Hypnosis, Neuroloscience, and Reveri with David Spiegel, MD

Journey Clinical is on a mission to address the growing mental health crisis by unlocking access to legal, evidence-based Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapies (PAP) across the United States.  Journey Clinical has built a turnkey telehealth platform that enables licensed mental health professionals to expand their practice, starting with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Jonathan Sabbagh is the Co-Founder and CEO of Journey Clinical, the leading telehealth platform for licensed psychotherapists in the US to expand their practice with transformative psychedelic therapies. A serial entrepreneur, Jonathan built his career in finance, spending over two decades working for hedge funds in Switzerland and NYC. After receiving a difficult diagnosis of PTSD and extreme burnout, Jonathan left the world of finance to focus on his mental health. During this period, he experienced firsthand the transformative benefits of psychedelic therapies, particularly plant medicine and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which transformed his condition and inspired him to begin formal studies to become a clinical psychotherapist.  Jonathan’s personal breakthroughs with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, as well as his research studies at The New School motivated Jonathan to expand access to safe, effective psychedelic therapy for all. The result was the founding of Journey Clinical in 2020, a novel decentralized clinic mode for clinical psychotherapists that provides unprecedented access to KAP for their patients, giving over 1M+ licensed mental health professionals in the U.S. access to transformative psychedelic therapies to augment their practice and significantly improve patient lives.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy with Jonanathan Sabbagh of Journey Clinical

On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast, Dr. Howard Eisenberg joins Dr. Hoye to discuss, well, Life, the Universe & Everything, and how our minds effect reality, and Dr. Eisenberg’s new book, “Dream It to Do It:  The Science & the Magic.”  

Dr. Eisenberg has a B.Sc. (Honors Psychology), M.Sc., (Psychology), and M.D., from McGill University, and was the recipient of various scholarships. He has also been a faculty member at several universities, most recently as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Vermont. (At the University of Vermont, he was additionally co-founder of an interdisciplinary Study Group on Complementary and Alternative Medicine).

What does Dr. Eisenberg’s say about his book?

“…Welcome now to my deep dive into exploring the nature of reality. In the pages that follow, you will learn about the overwhelming evidence of the world-behind-the-world and the proof for the primacy of consciousness. More importantly, you will learn about our true nature and the innate magical resources that are our birthright but often forgotten about in our technology-dependent modern world. It is my sincere hope that this is the beginning of a journey for you, one in which you will begin to tap into these resources to create a happier, more satisfying life, as well as a safer, and healthier world….”

We also plumb the depths of other topics:
•The current state of world affairs stemming from a materialistic paradigm
•The lack of human and nature connection due in part to the products of that science
•Ways to tapping into the “spaciousness of consciousness”
•A Shamanic perspective of the world based on quantum physics

Post-Separation Abuse & the Court System with Kaytee Gillis, LCSW-BACS

Join us on this episode of The Psychology Talk Podcast as we delve into the extraordinary realm of entheogens and the wisdom they hold. Once confined to counterculture circles, the use of psychedelics is now inching closer to the mainstream, with millions of Americans having experienced their transformative effects.

Our guest, acclaimed author and researcher Rachel Harris, PhD, sheds light on the evolving landscape of psychedelic exploration and the potential loss of invaluable knowledge as legal and medical institutions embrace these powerful medicines.

In her latest book, "Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground," released on May 9, 2023, Harris presents an illuminating retrospective of psychedelics' last fifty years. Drawing from in-depth interviews with female elders who have served as guides in the underground psychedelic community, Harris uncovers the hidden insights, healing potential, and spiritual growth cultivated through sacred entheogenic journeys.

While current psychedelic research focuses on therapeutic applications involving limited counseling sessions, Harris emphasizes the need to honor the hard-earned knowledge amassed by seasoned guides. She highlights the disparity between research protocols and the best practices developed over decades of underground work, urging us not to overlook the invaluable wisdom gained through these experiences.

Dr. Rachel Harris brings a wealth of expertise to the conversation. With a Ph.D. in psychology and over four decades of private practice, she also spent ten years in an academic research department, publishing numerous scientific studies and receiving recognition such as the National Institutes of Health New Investigator's Award.

Splitting her time between a serene island in Maine and the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, Harris has become a prominent voice in the field of psychedelics.

The Wisdom of Psychedelic Elders with Dr. Rachel Harris, PhD

On this episode of the psychology Talk Podcast, our guest https://www.torchflamebooks.com/brent-willock takes us on an unprecedented rollercoaster as he discusses his latest book, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BX6HNYW/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=lighmess-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07BX6HNYW&amp;linkId=63d28384286b4f93e8f12073068813da

Hincks Treatment Center. He was Adjunct Faculty, York University, Associate Faculty Member, School of Graduate Studies, University of Toronto, and taught at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

Prepare to be captivated by a narrative that unravels the complexities of the human mind, law, and justice. With Dr. Willock's expert, psychological analysis, we navigate the intricacies of this gripping story that challenges our understanding of guilt, innocence, sleep, and the capacity of the human mind for dissociation. 

Dr. Willock explores the Pistorius case through the eyes of neuroscience and psychology. He also provides case law example from the Parks case in Canada from the 1980s, a similar murder trial. This episode, laike his book, is likely to be controversial, but also extremely informative regarding the issues at hand in the Pistorius case, and gives credence to an alternative perspective.
Dr. Willock also covers somnambulism and how it plays out over the lifespan, parasomnias, and sleep terrors. This discussion may lead you to questions cultural assumptions about waking life and the assumption that we are a singularity and in control of our fullness of selves.

It's Not Me It's You_ Addressing Narcissism at Home, Work, School & the Greater World with Dr. Karyne Messina,  EdD

Have you ever wondered just what makes the creative act special? Is it a confluence of events and timing, or is it a special state, a trance state, that is demarcated from ordinary time? This episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast takes a deep dive conversation on the creative trance and the trickster. 

Dr. Tobi Zausner is a research psychologist, a clinician in private practice, and an 
award-winning visual artist with works in major museums and in private collections 
around the world. Dr. Zausner writes and lectures widely on psychology and human 
potential at academic conferences and charitable events, as well as teaching in graduate programs. 

Dr. Krippner has published numerous papers, book chapters and books. He is a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He has lectured and published widely on human potential, parapsychology and transpersonal psychology, indigenous healing, and humanistic psychology. Dr. Zausner is the author of the new book, The Creative Trance. Dr. Krippner is the author of a paper entitled, Trance &amp; the Trickster. He also has an upcoming autobiography entitled, A Chaotic Life. 

There is a hegemony of waking consciousness in the western mindset that has eclipsed the natural inner landscape of revery and imagination that we still bump up against with indigenous cultures, and that the arts. The Creative Trance &amp; the Trickster work outside the bounds of “normal time and space” and bring us all back to our roots in the as creatures rooted in the earth and capable of imaginal life.
