Healing Childhood Wounds With Psychedelic Therapy | Bruce Sanguin - ATTMind 98
24 May 2019
This episode of the podcast narrows in on the manner in which early childhood experiences inform, often unconsciously, our adult perceptions, behavior, and self-identity. Our guest, author and former Christian minister Bruce Sanguin, takes us into and through a (common) legacy of early childhood wounds, the relational context through which they are inflicted and later reiterated, as well as the role psychedelic therapy plays in healing those childhood wounds. Bruce is not an armchair advocate for this work, but a man that has learned from his own healing with psychedelic medicines. Along with a structural discussion on his model for healing childhood wounds and the potential of psychedelic therapy to help the process along, he shares his personal story of how his childhood wounds led him to the Church, how healing them required leaving that church behind, and how psychedelics help him learn to love again. **Full episode breakdown below** --LINKS-- For links to Bruce's work, full show notes, and to watch this episode in video, head to Https://bit.ly/ATTMind98 --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST — Patreon: https://patreon.com/jameswjesso Donations: https://www.paypal.me/JWJesso Merchandise: https://www.jameswjesso.com/shop/ More options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support/ --- BOOKS — Decomposing The Shadow: https://www.jameswjesso.com/decomposing-the-shadow/ The True Light Of Darkness: https://www.jameswjesso.com/true-light-darkness/ _______________________ EPISODE BREAKDOWN How our early life explains set us up for our perceptions of reality and self in adulthood Core Unconscious Beliefs (CUBs) how they form our personality Personality vs Authentic Self What is happening when we become "triggered" the traumatic origins of existentialism How our CUBs and CABs guide us into toxic relationships We are wounded in relationships; we heal in relationship Enter psychedelic therapy Healing with Ayahuasca Healing with LSD/MDMA (candy flip) psychotherapy What psychedelics do in the therapy The (attachment) role of the therapist in psychedelic therapy Getting trapped in the spiritual ego Sanguin's journey into and out of the Church How the church helps reaffirm childhood trauma What is God, both before and after psychedelics. --- OTHER LINKS — Website: https://www.jameswjesso.com/ **Speaking Tour**: https://www.jameswjesso.com/events/ Podcast: https://www.jameswjesso.com/podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jameswjesso Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/attmindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jameswjesso --- PRODUCTS — Art: https://www.jameswjesso.com/product-category/art/ Teeshirts: https://www.jameswjesso.com/product-category/clothing/ Lectures: https://www.jameswjesso.com/product/psychedelics-ritualistic-suffering-and-the-meaning-of-life-lecture/
