Description

This episode is extra special because my therapist, Gay Lynn Grigas, is our guest! She recently published a book called, "Psychedelics Dreams & Rituals: A Guidebook for Explorers, Therapists, and Facilitators" and we chat all about it. Unresolved psychological trauma is the cause of much suffering and pain—from anxiety and depression to addictions and PTSD. The book is a practical, step-by-step book on using psychedelics, dreams, and rituals to help you heal the root cause of trauma. This book will show you how to take the inner healing journey.
