Psychedelic Reflections on Anxiety and Healing

In this enlightening episode, join me and my friend Payam - a globally renowned psychedelic-assisted therapy expert - as we dive deep into the realms of healing through psychedelic-assisted therapy and internal family systems.

My own harrowing yet enlightening experiences with psychedelics like LSD and Ayahuasca carved a path to understanding anxiety not just mentally, but physically.

We share our insights on dealing with internal and external stressors in both genders, societal pressures, exploring the intricacies of trauma, the role of our subconscious mind, and the potential yet respectful use of sacred medicines in therapy, highlighting that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process.

Listen, as we weave through our stories and expertise, possibly shining a light on new perspectives and pathways towards understanding mental health and healing.

Healing Anxiety: Embracing the Alarm

In this episode, we explore the profound connection between anxious thoughts and the ALARM sensation stored in our bodies since childhood.

Surprisingly, that very ALARM sensation is your inner child or younger self.

When we feel this alarm, our instinct is to go into our heads and worry – a coping mechanism from our childhood that only intensifies our anxiety as adults.

To heal, you must find the alarm (and therefore your younger self) in your body and STAY with it WITHOUT reflexively going up in to your head with worry.

When you stay with the alam, you metabolize and neutralize it and rob the worries of their energy source and that is how you truly heal from chronic worry.

Tune in as we delve into this transformative journey of embracing the alarm, nurturing our inner child, and discovering the path to healing from chronic anxiety.

Breaking the Silence: Exploring Hidden Trauma in ”Good” Childhoods

Many people I encounter express that their childhoods were positive, yet they continue to experience trauma. There are a couple of reasons why this might occur.

Firstly, some people may have difficulty recognizing the presence of their own trauma. It can be challenging to acknowledge and process the painful experiences from our pasts.

Secondly, individuals might not have been aware that they experienced a significant separation from their parent(s) during their formative years.

Alternatively, they may have inherited trauma from their parents and grandparents, which can deeply impact their well-being.

Recognizing the origin of our trauma can be immensely beneficial in addressing and healing chronic emotional dysregulation.

It is important to remember that you might be carrying the weight of something that was never meant to be yours to bear in the first place.
