Sarah Pant Psychotherapy, Coaching and Facilitation

07/09/2024

I’m joining my long time friend and colleague Sean O'Carroll on Wild Mind's Ecotherapy Training this November. Ecotherapy was how Sean and I first crossed paths and it is one of my greatest therapy loves.
While it’s been a while since my wilderness therapy days, Ecotherapy is in my bones and continues to influence both my psychotherapy practice and my way of being in the world.
This is a wonderful opportunity to expand exisiting therapy skills and connection with the living world. Check out the details if you're keen to join us. 🌿

Introduction to Ecopsychotherapy Professional Development for Psychotherapists

07/03/2024

I am so grateful to be part of the team at Monash Clinical Psychedelic Lab and to do this work. This doco gives a glimpse into what we’ve been working on for the last couple of years. I hope it gives people a sense of what psychedelic therapy is like. Most importantly I am in awe of the courage of these participants who were willing to share a little of their story with you all and honored to have accompanied so many through this world first trial.

There’s been a lot of excitement and interest in the recent TGA announcement in Australia. This is an excellent article written by my colleague Paul Liknaitzky, PhD who heads The Clinical Psychedelic Lab at Monash University.

From July this year, some psychiatrists will be able to prescribe psychedelics to some patients. Responses from experts working in the field are mixed.

A couple of thoughts as I dive in to the Embracing Climate Grief Masterclass

I'm running a masterclass with the splendid folk at the Small Giants Academy. It's all about embracing climate grief, (sounds fun right..!?;)) It's true, climate grief is vast and complicated and it's easy to get overwhelmed and stuck. We're going to explore how to be with sorrow together and also how to find the movement and opportunity in grief and see where love and hope might be its unexpected dance partners. https://events.humanitix.com/embracing-climate-grief...

From a little while back... Such a joy and privilege to be in conversation with the wonderful Catherine Ingram and Dumbo Feather editor Nathan Scolaro:

"Our first episode for 2020 is about empathy, and it’s a panel discussion recorded live at the M Pavillion in Melbourne late last year. The event was to celebrate A Mile In My Shoes, an interactive art project that invited participants to quite literally put someone else’s shoes on and hear a recording of their story.

Dumbo Feather editor Nathan Scolaro was joined by Dharma teacher Catherine Ingram and psychotherapist Sarah Pant to explore their experiences of the project, and also their thoughts on why empathy is fundamental to our survival as humans, and how we can help foster in one another as we go about our days."
