Healing Through Psychedelics + Resiliency with Katie Baker (part 1)
What happens when the perfect façade finally cracks? Meet Katie Baker, a childhood abuse survivor who spent decades mastering the art of hiding trauma behind accomplishment and perfectionism until her own children noticed she was no longer truly present.
Katie joins us to share her remarkable journey of transformation through therapeutic psychedelics after traditional healing methods fell short. Following her son's heartfelt intervention during a family gathering, Katie embarked on what she calls her "year of healing" – a structured approach to recovery that involved ayahuasca ceremonies, integration therapy, and confronting the dark figure of her trauma that had been her constant companion.
The conversation takes us through Katie's complex childhood marked by sexual abuse, multiple family configurations, and the coping mechanisms she developed to appear "fine" to the outside world. With raw honesty, she reveals how her emotional bankruptcy became impossible to hide from those closest to her, ultimately leading to a profound awakening through psychedelic-assisted healing. Katie's story illuminates how trauma recovery often requires unconventional paths, especially for those who've become experts at deflecting conventional therapy.
What makes this episode particularly powerful is Katie's description of the community she found through the healing process – connections based not on profession or status but on authentic human struggle and resilience. Her memoir "When the Universe Holds Your Hair Back" chronicles this transformative journey, offering hope to others still wearing masks of their own.
Whether you're struggling with unresolved trauma, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about alternative healing modalities, Katie's story demonstrates that even at 47, profound healing and reconnection to self remains possible.
