Ep.36 The Dark Side of Plant Medicine: Sexual Misconduct

Avatar Healing Art’s Ayahuasca Assisted Therapy Podcast

In this episode I chat with Angela Benck and Faisal Khattak about the dark side of plant medicine and the misuse of power in psychedelic assisted therapy. Today we focus on sexual abuse that is the most common abuse of power in a therapeutic setting.

Highlights

How to create safe places for healing?

Who heals the healers?

Transparency, integrity and ethics in psychedelic assisted therapy

power and responsibility

Accountability for healers

Naivete of clients and cultural differences

Mantra for this week:

"As long as we refuse to recognize the shadow in ourselves, we are in its power."

Remember, you are the healer and love is the medicine.
