127 | Fear vs Danger in Psychedelic Medicine Work


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into a crucial topic that doesn’t get talked about enough: how to differentiate between fear and danger when working with psychedelics.

This episode was inspired by my coach training at iPEC and the powerful concept of Fearlessness—the idea that fear is a projection of the mind, not a present-moment truth.

Understanding the difference between fear and danger can literally be the difference between a transformative psychedelic experience and a traumatizing one. And the line between the two is not always clear—especially when psychological or energetic safety is involved.


Topics Covered:

  • Why fear is natural (and even healthy) when approaching psychedelic work
  • How danger shows up in the psychedelic space—from unsafe facilitators to inadequate screening
  • Clear examples of fear vs. danger in ceremony settings
  • Why mistaking one for the other could cost you transformation—or your safety
  • How prep coaching can help you work with fear and protect yourself from danger
