211: Healing Trauma with Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy with Sean Lawlor

What if the key to unlocking deep-rooted traumas and transforming mental health lies in the very substances we've been taught to fear?  In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Sean Lawlor, a psychedelic therapist and author, to explore the fascinating world of psychedelic-assisted therapy. We dive deep into the misconceptions surrounding psychedelics, their potential therapeutic uses, and the groundbreaking research being conducted at institutions like Johns Hopkins University. As we unpack the complexities of psychedelic-assisted therapy, we discuss the safety considerations, the role of integration, and the potential for these treatments to address a wide range of mental health conditions.  Sean offers a personal glimpse into his own experiences with psychedelics and how they shaped his path as a therapist. Whether you're curious about alternative therapies or seeking to understand the cutting-edge developments in mental health treatment, this episode promises to challenge your preconceptions and open your mind to new possibilities in healing. Topics covered in this episode include: The surprising truth about psychedelics that challenges common misconceptions Factors that can make or break a psychedelic experience The unexpected way your body might hold the key to unlocking past traumas A counterintuitive approach to changing habits that doesn't involve willpower The connection between psychedelics and emotions you may have never considered The reason why some therapists are turning to unconventional methods for treating mental health   Full show notes are available at https://epicyou.com/podcast/   Resources Mentioned:  Check out Sean’s book: https://amzn.to/4gni1DR If you’re loving this podcast, please rate and review it to help others create their own Epic Life: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/drink-less-lifestyle/id1534950157 Have a question or topic suggestion for future podcasts?
