  • EP11: Psychedelic Therapy to Become a Better Parent
    Jun 16 2024

    In this conversation, Inner Shift facilitator Caro Pankert, transformation coach and energy healer, discusses the impact of psychedelic therapy on parenthood and emotional well-being.


    Caro emphasizes the intense pressure parents face in today's capitalist society. They are expected to excel at work, be perfect parents, maintain strong relationships, and face constant scrutiny from others about their parenting methods.


    Many parents carry their own childhood wounds and traumas, which can interfere with their ability to parent effectively, especially under stress. This often leads to feelings of guilt and frustration when they react negatively towards their children.


    Psilocybin has helped Caro confront and heal from her childhood traumas. It has enabled her to connect with her inner child, understand her own emotional triggers, and consequently, be more patient and loving toward her children.


    Through psilocybin experiences, Caro has learned to regulate her emotions better. This allows her to respond to her children's emotions with patience and understanding, rather than reacting impulsively or dismissively.
