EPISODE #12 OF THE PSYCHED SOUL PODCAST
How to Interpret Psychedelic Journeys | Part 1 with Shiri Godasi
About this Episode
There is growing awareness of the need for integration after psychedelic experiences, but where exactly does the interpretation of those experiences fit into integration?
In this episode, Shiri introduces her integration philosophy, developed through extensive fieldwork and personal exploration and offers various approaches to help make sense of psychedelic experiences, applicable to a broad range of substances.
Shiri emphasizes three main principles: staying curious and humble, understanding one's vantage point, and prioritizing the relationship with insights that arise over their content. She further explores the role of themes, sounds, visions and physical sensations as vehicles for deep personal understanding, while stressing the importance of viewing these phenomena through a trauma-informed lens.
