661. Before You Give Up on Your Health: The Missing Link to Joy, Healing & Health

विवरण

I’m joined by my dear friend Kristin Weitzel for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy, trauma, nervous system regulation, and what it can look like to create meaningful change from the inside out. Kristin brings more than 15 years of experience in breathwork, nervous system regulation, health optimization, and integration work, and she shares what led her from supporting plant medicine ceremonies to becoming a facilitator herself. We talk about the resistance many people have around psychedelics, including the belief that they do not have “big enough” trauma to address, and why the patterns formed through childhood experiences, relationships, environment, and other life experiences can continue to influence how we respond to the world. I also share what came up during my own journey with Kristin, including a traumatic experience involving my father that I had learned to move through rather than fully process. Kristin explains how slowing down, noticing the body's responses, and creating enough nervous system regulation can allow difficult experiences to be approached differently. What you’ll learn: Why trauma does not have to involve one major event to influence your patterns and behaviors How experiences from childhood can continue to shape the nervous system long after the original event What a simple body scan can reveal about your current emotional and nervous system state What Kristin's own journey taught her about the therapeutic potential of psychedelic work What to consider when deciding whether a facilitator is someone you can genuinely trust Why integration may be just as important as the psychedelic experience itself How breathwork, cold exposure, nervous system regulation, and other tools can fit into the broader process of personal growth Resources: Work with Kristen: https://www.sherpabreathandcold.com/journeys Grab your Thyroid Fixer here: https://betterlifedoctor.com/ New here?
