112 | The Hero’s Journey: Psychedelics Can Make Things Worse Before They Get Better

Are you feeling like the work isn’t working? Do you feel worse, rather than better? What if I told you that this is perfectly normal? Join me as we explore the reality that sometimes, before we reap the benefits of our healing journeys, we must confront the discomfort and emotional turbulence that arise.

Using the framework of the Hero’s Journey, we discuss how this process is not just about finding relief but engaging with the deeper wounds that psychedelics illuminate. By understanding that this discomfort is a natural part of the healing process, we can embrace the journey and recognize that facing our inner challenges is a sign of progress. Whether you're navigating your own healing or supporting others, this episode aims to validate your experience and encourage you to keep moving forward.

What You’ll Learn:

• The stages of the Hero's Journey and how they mirror our psychedelic experiences.
• Why it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or frustrated during the healing process.
• The importance of facing discomfort and how it signifies progress.
• How emotions are energy in motion and the necessity of feeling to heal.
• The significance of support systems during challenging times.
