Simon Yugler: Depth Medicine & The Psychedelic Gold Rush

Simon Yugler is a depth psychotherapist and psychedelic integration coach from Portland, Oregon. In this episode we talk about how to navigate the emerging psychedelic therapy space, strategies for integrating a profound psychedelic experience, and the unscrupulous psychedelic medicine providers who peddle Neo-colonialism as new age wellness.We also wrestle with the ramifications of the liberalization of psychedelic medicine into the global capitalist market, observing the 'psychedelic gold rush' whereby profit-oriented companies are attempting to trademark client behaviors like lying down and smoking cannabis in a psilocybin therapy, as well as using soft furniture and holding hands. This episode will be of particular interest to anyone intent on moving into the psychedelic therapy space or pivoting their existing practice into a psychedelic integration program.  Hosted on Acast.
