PT535 – Jungian Psychology, Psychedelics, and the Multiplicity of Self, with Maria Papaspyrou & Dr. Ido Cohen
Manage episode 432118033 series 1088550
Jungian psychology takes a fascinating look at the relationship between the conscious and unconscious parts of our minds. How is this framework brought more to the forefront through psychedelics and an understanding of our many parts?
In this episode of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, Johanna interviews Jung experts and Vital instructors: Maria Papaspyrou, psychotherapist and co-founder and director of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy (IPT); and Dr. Ido Cohen, clinical psychologist and founder of The Integration Circle.
They talk about the experiences that helped them first understand the concept of multiple different parts making up their being, and dive into what it is about psychedelics that allows us to discover and work with these different parts: how the protector parts of our psyche work overtime to keep parts away from us, and how psychedelics can dissolve them, leading to a better understanding of ourselves. How much of our persona is based on who we feel we’re supposed to be? What shadow parts are stopping us from being our true selves? And what amazing parts of ourselves have yet to be discovered?
They discuss:
- The idea of self as a unified entity: Does this concept make sense anymore?
- Risks in understanding how different parts work together, from justifying behaviors to inflating defensive structures
- The need to move away from solution-based to more process-focused frameworks, and the power in treating healing and growth as an ongoing process
- The rejection of the shadow and the archetypal (and impossible) wish to extinguish all suffering
- The large discrepancy between what people think being a psychedelic facilitator is vs. the reality
and more!
If you really want to dig into Jungian ideas, Jungian psychology is one of the new specialization tracks featured in the next cohort of Vital, beginning September 16. If you want to know more, send us an email or attend one of the next Vital Q+As. For links, head to the show notes page.
