In this episode of Punk Therapy, Dr. T and the Truth Fairy welcome psychotherapist and trauma specialist Sean to the show to discuss the work he does in bridging clinical neuroscience and psychedelic-assisted therapy. They explore what’s missing from the current psychedelic resurgence, focusing on dissociation, structural dissociation, and the neurobiology of trauma.

Sean shares how his background in both underground plant medicine and clinical psychotherapy revealed the need for somatic, trauma-informed practices throughout psychedelic medicine spaces. Dr. T, Truth, and Sean unpack how attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and embodied empathy can influence the healing process. They examine how relational connection is the key to sustainable transformation.

From understanding the right brain and left brain hemispheres and function to exploring the default mode network, the amygdala, and the hippocampus, the conversation offers a fascinating deep dive into how the brain, body, and consciousness all interact within healing. The dangers of high-dose psychedelic work without proper preparation, the importance of tracking the nervous system of clients, and investigating how integration and relational repair form the heart of psychedelic therapy are vital parts of the discussions held by Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and guest Sean.

“The wound was formed in relationship, and it must be repaired in relationship.” - Sean
