What if some of the most common beliefs about psychedelics are actually making the journey harder?
In this special live episode, recorded at Anatha Fest, I unpack six common myths about psychedelic medicine work—from the idea that psychedelics will "fix" us, to the belief that bigger doses always lead to deeper healing. Drawing on my own experiences with ayahuasca, iboga, 5-MeO-DMT, coaching, and psychedelic integration, this talk explores a more grounded, nuanced approach to personal growth and transformation.
Topics Covered:
Why psychedelics won't fix you (and why that's actually good news)
The difference between insight and integration
What it means to be an active participant in your healing
Why the medicine won't tell you what to do
The myth that bigger doses are always better
Microdosing, nervous system readiness, and the power of going slow
Natural vs. synthetic psychedelics: a nuanced conversation
Spiritual ego, psychedelic identity, and bypassing
Why healing isn't a shortcut
The role of preparation and integration in lasting transformation
The importance of psychological safety in psychedelic work
