In this episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, Dr. Steve Thayer and Dr. Reid Robison discuss adult development. That’s right, folks. Developmental stages aren’t just for the kids. Reid and Steve explore different theories on adult development, particularly Ken Wilber’s integral theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. They talk a bit about their own approaches to personal development and how they help clients on this journey. They also discuss the phenomenon of the so-called midlife crisis, waking up vs growing up, how to zero in on your values and live life accordingly, and much more. 

*This episode originally aired 11/28/23

Do you have one of those fancy wearable devices that tracks your sleep? How reliable are those things? Could they help detect a serious sleep disorder like sleep apnea? How detrimental is sleep apnea on physical and mental health? What are the latest treatment innovations for sleep apnea? Can psychedelics help people with personality disorders? Could 5-MeO-DMT help reduce excessive alcohol consumption? Could LSD be used to treat anxiety? What happens when you let people self-regulate a DMT dose through an IV? 
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we share data from a number of studies that seek to answer these questions.

If you take any beginner’s class in economics or finance you undoubtedly learn about how investments grow over time via compound interest. But what if we apply this concept of investment and compounding growth to personal development? 
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we discuss a variety of approaches to personal growth, healing, and development using the metaphor of investment and compounding growth. We cover the “imperfectionist” approach, treating the mind like a garden, how to think about failures, dealing with discomfort, the importance of rest, clarifying values, and much more.

When we describe artists we typically describe them in terms of their medium: a musician, a scuplter, a painter, a poet, etc. But what does it really mean to be an artist or, for that matter, to be creative? Can you be an artist without a medium? How do we think about or describe the creative act? What might life look like if we were to view it as a work of art?
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we discuss these questions and more with special guest, Haymitch St. Stephen. Haymitch is an artist and contemplative who is dedicated to helping others cultivate creativity as a spiritual practice. One of his recent creative projects that we discuss in this episode is his book, Friend of the Devil: A story of Mental Health, Mistakes, and Self-Forgiveness. If listening to this episode leaves you hungry for more Haymitch, you can find him at his website stillpoint.life where you can also check out the “Nature of Creation” retreat he’s running on Feb 15th.

How relevant are the teachings of ancient philosophers for modern problems? Marcus Arelius didn’t have social media. The Buddha never got stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. At first glance the stressors of modern life seem so different from what humans had to deal with a few hundred or especially a few thousand years ago.
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we discuss how and why the principles taught by ancient philosophers are relevant and helpful for addressing our uniquely modern problems. We also explore a few modern philosophies and discuss how philosophy and the practice of psychotherapy overlap.

Reid has recently returned from the Ram Das Legacy Retreat in Maui run by the Love Serve Remember Foundation. In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast we sat down for a trip report with Reid’s brother, Jeremy Robison, and our friend, John Patterson, who also attended the retreat. We discuss the theme of the retreat (“grist for the mill”), their motives for going, their experiences at the retreat, the healing power of music, aversions to gurus, how life’s challenges can become our guru, the life of Ram Dass, psychedelic experiences without ingesting substances, psychospiritual journeys, and much more.

In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast we’re exploring legacy (or sometimes called ancestral) burdens and gifts. This is the idea that beliefs, interpersonal patterns, narratives, emotions, unresolved trauma, and/or pain from previous generations can be passed down to descendants, influencing their psychological, emotional, and even physical well-being. We discuss how this is possible from psychological, developmental, psychospiritual, and biological perspectives; how one might heal the burdens; and how one might benefit from the gifts.
