“How to Speak to Your Doctor About Intentional Psychedelic Use” with co-hosts Nicholas and Jimmy Nguyen, explores nuances of navigating the developing intersection of traditional western healthcare and psychedelic healing. 

They begin by discussing the breadth in which a licensed healthcare provider is legally allowed to help in the psychedelic healing process, and how to get answers to your questions without overstepping boundaries. What kinds of healthcare providers offer the best support for psychedelic therapy, and what type of specialist can address your specific needs?

Our hosts share cues that can indicate when your established support system is fulfilling your needs, verses when you need to make adjustments. This is how you, your facilitator, and your healthcare provider can work in tandem to customize an appropriate care plan.

Finally, Nicholas and Jimmy offer resources for those looking to taper off of antidepressants, but aren’t receiving sufficient support and guidance from their doctor. How can you speak to a healthcare provider about psychedelic therapy, while staying in integrity and within professional boundaries?

“The Emerging Lexicon of Psychedelic Therapy” is a conversation hosted by Jimmy Nguyen and Nicholas on the lack of continuity among common words and phrases used to discuss psychedelic therapy, and how different interpretations can lead to different expectations. 

Using their own experiences, they discuss “psychedelic therapy” as an umbrella term for guided psychedelic experience, and describe what it means to them. They analyze how context and standards help to define the specificity of therapy, and why it is so helpful to establish agreed-upon therapeutic language. 

The conversation covers Jimmy and Nicholas’ interpretations of different therapeutic psychedelic approaches and treatments. They describe how psychedelic experiences vary from clinical settings to international retreats, and explain the vocabulary that surrounds each option.

Later, they explain how to take matters into your own hands by defining what therapeutic healing looks like to you. How do you navigate a landscape that hasn’t been fully paved yet? How can you name and describe the exact type of psychedelic experience that you’re looking for?

“Navigating Power Dynamics in Psychedelic Therapy” is a topic seldom covered, but wholly embedded into the journeyer-facilitator relationship. Our hosts dive into the vulnerable nature of psychedelic experiences and the importance of having a facilitator who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional. 

Jimmy and Nicholas discuss the spectrum of power dynamic violations, the subtle and imperceptible forms of facilitator abuse, ranging from being too directive in the healing process to tangible abuses such as sexual, financial, or physical abuse. 

After highlighting key questions that journeyers should ask when finding the right facilitator, our hosts analyze whether or not facilitator training programs are a safeguard against power dynamics. What are the best ways to vet a facilitator based on training, background, and experience?

Later, Jimmy and Nicholas discuss how Psychedelic Passage addresses and mitigates power dynamics in their network of facilitators. How can journeyers ensure that clear ground rules and boundaries are set in place to remove as many power-imbalance variables as possible?
