How psychedelics help release traumatic residue has been the subject of many previous and ongoing research studies. Today, our hosts will discuss the unique ways in which psychedelics promote emotional catharsis through somatic processes.

Through the lens of Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger, they’ll explore why trauma remains stagnant in the human body for so long, compared to wild animals. How have social constructs conditioned us to not only repress trauma, but to feel guilt and shame in its somatic release?

Jimmy and Nicholas talk about the noticeable ways in which trauma is carried in the body and address questions surrounding psychedelic retraumatization. How can this traumatic residue be released in and out of a psychedelic experience and what is the importance of these practices during psychedelic integration?

Our hosts will also discuss common barriers to traumatic release, in the context of both intentional and recreational psychedelic experiences. What can journeyers do to move through those obstacles with mindfulness and proper support? To finish off, they’ll offer tangible advice for navigating emotional catharsis and ensuring a fluid transition between altered states of consciousness.
