What happens when someone takes psychedelics + they experience painful memories or an overload of emotion + thoughts that they aren’t equipped to handle by themselves?
Lauren Taus, psychedelics assisted therapist, educator, advocate + founder of In-bodied life, joins me to dive into the relationship of psychedelics + trauma.
We get deep into some conversations about how psychedelics effect on our brain + body, which substances do we see as having a greater effect in working with trauma, what resources help support someone going through the healing work + much more.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The clinical perspective on “trauma” - (What happens to a person after the happening)
Layers + variations of forms of trauma that exist (Individual, generational + systemic)
How psychedelics heal trauma stored in the body
The impact of psychedelics on our nervous system
Navigating “bad trips” + reframing to ultimately be generative for our growth
The potency of preparation, supportive relationships + love
How can someone support themselves when trauma spontaneously resurfaces?
What does integration look like for individuals who experience new memories or traumas unlocked by the psychedelics?
Spiritually bypassing versus doing “the work” from a spiritual lens
Honoring our traditions, ritual + ceremony from a place of authenticity
Navigating the cultural appropriation of indigenous practices + healing our ancestral shame
Systemic trauma for the communities of color + how to become stronger allies
