The Psychedelic Psychologist

Welcome to your weekly dose of The Psychedelic Psychologist. This week we meet Travis and he will walk with us on a multiple episode journey towards wholeness. This episode is the invitation. Feeling Lost and Finding HopeForty-eight hours ago, Travis found himself in an emotional abyss. Lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, He found himself confronting dark thoughts and an unsettling reality. The thought of never having another drink seemed unbearable, and he didn't know how to live without alcohol. At the same time, he was haunted by the certainty that if he took another drink, He'd be risking the loss of his family. This internal tug-of-war left him contemplating a life that felt increasingly suffocating.The Turning PointBut today is different. "Here I sit, feeling a mix of relief and newfound strength, much like receiving a miraculous call from a hospital saying family members feared lost in an accident were actually safe."Seeing Dr. Ryan's face anew reminded me that there's an answer—a path back to feeling free and starting anew. It reinforced the calming energy that I'd forgotten.Looking for psychedelic integration support please visit healingsoulsll.com

Welcome to your weekly dose of The Psychedelic Psychologist. This week we drop in and visit Kaya. Kaya has been devoted to her healing her entire life and specifically integrating with psychedelics for the last 5 years. Rediscovering Inner ResonanceIn our journey through life, we often encounter moments that challenge our sense of belonging within a community. This is an invitation to dive deep within ourselves, to ask, "What am I seeing? What am I feeling?" It's a courageous inquiry, especially when those feelings don't align with the dominant atmosphere around us. But remember, it's perfectly okay if it doesn't feel good to you while everyone else seems at peace. This realization is pure magic—a resonating consent with oneself.The Full Body YesThere's power in listening to your body, to feel that full-body 'yes.' As Kaya reflects on her journey over the past five years, She shares the privilege to walk with individuals who have taught her the importance of this inner alignment. Recognizing what resonates required an inward journey—an inward exploration that demanded narrowing her circle and seeking guidance from just a few trusted souls.If you are looking for guidance and support integrating psychedelics.

Welcome to your weekly dose of The Psychedelic Psychologist. This week we dive in with Amy. Embracing 'The Now Path'The "Now Path" is a journey filled with compassion, particularly compassion for oneself. In the past, I may have reserved my compassion solely for others, but the 'now' demands self-compassion. It means accepting our past lessons, celebrating our growth, and not being defined by past injustices or regrets. The present moment is where our power lies, where we have the most control—control that can manifest in healthy ways, like managing what we consume or ensuring we don't overexert ourselves.Choosing Gentleness and PerspectiveIn the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's crucial to consciously choose gentleness and pause. Taking a moment, a simple breath, can transform our reactions and open us to new perspectives. We have the power to choose how we perceive events and how they affect us, even when our nervous system seems to resist. By acknowledging the various perspectives available to us, we reclaim our power.Looking for integration support please visit healingsoulsllc.com or grab a copy of The Psychedelics Integration Handbook 

Welcome to your weekly dose of The Psychedelic Psychologist. This week we drop in with Guy. A passionate spirit who tells his story of overcoming addiction and finding happiness. Sharing that with the psychedelic experiences he now is touching emotions he has never felt. A Reflection on Family and EmpathyIn the journey towards healing and sobriety, one often revisits the past, shedding light on relationships and the depths of personal experiences. For Guy, reflecting on his relationship with his father was a profound step in this journey. Coming from a challenging background, his father had always been a figure of resilience, surviving a difficult, alcohol-ridden upbringing. Understanding his struggles has deepened Guy's empathy not just for him, but for himself and others as well.Sometimes, external forces prompt us to change direction—much like how a turtle may need a nudge to divert its lifelong path. This metaphor resonates, symbolizing those unexpected influences that alter our trajectory for the better. The Role of Psychedelics in HealingThe debate around the use of psychedelics in treatment often involves preconceived notions. I believe that with respect and careful consideration, psychedelics can play a beneficial role in sobriety. Contrary to substances with addictive qualities, I find that psychedelics like mushrooms do not foster dependency. They offer a transformative experience, shifting mindsets and providing unique benefits without the pull of habit formation.Choosing to engage with psychedelics comes with responsibility. For me , it’s crucial to have a clear intention, seeking growth rather than escapism. This approach ensures that the experience is enriching and purposeful.If you're looking for psychedelic integration support please visit healingsoulsllc.com or grab your copy of The Psychedelics Integration Handbook
