The key to growth on psychedelics, the key to healing deep trauma is to go up and pet the rattlesnake. You go up and you make friends with it and you realize that this isn't other than you. You're there to give that part love and compassion so that part can heal. And pretty soon you don't have this separate thing anymore.

They also touch on setting clear intentions before diving into a psychedelic experience and allowing oneself to fully express emotional states. It's not just about the trip; it's about what happens after—the integration process is crucial. The conversation doesn't shy away from the challenges either.
Accessing affordable psychedelic therapy remains a significant hurdle for many. Shannon and Richard stress the need for integration retreat centers that can provide continuous support and make this form of therapy more accessible. Ethical considerations are also a big part of the discussion, ensuring that those seeking help are treated with the utmost respect and care. This episode is a heartfelt exchange that emphasizes the importance of professional guidance in psychedelic therapy.
