A Somatic Relational Approach to Psychedelic Therapy | Tooth Fairy & Curlz ~ ATTMind 136
Jan 15, 2021•2 hr 56 min•Ep. 136
Episode description
We feature two anonymous guests on today’s episode to talk about applying psychedelics to somatic relational therapy. One of whom is a practicing underground therapist. The other is not a therapist or doing therapy, but a social worker and researcher specializing in somatic healing, interpersonal neurobiology, and psychedelic therapy.
This is a radically different approach to the psychedelic-assisted therapy you are likely aware of--headphones, eye shades, therapist there to hold a hand if needed. This is a therapy that is fully interactive and engaged.
