Sex Love Psychedelics

138: Psychedelics, Resurfacing Trauma, + Healing through Community with Lauren Taus


Listen Later

What happens when someone takes psychedelics + they experience painful memories or an overload of emotion + thoughts that they aren’t equipped to handle by themselves?

Lauren Taus, psychedelics assisted therapist, educator, advocate + founder of In-bodied life, joins me to dive into the relationship of psychedelics + trauma. 

We get deep into some conversations about how psychedelics effect on our brain + body, which substances do we see as having a greater effect in working with trauma, what resources help support someone going through the healing work + much more. 


In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The clinical perspective on “trauma” - (What happens to a person after the happening)

  • Layers + variations of forms of trauma that exist (Individual, generational + systemic)

  • How psychedelics heal trauma stored in the body

  • The impact of psychedelics on our nervous system

  • Navigating “bad trips” + reframing to ultimately be generative for our growth

  • The potency of preparation, supportive relationships + love

  • How can someone support themselves when trauma spontaneously resurfaces?

  • What does integration look like for individuals who experience new memories or traumas unlocked by the psychedelics? 

  • Spiritually bypassing versus doing “the work” from a spiritual lens

  • Honoring our traditions, ritual + ceremony from a place of authenticity 

  • Navigating the cultural appropriation of indigenous practices + healing our ancestral shame

  • Systemic trauma for the communities of color + how to become stronger allies


  • THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTS
