08 - Family Constellations with special guest Lara

Content Warning: Sensitive topics and trauma memories Dr. T and The Truth Fairy welcome their very first guest to the show. Lara is studying to become a systemic integration practitioner and a psychedelic therapist and was The Truth Fairy’s first medicine therapy client. Lara not only shares the story of that first medicine therapy session with The Truth Fairy but takes Dr. T and The Truth Fairy on a journey into what Family Constellations are and the benefits that can arise from such sessions. Lara explains how Family Constellations derives from the work of Bert Hellinger in Germany, which she calls systemic integration, and lays out the connective tissue of the process for Dr. T and The Truth Fairy. They discuss how all the information comes through the client, through what the group will feel and unravel for the client with assistance from the therapist. Lara shares that she has wondered about the potential for combining psychedelics with constellation work and the benefits that could bring to a client. The Truth Fairy and Lara both tell versions of the story of how their first medicine therapy session came to be. Lara opens a quite deep glimpse into some of the revelations from that session and what it taught her. They share how the experience sealed their friendship, revealed some profound truths about Lara’s mother and motherhood, and how it set each of them on a specific journey. The three address how medicine therapy is a journey and how revelations must be revisited and worked through after the medicine fades. Much valuable insight and knowledge is shared in this episode. “And I think it's so important for our listeners to understand that, you know, some of us are coming with high expectations for what the medicine can do, and it may just be opening the window, right?” The Truth Fairy Resources mentioned in this episode: The Centre for Systemic Constellations Family Constellations AWE Foundation “Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture, and Wisdom” by Darcia Narvaez Dr. Gabor Maté Sharon Stanley --- Punk Therapy: website |email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
