In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Dr. Cat Meyer, a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in sex, trauma and ketamine assisted therapy, three things that are very buzzy these days. Plus, she is an EMDR and Kambo facilitator and master Reiki practitioner.
They discuss how to heal through sex and psychedelics, and the power of reclaiming your own pleasure instead of outsourcing it to others. Cat and Emily discuss how shame and disconnection from your body can create challenges with feeling and embracing your own desires.
They also explore how somatic experiences can be used to reconnect your brain and body, and how this can help you discover not only what you want sexually, but also in your daily life. Plus, they delve deep into the benefits of various psychedelics, their ability to alter consciousness and how they can facilitate emotional healing and trauma processing.
Get ready for a wild ride.
