Send us a textIn today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we’re talking about a few counterintuitive ideas or paradoxes that one might encounter on their personal growth or healing journey. Due to their paradoxical nature, these ideas can be difficult to accept. Ideas like, “only when I accept myself as I am do I then have the freedom to change” can be confusing at first glance. Reid and I attempt to clarify a few of the most common and important paradoxes in today’s episode and we hope you find it useful. For those of you who are new to the show, welcome!

Send us a textIn today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we’re talking about unfinished business. Now I don’t mean “unfinished business” in the hyper-aggressive revenge film kind of way. No, we’re talking about unresolved emotions, memories, or conflicts from the past that intrude on the present causing us to wonder why we keep doing, thinking, and/or feeling things even though it doesn’t serve us. We explore why this happens and what to do about it from a variety of therapeutic perspectives including Gestalt, psychoanalytic, IFS, CBT, and psychedelic-assisted. For those of you who are new to the show, welcome!

Send us a textDo you ever feel like something is wrong with you? Like if you were just able to fix the way you think, feel, or behave then you would finally enjoy peace, connection, and freedom? Perhaps you’ve even gone to therapy with this intention and worked hard to heal traumas, challenge negative thinking, and establish healthier habits. But what if you aren’t actually broken? What if you are already whole and free? In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we explore Eastern philosophies of non-dual awareness, resistance, attachment, surrender, and freedom and discuss how they can be integrated with modern Western psychotherapy. For those of you who are new to the show, welcome!

Send us a textHave you ever been accused of being insecure? It’s something, if we’re being honest with ourselves, nearly all of us struggle with. I’m not smart enough, attractive enough, rich enough, successful enough. It seems like there are an infinite number of rulers that prove how poorly we measure up. But where do these insecurities come from? Why do we often feel so inadequate? And perhaps most importantly, how can we overcome our insecurities? In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we try to answer these questions and more. For those of you who are new to the show, welcome!

Send us a textThe human mind is a meaning-making machine. It does its best to make sense out of the constant barrage of information flooding it moment to moment. One of the ways your mind does this is by creating and using filters. These filters go by many names: cognitive bias, heuristics, core beliefs, values, narratives, prejudice, etc. In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we explore how these filters work for us and against us and discuss how you can become the author of your own internal story.For those of you who are new to the show, welcome!
