Dr Traill Dowie: Philosophy, Trauma, Psychedelic Therapy and More

Today's episode is a little different because I had the pleasure of catching up with my guest in my own home studio and we did the interview face to face, which reminded me of what I believe we've all learned as a result of this pandemic. And that is, while we have access to online communication, nothing beats talking and looking at people's faces and examining body language and facial expressions and experiencing that connection with someone, which I had the pleasure of doing today. My guest is Dr Traill Dowie who is the Chair of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Panel for Trauma Standards & Practice, he is also the Head of Faculty at Ikon Institute Australia, and is a practising psychotherapist, supervisor and public speaker. He holds dual PhDs, receiving a PhD in Psychiatry from Monash University and a PhD in Philosophy from The University of Melbourne. He is also co-director of the Mind Medicine Institute, and I recently had the pleasure of talking to his co-director, integrative psychologist, Nigel Denning. So these two episodes really do dovetail with each other really well.   For more on Dr Traill Dowie, head to his website: https://www.trailldowie.com/ For more on Mind Medicine Institute: https://mindmedicineaustralia.org.au/ For more on Ikon Institute of Australia: https://ikon.edu.au/   ** DISCLAIMER** This program is not intended to encourage the use of illegal substances.
