EP 161 | Protecting Your Sensitivity After Psychedelics
Fri Jan 30 2026
Psychedelics open you fast. They snap you awake. They can return sensitivity, perception, and truth to a system that has been armored for a long time.
And then you go back to your life. Where nothing has changed. The pace doesn’t slow down. The stress doesn’t ease. The media keeps shouting. The nervous system stays braced.
In this episode, I talk about what happens when sensitivity comes back online in a world that doesn’t know how to care for it. Not because the medicine failed. Not because you’re doing it wrong. But because openness requires protection, rhythm, and support to become embodied and lived.
This is a personal story about awakening, destabilization, nervous system overwhelm, and the long road of learning how to root the mystical into everyday reality.
It’s about why so many sincere, committed people struggle after powerful medicine work, and why integration is not about fixing yourself, but about creating the conditions where sensitivity can stay open without burning out.
