Making Up is Hard to Do | Teresa talks to Michele Koh

Send us a text

Join this trip with Teresa and psychotherapist and legal psilocybin facilitator Michele Koh, as they discuss the complexities of self-image and societal expectations, eyebrow piercings and convent school uniform quick changes, what constitutes "slutishness" and the primal instinct that drives attraction and what causes resistance to accepting a compliment.

Michele shares about her work as a "trip sitter" during the therapeutic application of magic mushrooms, some surprising insights into the varied backgrounds of people who are engaging in psilocybin therapy and the outcomes they are seeking.

The conversation wraps up with Michele's personal reflections on anxiety about masking her imperfections, her discovery of the beauty of blemishes in herself and her clients, and her commitment to authenticity in self-presentation.
