31. Healing PTSD in a Relationship: Why Your Partner Has to Be In the Loop

“Hey honey… I met a stranger online and I’m gonna pay them lots of money to help me learn about drugs.”

If that’s how you’re planning to tell your spouse you’re exploring plant medicine for PTSD/CPTSD, please don’t.

In this episode, I talk about the real make-or-break factor in healing while you’re in a relationship: your partner doesn’t have to do psychedelics… but they DO need to be aware, supportive, and not actively sabotaging the process.

I share what I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks talking with spouses of people joining our program and why I actually prefer speaking to your husband/wife/partner before you commit, and what can go sideways when you don’t.

We get into the “crabs in a bucket” dynamic, the difference between skepticism vs. sabotage, and why bringing your partner into the conversation often leads to better outcomes, especially when you’re working through trauma, anxiety, depression, moral injury, brain fog, and integration after psychedelics.

I also share a few real stories of couples who went from “support role” to “holy shit, I want this too.”
