23. 4 Lies You’ve Been Told About Psychedelics

In this episode, I break down the four biggest myths that keep people stuck, especially folks dealing with PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, and the heavy “I’ve tried everything” fatigue.

We’re talking straight: plant medicine isn’t just for Navy SEALs, you’re not “too fucked up” for healing, a big trip isn’t a magical reset button, and you don’t have to run off to Peru or blow up your life to get better. 

I share real stories from our clients to show how challenging memories can come up without re-traumatizing you ... and why the real results come from what you do before and after: preparation, support, and actual integration. 

Also: healing can be boring as hell sometimes… and that’s where the magic hides.
