335. Plant Medicines as Tools and Integrating the Work (Shadow Work Series Part 6 of 22)

The Playground

Plant medicines can open doors to profound healing, but they’re not a substitute for the inner work required to create lasting change. While these tools can provide profound insights and open doors to deeper self-awareness, they’re not a shortcut or a substitute for the real work—feeling, processing, and integrating your emotions. We’ll explore the balance between using plant medicines as powerful allies versus leaning on them as crutches. If you’ve ever been curious about plant medicine or wondered how to approach it responsibly in your healing journey, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective. Let’s talk tools, integration, and honoring the inner work.

In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows.
