What does it mean to be an integrated Self? What does it mean to be a whole person?
In today's episode, I interview Hart Dasteel - local to Portland, OR, a husband, father, healer, IFS enthusiast, and psychedelic integration coach. We talk about the healing relationship that is possible between a person's core Self and their Parts, and explore how this changes our parenting styles, hopefully helping us become more compassionate dads.
Talking parts and burdens leads to talking about trauma, and the way trauma transmits through generations. This also means that healing transmits through generations. We find this a sign of hope - if not a very long-game sort of hope.
Finally, we talk about Hart's work with psychedelics, and how that relates to sobriety work. He talks about the potential for deep inner work and self-discovery that could be possible through the aid of plant medicines, and a trained guide. Along with the possibilities, he mentions the cautions. "Psychedelics are not a panacea," and "Not everyone should use them."
I wanted to have this conversation because of a deep respect for Hart and his healing work, and the depth of thought he brings to topics like plant based medicine, sobriety, and trauma. In my own counseling work, and as an Orthodox Christian, I myself do not use or support the use of psychedelics. I do find it valuable, though, to hear the perspectives of those who do, in order to remember that they are also human, and also working very diligently to good in the world in the best way they can.
