Guided Psilocybin Journeys In Nature Support Therapy With Eric Inman, MA

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2363460/fan_mail/new] I talk with Eric Inman about why nature changes us, how psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy can support deep healing, and why most “symptoms” make more sense when you look at disconnection. We break down what safe facilitation looks like, what integration really requires, and why the fear of losing control is often the very pattern that keeps us stuck.  Learn about:  • Eric’s path from outdoor life to eco-psychology and therapy  • Why wilderness settings shift perspective, empathy, and self-awareness  • The ego versus soul frame and the felt experience of oneness  • What people mean by a vision quest and what to expect  • Psilocybin therapy benefits for depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief and loss  • How psilocybin quiets the default mode network and opens neuroplasticity  • Microdosing versus macrodosing and why intention matters  • Set and setting, screening, and reducing the risk of a bad trip  • Preparation, music, and integration as the real container for change  • Evolve Wild’s model for post-journey integration in nature  • Common barriers like fear, cost, time, and discomfort outdoors  Visit evolvewild.com or Youtube Evolve Wild  This episode contains information on psilocybin as a treatment which is not legal in all States for treatment except Oregon and Colorado in the USA.
