Ep.36 The Dark Side of Plant Medicine: Sexual Misconduct

In this episode I chat with Angela Benck and Faisal Khattak about the dark side of plant medicine and the misuse of power in psychedelic assisted therapy. Today we focus on sexual abuse that is the most common abuse of power in a therapeutic setting.   Highlights   How to create safe places for healing? Who heals the healers? Transparency, integrity and ethics in psychedelic assisted therapy power and responsibility Accountability for healers Naivete of clients and cultural differences Recognizing red flags Verbal and written informed consent The proper use of touch in a healing container   Mantra for this week: "As long as we refuse to recognize the shadow in ourselves, we are in its power."   Remember, you are the healer and love is the medicine.   Ayahuasca Assisted Therapy Facilitator Training 2022 – Apply now! https://www.avatarhealingarts.com/training   Look into my book: Heart Medicine, Ayahuasca Assisted Therapy and the integration process https://www.avatarhealingarts.com/book   Join my Circle on YouTube: Healing & Awakening with Nina Izel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYTkBkcqaF4SKt07HFtZAQQ   And join my mailing list here https://www.avatarhealingarts.com/contact   Join my Club: Healing & Awakening on Clubhouse Every second Tuesday 5pm CST: All about Ayahuasca Assisted Therapy www.clubhouse.com   On Spotify: New Paradigm Healing, Ayahuasca Assisted Therapy Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/1rFFUXXJqZ9DH5eCxCdaep?si=a_z69luvTKSWPu8upjbUWg&dl_branch=1   On Vimeo: Avatar Healing Arts Podcast, Ayahuasca Assisted Therapy https://vimeo.com/newparadigmhealing
