Episode 174: How Psychedelics Are Reshaping Modern Psychology with Ellie Holbrook - Part 2

In this week's episode of the M3 podcast, I am joined by Psychologist, El Holbrook for the second half of this two-part interview. We explore the concept of 'graduating' from therapy, the importance of therapists having their own therapists, and reflect on personal anecdotes involving eating disorders and addiction. The discussion traverses through the nuances of identifying with past traumas in AA meetings, distress tolerance in ceremonies, and the profound experiences of participating in plant medicine ceremonies. The episode also touches on the intricate balance of professional and personal life, the significance of community support, and plans for a future retreat center focused on holistic healing. Join us as we get real and raw with you all on all things psychology and psychedelics!HIGHLIGHTS00:13 Graduating from Therapy: Is It Possible?00:53 The Lifelong Journey of Therapy02:00 Personal Healing Stories02:47 The Role of AA in Recovery04:14 Navigating Peer Support and Recovery07:36 Plant Ceremonies: Preparation and Safety11:22 Experiencing the Ceremony16:16 The Mysticism of Plant Medicine19:51 Integration and Self-Responsibility27:29 Frameworks for Healing31:12 Facing Trauma and Avoidance31:39 Cold Plunge and Plant Medicine33:35 The Healing Power of Women Circles34:07 Empowerment Through Choice36:05 Navigating Physical and Emotional Trauma37:58 Personal Journey and Professional Growth45:53 Building a Therapy Agency47:21 Future Plans and Vision52:50 Navigating Life's WavesConnect with Ellie Holbrook:Instagram: @elholbrook @sojourncounselinggroupWebsite: Sojourn Counseling GroupOther Resources: www.ellieholbrook.netConnect with Breanna Danielle:Instagram: @iambreannadanielle @TheM3MethodWebsite: www.breannadanielle.coOther Resources: linktr.ee/BreannaDanielle
