Healing Hack: EMDR meets Microdosing

In this heartfelt episode of A Trauma Survivor Thriver’s Podcast, host Lorilee Binstock is joined by Cali, Art Director of Authentic Insider magazine, to share their deeply personal healing journeys.

Cali opens up about a transformative summer that included weaning off Zoloft, exploring psilocybin microdosing, and working through EMDR therapy to release painful memories from her teenage years. She describes how these experiences helped her quiet her inner critic, make clearer decisions, and embrace compassion and acceptance for herself.

Lorilee also shares how psychedelics and Internal Family Systems Therapy helped her connect with, and ultimately heal, her own angry part, as well as her difficult journey weaning off of Zoloft. Together, they explore how alternative therapies like EMDR and psychedelics can support trauma survivors in building resilience, self-awareness, and emotional freedom.

Stay tuned for the next episode, featuring guest Amanda Carrasco, a powerful survivor whose story of loss and restorative justice offers profound lessons on healing and courage.
