Unfiltered Healing: What I Learned from Trauma, Explants, and Psychedelics


Listen Later

Kim shares her journey from narcissistic abuse to healing through plant medicine and radical self-discovery. After escaping a controlling marriage that stripped away her identity, Kim found restoration through ketamine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin therapies. She also discovered her ruptured breast implants were contributing to systemic inflammation, leading to their removal and a profound shift in her relationship with self-image and authenticity.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
  1. Narcissistic abuse is about control, not ego - True narcissism is a personality disorder where abusers systematically isolate victims from support systems, control finances, and erode self-worth through manipulation and gaslighting.
  2. Plant medicine can reset the nervous system - Kim's PTSD and trauma were effectively treated through ketamine (for depression), ayahuasca (for self-love and inner child healing), and psilocybin (for complete PTSD resolution).
  3. Physical and mental trauma are interconnected - Kim's ruptured breast implants went undetected for years, contributing to systemic inflammation that mirrored her emotional state during trauma.
  4. Healing requires integration work - While plant medicine provided breakthroughs, lasting healing came from daily practices: journaling, meditation, exercise, and surrounding herself with authentic relationships.
  5. Rock bottom can be a foundation for transformation - Losing everything—money, possessions, identity—forced Kim to rebuild authentically, leading to deeper fulfillment than her previous "perfect" life ever provided.
