In this episode, we sit down with ‪@sunnystrasburglmft‬ , creator of the Theradelic Approach—a powerful and integrative framework that combines psychedelic-assisted therapy, trauma-informed care, archetypal psychology, and creative expression to support deep and lasting healing.

Sunny shares her personal evolution from artist and psychonaut to trauma-specialized therapist trained in EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and other advanced modalities.

She introduces the PANTHER Method:Preparation, Attunement, Needs of Protectors, Trauma Mapping, Holding Space, Empathy/Engagement, and Resolution/Integration—a structured yet flexible roadmap for safe and transformational psychedelic work.🌱

We explore:

🔸 Why psychedelics aren’t a quick fix and require skillful integration

🔸 How art, myth, and symbolic language enrich therapy

🔸 The importance of therapist self-work and countertransference awareness

🔸 Healing trauma in leaders to catalyze collective change

🔸 Tools for emotional regulation and self-inquiry like: “What part is speaking now?”

Sunny also opens up about her daily performance habits—nature, breathwork, meditation, and supportive relationships—and honors the mentors who shaped her path, including Dick Schwartz, James Hollis, and indigenous plant medicine teachers.

This is a deep dive into how modern therapy and ancient wisdom meet to optimize human potential. Whether you’re a therapist, seeker, or curious explorer—this conversation offers practical tools, insight, and inspiration.
