62. Exposing Facilitator Abuse in Psychedelic Healing Ft. Dr. Randall and Jenny Hansen


Listen Later

This week's episode takes a deep dive into a topic rarely discussed openly: Facilitator Abuse in the world of psychedelic healing. Joining us are two remarkable guests, Dr. Randall and Jenny Hansen, who have experienced firsthand the unsettling realities of sitting with an unqualified or problematic provider.


Jenny, a mental health advocate and military veteran supporter, and Dr. Randall, an esteemed thought leader and author in trauma healing, bring their stories to light. Their journey took an unexpected turn when they sought to explore the healing potential of Ayahuasca, under the guidance of a facilitator who came highly recommended.


What follows is a series of disturbing events that shatter their expectations and expose the dark side of psychedelic healing. As the Hansens unravel their story, you'll be left in disbelief at the red flags that surface along the way. 


From the facilitator's ego-driven behavior to the shocking suppression of emotional releases during the ceremony, this episode reveals the harsh reality of sitting with an unqualified and self-serving guide. You'll learn about how power dynamics come into play, causing participants to question their own intuition and struggle to assert themselves.


But this episode isn't just about shedding light on the darkness; it's about understanding why it's crucial to address this issue. Nicholas and his guests courageously navigate this difficult terrain, sharing their insights and experiences to raise awareness about facilitator abuse.
