138: Psychedelics, Resurfacing Trauma, + Healing through Community with Lauren Taus

What happens when someone takes psychedelics + they experience
painful memories or an overload of emotion + thoughts that they
aren’t equipped to handle by themselves?


Lauren Taus, psychedelics assisted therapist, educator, advocate
+ founder of In-bodied life, joins me to dive into the
relationship of psychedelics + trauma. 


We get deep into some conversations about how psychedelics effect
on our brain + body, which substances do we see as having a
greater effect in working with trauma, what resources help
support someone going through the healing work + much more. 





In this episode, you’ll hear:




The clinical perspective on “trauma” - (What happens to a
person after the happening)




Layers + variations of forms of trauma that exist
(Individual, generational + systemic)




How psychedelics heal trauma stored in the body




The impact of psychedelics on our nervous system




Navigating “bad trips” + reframing to ultimately be
generative for our growth




The potency of preparation, supportive relationships + love




How can someone support themselves when trauma spontaneously
resurfaces?




What does integration look like for individuals who
experience new memories or traumas unlocked by the
psychedelics? 




Spiritually bypassing versus doing “the work” from a
spiritual lens




Honoring our traditions, ritual + ceremony from a place of
authenticity 




Navigating the cultural appropriation of indigenous practices
+ healing our ancestral shame




Systemic trauma for the communities of color + how to become
stronger allies
