In this episode, host Jonathan Schecter sits down with Dr. Nick Bruss—licensed psychedelic therapist, clinical researcher, and Level 3-trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner—to explore how parts work and psychedelic-assisted therapy can radically transform healing and integration.
You’ll learn:
What Internal Family Systems (IFS) is and how it helps you connect with wounded, protective, and exiled parts of yourself.
How ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works, why it pairs so well with IFS, and the difference between psycholytic and psychedelic dosing.
Practical integration tools for working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and complex trauma.
How IFS and psychedelic integration foster self-compassion, emotional resilience, and authentic connection—both with yourself and others.
Plus, you’ll experience a guided inner-listening practice to help you connect with the parts of yourself that most need your attention right now.
Whether you’re a therapist, coach, or someone curious about IFS and psychedelics, this conversation is a practical and inspiring roadmap for bringing expanded-state insights into everyday life.
