What happens when shame becomes the way you experience your body?In this episode, Ailey sits down with psychedelic somatic therapist Christian Snuffer to explore how shame can shape our relationship with ourselves long before we have words for it. Together, they reflect on what it means to lose touch with the body and why healing often begins with simply noticing what has been there all along.Drawing from his work in somatic therapy and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, Christian shares how we can begin rebuilding trust in our inner experience. The conversation also explores what it means to reconnect with intuition after years of self doubt, and how staying present can become the foundation for lasting change.Rather than searching for a quick transformation, Ailey and Christian consider healing as a gradual return to ourselves. They reflect on the quiet work of integration and the possibility of becoming more open to love, connection, and life itself.If you have ever wondered what it feels like to come home to yourself after shame, this conversation offers a thoughtful and compassionate place to begin.In this episode:5:25 What Being Embodied Means10:10 Intuition And Psycho Spiritual Openness17:35 Leaving Mormonism And Meeting Shame20:46 How Shame Lives In The Body25:22 PSIP And Readiness For Psychedelics38:34 Ketamine As Resourcing Not Escape45:21 Integration That Changes Real Life56:02 Closing Reflections And Ways To ContinueA note: Ailey shares this conversation not as a recommendation but as information.
