EP34 What Psychedelics Reveal About the Voice in Your Head

Beskrivelse

In this episode of Mind Triumph, Aleks welcomes Sarah Thomas from Behold Retreats for a different kind of conversation — one about psychedelics, inner healing, and the voice in your head. Sarah explains how psychedelics, when held in the right setting, can help people become aware of the inner dialogue instead of being controlled by it. Throughout the conversation, she frames the Talker as something that can be observed, worked with, and gradually retrained rather than something that defines who we are. They explore healing versus expansion, trauma versus suffering, and why support, preparation, and integration matter so much in this kind of work. Behold Retreats offers legal retreats in Costa Rica, Mexico, and Portugal, with an approach centered on safety screening, small groups, private consultation, coaching, and integration support. This episode is thoughtful, surprising, and deeply aligned with the Mind Triumph question: What happens when we stop identifying with the voice in our head? 🌿 About Sarah Thomas / Behold Retreats Behold Retreats provides guided psychedelic retreat experiences with a focus on safety, preparation, ceremony, and integration.

#41 How to Stop Making Yourself Miserable | Dr. Randy Paterson

Why do we make ourselves miserable without even realizing it? In this episode of Mind Triumph, I sit down with psychologist, author, and CBT expert Dr. Randy Paterson to explore the hidden mental habits that quietly fuel anxiety, self-doubt, stress, and unhappiness. Drawing from over 40 years of clinical experience, Randy explains how our minds develop automatic patterns that often try to protect us—but can end up keeping us stuck. We discuss the inner voice I call the Talker, why we catastrophize, how anxiety tricks us into obedience, and what it really means to build a healthier relationship with our thoughts. One of the most powerful ideas in this conversation comes from Randy’s bestselling book How to Be Miserable, where he reveals the surprising ways people unknowingly create more suffering in their lives—and how to stop. In this episode: • Why your mind isn’t always telling you the truth • How anxiety grows when we obey it • The hidden danger of comparing yourself to others • Why normal human emotions are often mistaken for mental illness • How gratitude and breathing can help interrupt negative patterns • The difference between pain and suffering • Practical ways to challenge the Talker About Dr. Randy Paterson Dr. Randy Paterson is a Vancouver-based psychologist, author, speaker, and director of Changeways Clinic.
