04. Psychedelics, Therapy or Breathwork - Which one is “better”?
Manage episode 410325873 series 3564510
The personal development world can be confusing, overwhelming - sometimes even dangerous….
On one hand, psychedelics have become more & more popular with founders & entrepreneurs as a way to gain clarity & insights.
They are extremely effective at opening the mind (maybe a bit too effective!) which can resurface old memories & create new pathways in the brain & body.
However, many people have fear or resistance to trying these substances due to hearing negative stories - not to mention the fact that they are illegal in most countries. This lack of regulation and safety standards can make their use dangerous for the wrong person, or with the wrong practitioner.
Meanwhile, mind-based therapy & coaching are tried, tested & important modalities for our society. They help people to process thoughts & cognitively understand their deeper patterns, as well as define a new path forward.
But many who have tried therapy often say it was useful in helping them understand their problems in their mind, but didn’t allow them to actually create a deeper level of lasting change in their behaviour.
In this episode, Pete & Rene peel back the curtain & discuss their personal experience of Psychedelics, Therapy & Coaching & how these compare to Connected Breathwork.
