This week's show is with Susan Guner. Susan is a trained, somatic, trauma-informed holistic psychotherapist with a mindfulness-based approach grounded in Transpersonal Psychology that focuses on holistic perspective through introspection, insight, and compassionate self exploration to increase self-awareness, allowing the integration of the mind, body and spirit aspects of human experience in personal growth and development. In this show, Susan and Lian explored psychedelic medicines as an alternative path to treating cancer and its causes. Susan's understanding of the research that's been done in this area and her own experience of supporting people with cancer. When we agree to record on this topic, Susan and I both knew it would be an edge, cancer is a very sensitive subject and the angle we're exploring isn't exactly mainstream, added to which modern understanding and research around using psychedelics in this way is very nascent. We knew there could be some things that were shared that could be triggering, and also there might be things that were shared now that could turn out to be different in time, with more experience and knowledge. Despite this, we agreed that we wanted to do record this now anyway as it felt so necessary and important to get this knowledge out there. We did so and went there fully and openly, without much in the way of caveats which would have made the conversation safer and more palatable but would have meant the message was diluted. I understand that the way we spoke could come across as insensitive and so it feels important to say that we are coming from deep compassion and the strong intention for this episode to be as serving as possible to those with cancer. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: We are discovering that psychedelic medicines appear to be a match for cancer, among other things - this is a reclamation of ancient gnosis, knowing we can work with the natural world to find the match between illness and medicine in this way The medicine has the intelligence to go where it needs to and work at the necessary level - Susan's seen that with cancer, it's mainly physical initially, not psychological It's important to recognise that this is about creating a relationship with the medicines, seeing them as allies and entering into a reciprocal, honouring relationship Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Susan Guner's Official Website: Psychedelic Conversations LinkedIn Susan Guner's social media accounts you might want to follow: Instagram Twitter Facebook YouTube Podcast Blog Thank you for listening!

This week's show is with Susan Guner. Susan is a trained, somatic, trauma-informed holistic psychotherapist with a mindfulness-based approach grounded in Transpersonal Psychology that focuses on holistic perspective through introspection, insight, and compassionate self exploration to increase self awareness, allowing the integration of the mind, body and spirit aspects of human experience in personal growth and development. In this show, we explored how Susan arrived at working with microdosing, after long experience of using traditional therapies and somatic work to heal trauma, the dangers of taking big doses of psychedelics and how we can use microdosing in an effective and safe way. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: So much of our unwanted patterns are due to trauma, which most forms of healing work we try - especially if they only deal the mind, don't really address - this is often what brings people to psychedelics and plant medicine - they create entropy that allows them to reach the parts that other things can't. The challenge with this approach though is people taking massive amounts of psychedelic medicines and not seeming to change or heal but if anything, egos can become more amplified and more bypassing occurs - psychedelic narcissism. People have these ineffable experiences as they sit with these potent medicines, to only come back to their toxic environment and dive straight back into their old patterns. The power of microdosing is that we can create the journey in a way that allows for the rupture and breaking down of the old patterns and contains ongoing holding within an intentional community, support, guidance and integration Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Susan Guner's Official Website: Psychedelic Conversations LinkedIn Susan Guner's social media accounts you might want to follow: Instagram Twitter Facebook YouTube Podcast Blog Thank you for listening!
