Please join us and our guest, Micah Stover, for a show on Healing Psychedelics: Innovative Therapies for Trauma and Transformation. Psychedelics are showing great promise as a new way to heal trauma and improve emotional wellness. Studies reveal that they can be effective in reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms, even in cases that are resistant to other treatments. Micah offers a comprehensive and informative guide for both professionals and patients who are interested in learning more about psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Each chapter reveals a vignette taken directly from the psychedelic space that shows the medicines (medium and macro-doses of MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis), why they were chosen, and the process used for transformation during the sessions. Stover weaves in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the reader's healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all readers, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist. Healing Psychedelics shows the complete process, enabling the reader to safely unlock the power of psychedelics to heal trauma and transform their life for a brighter future.
Micah’s introduction to psychedelic therapy followed a traumatic pregnancy and birth that unearthed a reservoir of unresolved trauma. The journey to heal those wounds transformed her life. In 2022, Micah began training with the Psychedelic Somatic Institute in Denver, Colorado. She completed the apprenticeship level 1 and 2 certification and is finalizing her certificate of mastery. In Micah's current role as a certified psychedelic somatic therapist, she hosts individual healing retreats and trains psychedelic practitioners. Learn more at https://MicahStoverConsulting.com.
