When I left my home to study abroad, I did not realize that along with my belongings, I was bringing with me invisible wounds of trauma, and all the coping mechanisms I had learned as a kid. It took a miserable college experience, moving countries again, a marriage and a divorce, a wonderful therapist and my discovery of psychedelics as tools for mental health, for me to start piecing together the puzzle that held the answers to who I was. Today I can say that putting in the effort to find myself was the single most meaningful decision of my life, and I reap the benefits of it on a daily basis.Website - http://www.curasanajourneys.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/curasanajourneys/---Timestamps:(00:00:28) Introduction to the Unfiltered Union podcast and guest, Elias Moscano, sharing his transformative journey with psychedelics for mental health improvement.(00:08:29) Discussion on the importance of therapy in mental health journeys and the decision to seek therapy for addiction and behavioral challenges.(00:14:36) Exploration of the use of psychedelics in mental health, pronunciation of the business name 'Curasane,' and the significance of set, setting, and integration in psychedelic experiences.(00:32:05) Analysis of the impact of psychedelics on self-discovery, decision-making, and personal growth, emphasizing the need for openness and responsible facilitation.(00:43:10) Discussion on the decriminalization of psychedelics in certain states, the potential benefits of psychedelic coaching for various individuals, and considerations for safe and effective psychedelic experiences.---Want more of the show?
