314 - The Future of Therapy: Psychedelics, Spirituality & the Courage to Feel with Christian Snuffer

If therapists can't feel, they can't help. Christian Snuffer dives into psychedelics, spirituality, and the future of therapy—and why curiosity and compassion matter more than any modality.

We met on Instagram and immediately bonded over, well, everything! While every tangent in this episode is just so compelling, three topics really reinforced my belief in the future of psychology and the clinicians who are dedicating themselves to its evolution:

• self-compassion - for the twisty journeys that bring many of us into this field and home to our own healing

• coachability - old dogs (and therapists) can learn new tricks, modalities, and ways of being with their clients and themselves

• psychedelics - we need to protect this vital treatment option from the scourge of capitalism

Bonus focus: spirituality, namely, how do we make space for it in practice?
