25 - Dr. T and Truth Fairy: The Together In Real Life Episode

In this very special episode, Dr. T and Truth Fairy meet in real life for the first time. Truth Fairy travels to Australia and the two hosts are united in person at last! Their conversation happens organically from the moment of meeting as they discuss what they’ve been doing and what plans they have. Dr. T fills Truth Fairy in on the clinical trial he has finally received permission to engage in. A trial with mushrooms for treatment-resistant depression. Truth Fairy reveals that Dr. T will be taking part in her five-day training while she is in Australia which both are extremely excited about. They reflect on the strangeness of finally being together in person and yet the familiar sense of recognizing each other as a kind of family. Dr. T and Truth Fairy dive into the three-day medicine session Truth Fairy just before their meeting. Truth Fairy recounts what made her say yes to that session and how it went. They talk about prayers of gratitude offered before sessions, being drawn to work with people in trauma, the mentors they have found in the field, and finally reflect again on how wonderful it is to meet each other in real life and make the connection beyond Zoom. “It's like when I first saw you, a part of me recognized you and a part of me didn't recognize you because you were no longer the person just behind the screen. You were a real fully in-flesh person. And as I'm sitting here watching you, it's like the connections are being made and the recognition is coming and I'm sinking back into like, Oh, okay, I know this person.” - Dr. T Resources discussed in this episode: Gabor Maté Sharon Stanley smudge --- Punk Therapy: website |email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
