About this listen
Includes in-depth discussions of consent, power dynamics, preparation, integration, and what to look for—or walk away from—when seeking a guide or facilitator
Grounded in rigorous science, expert information, and trauma-informed psychology, Kristina Hunter’s primer on psychedelic care—from understanding your “why” to choosing a practitioner; from navigating your journey to integrating its insights—is a discerning, empowering resource for anyone seeking the transformative benefits of healing in expanded states.
You’ll learn:
- How psychedelics heal: understand how plant medicines and other entheogens facilitate inner healing intelligence
- A self-empowered approach that helps you make informed, conscious choices from a place of agency and discernment
- Harm- and risk-reduction strategies: screening practices, safety precautions, and ways to identify warning signs of incompetence and abuse
- Skills for maximizing therapeutic benefit, like intention-setting, preparation, and integration strategies for long-term growth
- About the realities and complexities of asymmetrical power dynamics in psychedelic guiding
Crucially, Hunter dedicates an unprecedented three chapters to exploring the ethics and power dynamics of psychedelic guiding, offering a necessary update on classic psychedelic explorers’ guides that’s firmly rooted in 21st-century realities. Readers will learn which red (and orange) flags to look out for and come away equipped with knowledge on consent, suggestibility, therapeutic alliances, and navigating transference.
