In this conversation, Alice and psychotherapist Jeanne Surmont discuss the integration of inner child work into psychedelic therapy. They explore the concept of trauma and how it relates to the concept of the inner child, emphasizing that trauma is not limited to extreme experiences but can also result from emotional neglect and loneliness. They explain how psychedelic sessions can bring up childhood memories and emotions, and how practitioners guide participants gently through the process of healing and integration. They discuss the power of imagination and inner child work, as well as the role of guidance in regulating emotions.
