MP3 Download

Here we explore the powerful convergence of art, archetypal psychotherapy, and psychedelics in promoting healing and self-discovery. Included in this deep dialogue are the value of the hero/heroine’s journey, creative expression, the importance of mirroring and reflection in the therapeutic process, and the potential of psychedelics for working with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Strasburg emphasizes, "Consciousness is in everything, filtered by the brain, and psychedelics expand that consciousness." The conversation delves into the nuances of psychedelic-assisted therapy, including group settings, preparation, and integration, while highlighting the importance of a trauma-informed approach and proper facilitator training.
