the nuances of psychedelic experience and healing.Join Dr Watts for the inaugural launch of ACER Integration here -> https://dandelion.earth/events/622233b3025fc50011891f2e Learn more about ACER Integration -> https://www.drrosalindwatts.com/ Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)Psychedelic therapyForensic psychologyThe Portman ClinicPsychoanalysisPsychedelic use and recidivismAyahuascaMichael PollanRobin Carhart-HarrisMDMAMendel KaelenKintsugiPsilocybinBad tripWilliam A.

Summary:We talk with Dr. Glenn Hartelius — award-winning author, professor, and researcher — about attention strategies, and how psychedelics impacted his depression and migraines. We discuss a breathing exercise that improves sports performance, and how to shift consciousness to the felt-sense of the bodyHighlights:— NUGGET and NOODLE: Feds fund fungi for first time in 50 years (0:51)— Psychology of the felt-sense of the body (4:40)— Opening the control panel of your body and changing the state of your consciousness (6:18)— Information is not just about thoughts (9:42)— Glenn's experience with Ketamine addressing depression (11:38)— Glenn's breathing exercise for precision sports performance (16:28)— Psychedelics curing Glenn's migraines (23:52)— SOUL SEARCH: favorite book and top mind altering substance (24:53)— SLAP and a CLAP: Field Trip and TheraPsil (27:37)Dr. Glenn Hartelius:He is an award-winning scholar and researcher who has developed precise, step-by-step processes for accessing and using states of consciousness to cultivate exceptional human skills in leadership and performance—including how to use command presence, how to inspire, develop rapport with others, hold the attention of an audience, sustain focus, and access motivation and out of the box thinking. On the personal level, these skills help in developing quiet inner calm and authentic emotional and physical intimacy. This work is backed up with scientific research in the neuroscience and phenomenology of mindfulness, flow, and other exceptional states. As co-author of The Ketamine Papers and other ongoing research, Glenn is participating in the current revival of scientific interest in this legal and promising psychedelic antidepressant. His motivation in advancing the study of ketamine therapy is based on how quickly and effectively it can relieve symptoms of depression—often in just a few hours. He also works with FireflyVR as a content expert developing virtual reality education products to help individuals prepare themselves for ketamine therapy.As Main Editor of the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies, a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on whole person approaches to psychology and wellness, Glenn has brought this publication from fewer than 25 subscribers to almost 100,000 article downloads per year by nearly 50,000 total users. As former professor and founding chair of a PhD program in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology, he attracted more than 100 doctoral students to his doctoral program in just four years. As co-editor of The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Transpersonal Psychology, Glenn has played a key role in the revival of transpersonal psychology, and in identifying and cultivating a second wave of the field based on embodiment, social embeddedness, diversity, and transformation.Glenn is transitioning out of the university setting to spend more time doing scientific research and to give more room to his small boutique coaching practice where he teaches and applies the attentional skills he has developed. The skills that Glenn teaches are based in bottom-up emergence of one's own unique capacities and creativity—one that complements more conventional approaches to management of feelings and behavior. As such, working with Glenn is an entry onto a path that opens toward more integrated ways of bringing one's whole self to every area of life.

She explains how in her own journey, her views shifted from seeing her metamours as a threat to her relationship, to seeing them as friends, confidants, and part of her community. Tune in to hear how she communicated her jealousy to her partner and how she overcame the tendency to compare herself to her metas.

The demand for guided psychedelic journeys has continued to grow in the U.S. in recent years, and "underground" work has become increasingly mainstream. In today's episode I had the chance to interview my first guest on his work as an underground psychedelic therapist - his name is Noah. Like most people I know, he felt some kind of lack of meaning and purpose in his own life which led him to his first ceremonial psychedelic experience. It revealed the lack of his father's presence in his life, and their lack of connection. Over the years he was eventually able to explore plant medicine healing in a group ceremonial setting with most of his family members. Through this he realised the benefits and the potential of a more slowly opening arc in this kind of work vs. the current therapeutical model that fosters mystical experiences in one or two sessions to heal a specific psychiatric disorder or trauma. This has informed the way he now facilitates his own ceremonies for groups - largely with families - which focus on shared multi-generational plant medicine work that is supported and held by the safe container of a community on an ongoing basis. We talk about his PHD thesis on the topic and dig into his experiences and knowledge around the facilitation of these underground ceremonies and how he tries to create spaces for connection and what he calls “role dissolution”, where the structures of social reality are softened and where it becomes possible to re-articulate these structures so people can relate to each other and self in new ways. When I asked him about WHY he does that and why he takes so much risk in doing so his answer was quite simple. He said the results just speak for themselves and that it is the right thing to do. For me, our talk shed some new light on the phenomenon of people coming together as groups to do psychedelic work, acting as catalysts for each other's development over a longer period of time vs. one time use to treat a specific symptom or issue. I learned a lot in this talk and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

I get to sit down with Healing Mentor and Psychedelic Therapist, Andrea Kauwenhowen to discuss her story and experiences with ayahuasca and mushrooms and how that has helped her deal with the trauma she's had endure through her life, including the loss of her mother at such a young age. She talks about the tailspin that put her life into and how she had to remove herself from her surroundings and find a different path. Andrea explains how she ended up in Colombia and the stories of her searching for more and looking to make a connection with her mother on the other using psychedelics. In doing so, she became educated on the power of psychedelics and how they help heal her and others in dealing with trauma and other mental health issues. Such a powerful and personal story. www.uglygrowth.com IG: @uglygrowth
