“In IFS, we begin to see the self not as a single voice, but a chorus of parts, some exiled, holding the weight of pain we couldn't bear at the time; others protective, managing our lives with vigilance, discipline, or distraction to keep that pain from surfacing. It’s a tender and intricate system, built in love and fear, all in the name of survival.“

Dr. Jessica Eastman, a naturopathic doctor and psychedelic-assisted therapist, shares her integrative approach to trauma recovery and mental health.

She emphasizes the significance of preparation and integration in psychedelic therapy, highlighting that healing occurs during the integration of insights gained.

Dr. Eastman discusses the need for emotional readiness and a curious mindset, addressing the risks of poorly guided experiences.

“Yet, no matter how deeply I go down into myself, my God is dark, and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

This article is a little different from the last. I've been thinking a lot about grief lately. I've been reading The Wild Edge of Sorrow by my favourite, Frances Weller, and re-reading The Smell of Rain on Dust by Martin Prechtel.

Both are books on grief and how it moves and shapes us.

I lost Coco on April 22nd at 4 p.m.

Since then, I've been thinking about grief a lot. This Substack post is a personal essay, a tribute to my special friend, and a meditation on grief in one.

I use quotes, resources, and poetry to describe the humanness of coping with loss.

Some of the most fun I’ve been having with starting to write again is creating illustrations for each post.

Sometimes I create the image before I even start writing to help set the theme and energy that I’m trying to get across.

My child self is jumping for joy at the opportunity to create visual stories by combining imagination and mental images with tech tools like Canva and (some) ChatGPT.

The articles the images represent are:

1. Saying Goodbye to Coco (working title—it’s not published yet)

2. Radical Gaslighting in the Field of Erotic Mystics: What the Aubrey Marcus “Radical Monogamy” Spectacle Can Teach Us About Betrayal Trauma, DARVO, and Coercive Control

3. ChatGPTherapist: The Healer Without a Heartbeat

4. Wellness, Wokeness and the War Over Health: When Protein Becomes Political

Check them out on S.u.b.s.t.a.c.k. called “This Might Help with Dr. Talia ND”

This post took me weeks to write. I almost abandoned the project. At one point, I thought, “Who cares about this?” It’s also been weeks since that podcast episode was released.

It wasn't that deep, but at the same time, it was SO deep.

People weren’t forgetting, and something about the topic and the surrounding conversations captivated me. It has many themes: betrayal, coercion, consent, gendered relational dynamics, and power.

So, I ploughed through, found the words and sentences, and got it done. This is sometimes the beauty of the writing process. At times, it’s painful and directionless.

But once you gather and organize your thoughts, there is an unparalleled sense of freedom. I can now let this go and put it in your hands, readers.

Let me know what you think!

It’s been weird to consider posting something after my last goodbye post to Little Coco Dogler.

But life moves on, I suppose.

And life is good.

I still miss you, Coco, every day. As I go through photos to update my website, I remember how many beautiful adventures and moments we shared. You’re gone, but these memories and feelings of missing you will last forever. Whenever I walk in the forest, hang out with other dogs (giving your buddies a good time, in your honour), or spend time on a beach, I think of you.

You were a magical, nature-loving being, and you awakened my love for nature.

I will always have that.

I love you, buddy.

Thank you ❤️ 🐾
