Are Psychedelics The Answer To Connection? with Sabina Pillai
There is a serious health crisis happening globally and it’s not one you’d expect - it’s loneliness. We all crave meaningful relationships but these days many of us are struggling to create and keep them during one of the most disconnected times we’ve been in.
A solution that many people are turning to to find support with this are psychedelics.
That’s why I asked psychedelic-assisted therapist Sabina Pillai onto the show. She’s facilitated over a 1000 ketamine-assisted therapy sessions, and has seen the incredible potential of psychedelic medicine to transform people’s lives and help move them towards greater wisdom, wholeness and…connection.
In this episode, we talk about:
Our deep desire to know our true selves
Difference between ketamine vs psilocybin
Why vulnerability is a superpower
Our universal desire for connection and what holds us back from it
Why bad trips aren’t actually all bad
Plus, she shares what feelings we struggle most to feel, and how psychedelics might just be a way to help with that.
