In this episode, Michael speaks with psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Tim Read about his latest book, Psychedelics and Psychotherapy: The Healing Potential of Expanded States. Together they explore the latest findings in the rapidly growing therapeutic use of psychedelic substances especially in treating trauma. They also explore how these substances can support the healing and integration of early attachment wounding and how plant medicine and psychedelics can help break the unconscious and habitual patterns that result from attachment wounding.

'It’s the relationship that heals as opposed to the specific therapeutic technique, and it’s what we bring from our personal depths to that relationship that makes all the difference.' ~Tim Read
