Epi 29: “From Drugs to Medicine: Psychedelics and the Return of Spirit”
Epi 29: “From Drugs to Medicine: Psychedelics and the Return of Spirit”
This week on The Rebel Clinicians, Alex and John take you into the transformative world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy--a realm where ancient plant wisdom meets modern therapeutic insight.
In this unscripted, richly personal conversation, your hosts explore the shifting perception of psychedelics from "dangerous drugs" to powerful medicines for healing trauma, depression, and anxiety. Drawing from their own journeys and experiences in both clinical settings and sacred ceremonies, they unpack the real-world challenges and extraordinary potential of working with substances like psilocybin, ayahuasca, ketamine, and San Pedro.
You'll hear stories about ego, fear, spirit guides, jaguars (yes, jaguars), and how sometimes, the most healing part of a journey comes after the trip. The episode also touches on the crucial roles of intention, preparation, ceremony, and integration--and what happens when these are missing.
Whether you're a clinician curious about therapeutic applications or someone exploring psychedelics for personal healing, this conversation invites you to reconsider what it means to heal--and who gets to guide that journey.
