Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

Episode 137:

In this episode, we delve deep into trauma-informed psychedelic therapy. Sunny shares her journey into the field, how early experiences in Latin American plant medicine inspired her, and the development of her groundbreaking book, The Theradelic Approach. We explore her unique PANTHER protocol, which guides therapists in preparation, attunement, trauma mapping, and integration during therapy. Sunny discusses blending methodologies like IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with psychedelic sessions to foster deep, lasting healing. She also highlights the importance of trauma-informed facilitation, ethical practice, and creating safe, community-driven spaces for authentic, relational healing. This conversation provides essential insights for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

About Sunny:

Sunny Strasburg is a Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice, licensed in California, Utah, and Maryland. She is Internal Family Systems trained and an EMDR Certified trauma specialist. She is a graduate of the Certification for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Sunny utilizes Gottman Couples Method, attachment theory, Jungian Depth psychology, Internal Family Systems, and Ego State work. Mrs. Strasburg offers Ketamine Assisted Therapy and retreats.

Mrs. Strasburg received a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, which focuses on Jungian Depth Psychology and houses the library of comparative mythologist, Dr. Joseph Campbell. This education was fortunate because of its holistic psychological orientation. The breadth and depth of learning at Pacifica is truly unique. Students are trained in Jungian and Freudian concepts. There, she learned about transference, counter-transference, and the importance of holding the tension of opposites. At Pacifica, Sunny understood that humans are complex archetypal beings, storytellers, and mythmakers.
