On this episode, I am joined by Angela Ivy Leong. Angela is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Founder of An Elegant Mind (AEM) Counselling Inc., a private practice that specializes in relational intimacy, sex, and psychedelics.
Angela holds a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia. She has over 10 years of experience helping people from the lowest to the highest rungs of society find meaning in life. At AEM, clients are taken through three levels of healing: individually–where you carve out your authentic sense of self, relationally—where you learn relational skills, and sexually—where you learn to use pleasure as a form of intimate relating and a way of being. The AEM method involves a deep acknowledgement of core wounds, the development of key skills for functional, loving relationships and the psycho-education required for the embodiment of the sexual self. Clients who have worked with therapists using the AEM Method have experienced deep emotional release, compassionate strategies for becoming unstuck, and transformation into more authentic versions of self expression.
On this episode we discuss the stigma and shame that can be associated with sexuality. It can start in childhood when curiosity around the topic can first start to develop. Angela shares her experience of going to the library to read books on puberty and always being interested in sex. Plant medicines and her education taught her self-love on a deeply profound neurological level which allowed her to seek out partners that were on her same level. Coming from a place of open-ness she wanted to hold space for others that are struggling to feel comfortable in their sexuality and unlearn the feelings of shame and guilt.
She also shares her experience with psychedelics as a consumer and clinician. Psychedelics can have such a profound impact on mental health and emotional healing. We discuss what incorporating ketamine into therapy is like at AEM and what considerations you should have prior to receiving that type of treatment.
