In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we’re talking with psychotherapist, Curt Kearney, about his new book, “Psychedelics and Internal Family Systems (IFS): A partnership in relational healing.” IFS is a powerful therapy model that’s becoming very popular these days. When we talk about which psychotherapy models might pair well with psychedelic tools, IFS is usually somewhere near the top of the list. In his book and in this conversation, Curt draws from his extensive experience with psychedelics and as an IFS practitioner and trainer to walk us through how one might use IFS with psychedelic tools in a synergistic and relational way. Links to Curt’s website and his book are in the show notes.

We’re back with part 2 of our 2-part series on what all effective psychotherapies have in common. Last week we introduced you to the common factors research on psychotherapy outcomes, using the work of Dr. Jeffery Smith, MD to help us structure the conversation. We discussed how entrenched maladaptive patterns, fueled by affective avoidance, contribute to mental health conditions and how all good psychotherapy models help people generate awareness around those patterns, make contact with their emotions, and take deliberate steps to change those patterns in durable ways.
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we continue the conversation by diving a little deeper into memory reconsolidation, exposure-based therapies, the corrective emotional experience, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and other topics.

Pain is an unavoidable feature of life. Some would argue that the desire to avoid or stop pain is a foundational driver of most human behaviors. But what about when pain is chronic? How much does our attitude toward our pain affect our experience of pain? Can psychedelic treatments offer new ways to treat chronic pain conditions? What can mindfulness practices offer to a person in pain?
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we discuss these questions and more as we explore what it means to make peace with physical pain.

In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we’re talking about a few counterintuitive ideas or paradoxes that one might encounter on their personal growth or healing journey. Due to their paradoxical nature, these ideas can be difficult to accept. Ideas like, “only when I accept myself as I am do I then have the freedom to change” can be confusing at first glance. Reid and I attempt to clarify a few of the most common and important paradoxes in today’s episode and we hope you find it useful.

In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we’re talking about unfinished business. Now I don’t mean “unfinished business” in the hyper-aggressive revenge film kind of way. No, we’re talking about unresolved emotions, memories, or conflicts from the past that intrude on the present causing us to wonder why we keep doing, thinking, and/or feeling things even though it doesn’t serve us. We explore why this happens and what to do about it from a variety of therapeutic perspectives including Gestalt, psychoanalytic, IFS, CBT, and psychedelic-assisted.

Do you ever feel like something is wrong with you? Like if you were just able to fix the way you think, feel, or behave then you would finally enjoy peace, connection, and freedom? Perhaps you’ve even gone to therapy with this intention and worked hard to heal traumas, challenge negative thinking, and establish healthier habits. But what if you aren’t actually broken? What if you are already whole and free? 
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we explore Eastern philosophies of non-dual awareness, resistance, attachment, surrender, and freedom and discuss how they can be integrated with modern Western psychotherapy.
