Welcome to a gorgeous episode featuring the radiant Julian Bermudez—a guide, facilitator, and trained therapist whose practice is devoted to helping individuals reconnect with their deepest selves—their psyche, emotions, and innate wisdom—often through trauma-informed coaching, and occasionally through the careful inclusion of psychedelics. His work is grounded in the belief that healing is not only possible, but inherent in all of us.In this episode, we explore:

• The psychedelic experience as a gateway to deep self-connection
• Trauma not as what happened to us, but how we responded to it
• The power of inquiry: What are our patterns? Where did they come from? What purpose do they serve?
• The crucial difference between influence and interference in psychedelic facilitation
• How radical self-trust, not blind trust in a facilitator, is the foundation of true healing
• The importance of aligning our lives with our core values

Julian shares what it means to hold space with integrity and clarity, taking full responsibility for the energy he brings into the room while guiding others to reclaim their inner authority.We also reflect on the story of Dr. Lida Fatemi, who grew up in war-torn Iran, and how love, care, and radical self-awareness transformed what could have been an overwhelming trauma into a regulated and joyful way of being.This conversation inspires bravery, self-trust, and respect for the human condition.
