Anxiety, Emotional Dysregulation, and the Need for Balance and Centeredness

Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like the usual tools just aren’t working anymore? We’re back with season two of the Microdosing for Healing podcast, and we’re starting it off with a look at what’s happening in microdosing practice today—and why the needs of our community are changing.

I sit down with fellow guide and teacher Lynda Samphire to discuss the emotional heaviness so many are feeling, as well as why Amanita muscaria is growing as a deeply supportive medicine for nervous system healing and restoration. Listen in to learn how this unique medicine works differently from psilocybin, when it might be a better starting point, and how we’ve seen it open up space for true emotional regulation and deep rest. You’ll learn why it’s more important than ever to let go of “quick fixes” and slow down to find true healing.

  • “People are looking to psilocybin microdosing… to move through an uncomfortable feeling or emotion more quickly, when really, it is big honesty. It’s big truth.” - Kayse Gehret
