How can psychedelic experiences impact how you see yourself through the lens of gender identity? That's what we explore in this edition of the podcast, featuring G.Luca Oake.

Luca is a strategic advisor and mentor who works with individuals and organizations interested in growth, and someone we've been wanting to feature in the podcast for some time.

In this episode, we dive deeper into some important considerations surrounding the question of gender identity, including:

• What led to Luca's PTSD diagnosis, and what lessons she learned from her 16 different psychedelic therapy sessions that helped her integrate her gender identity.
• How doing this deep work has shaped how she shows up in the world, her unique perspectives and the work that she does in the psychedelic space.
• How many of us unintentionally communicate in ways that can be challenging for non-binary gender individuals, and how even a small shift in our communication can make a real difference in supporting others.
• What mental health professionals can learn about the intersection of psychedelics and gender identity and ways to support those struggling with these issues.
• How creating more awareness about gender identity can help all of us deepen our connections with others and evolve as human beings.

This session is an important one for anyone wanting to better understand gender identity and expand our effectiveness in working with others. It's especially important for mental health professionals working in psychedelic therapy, who will likely encounter patients and clients working through these experiences.
