How Psychedelics May Shift Polyamory with Justin Natoli - Ep 44

Open Deeply Podcast

In this eye-opening episode, Jason Natoli, JD, LMFT, and founder of the Queer Medicine Community, tells us about his amazing chapter within the book, Queering Psychedelics entitled, “How Psychedelics Can Guide the Transformative Journey of Polyamory”. He discusses how psychedelics can help with three primary struggles within polyamory: shame, past trauma, and difficulty transcending labels. Then, he explains that, based on his research, people who seek out monogamy or non-monogamy, do so to either 1) avoid discomfort and satisfy desires or 2) pursue a transformative journey. And according to Justin, “For those of us who walk the transformative path of polyamory, the Universe itself is our soul mate.” In this episode, he unpacks what he means by that along with reading to us his Queer Creation story that is so magical that it’s a wonder that we have gone this long without it. And so, we hope you join us for this delightful episode, as once again, we dare to open deeply.
