Integrating Psychedelics

“And now 40 years later, thousands of parts and thousands of people using this all over the world, we can safely say that Self is in everybody; it can’t be damaged, it knows how to heal, and it is just beneath the surface of these parts…and psychedelics seem to have a way to access that pretty quickly.”

Welcome to Integrating Psychedelics, featuring insights gleaned from psychedelic experiences and conversations around how to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives. I'm your host, Jenny Weinar, and in today's episode I'm speaking with Dick Schwartz.

Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, is the creator of Internal Family Systems, a highly effective, evidence-based therapeutic model that de-pathologizes the multi-part personality. His IFS Institute offers training for professionals and the general public. He is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and has published five books, including No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model. Dick lives with his wife Jeanne near Chicago, close to his three daughters and his growing number of grandchildren.

“I do believe there is energy transferred along with music and the energy of the artist who wrote it; the intention that they put into the song carries through with it and you can hear those things and note how they make you feel.”

Welcome to Integrating Psychedelics, featuring insights gleaned from psychedelic experiences and conversations around how to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives. I'm your host, Jenny Weinar, and in today's episode I'm speaking with Allison Soeung.

Allison Soeung is a Licensed Sound Therapist and DJ based out of Northwest Arkansas. Allison has had a lifelong love affair with music. She played classical piano from age 6 to 18, when she traded in her piano for a set of DJ turntables, and has been performing music at diverse events from yoga festivals to nightclubs and music festivals ever since. She has always been a mystic at heart, and after the sudden and tragic death of her younger brother by suicide in 2015, she began devoting herself to a path of healing. After hearing about the potential of ketamine therapy in assisting with treatment-resistant depression (which her brother suffered from), Allison became passionate about curating sonic journeys to support the healing potential of this medicine. Today she enjoys curating ketamine therapy playlists that surprise and delight, facilitating sound bath meditations, and DJing at conscious dance events.

“In traditional, more formal therapy, most of us are taught in school, ‘It’s a slippery slope to sexual abuse, don’t touch your clients’…In psychedelic therapy, there’s an understanding: touch can be beneficial…Deciding to not use an intervention based on your fear of litigation is not ethical.”

*Formerly Everyday Nonordinary The Podcast* Welcome to Integrating Psychedelics, featuring insights gleaned from psychedelic experiences and conversations around how to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives. I'm your host, Jenny Weinar, and in today's episode I'm speaking with Valeria McCarroll.

Valeria McCarroll, LMFT, Ph.D., is a professor of somatic and transpersonal psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice. She has been immersed in the field of psychedelic work for over a decade. A graduate of CIIS's Certificate in Psychedelic Therapies and Research, Valeria also serves as the Embodied Wisdom Advisor for Synthesis Institute in their Psychedelic Practitioner Training program. She is formally trained in a school of classical Shakta-Shaiva Tantra. Her personal experience of awakening while working with psychedelics led her to pursue a doctoral degree. That research served as the ground that eventually gave rise to the body of offerings she stewards, Somadelics. Somadelics is a contemporary path of psychedelic mysticism that makes use of the capacity of psychedelics to transform the traumas of embodied systemic oppression. Valeria lives in Northern California with her husband and daughter. When not innovating and refining liberative systems for deconstructing the patriarchy, she enjoys playing outdoors and creating beauty.

I could listen to Valeria speak for hours, and in this conversation we discuss:
