In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ti. Ti shared her personal journey of being the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants to Australia, having to take on the mother role in her family, and dealing with the trauma that caused, eventually healing through Yoga and psychedelics. She gets real with us, so please enjoy this episode, with Ti.
We discussed:
Our essence does not change, gets revealed by the medicines
Dr. Gabor Mate, under addiction is trauma
A lot of trauma underneath
Daughter of Vietnamese refugees
Long, tough divorce
Dad gone, new-born sister, suicide attempts
Take on father role, look after mom
Tried at a young age
Finally able to open up
Broken on inside; strong on outside
Spiritual practice began with Yoga; energy changed/shifted
Suddenly a crying mess, softer, getting healthy
Became mindful, present
Started working with medicines; intentions
Medicines are like cheat codes
Intentions
Easy to retraumatize yourself if you don’t prepare properly (not just with psychedelics). Build that foundation.
Have somebody with you; work with a pro
Trip sitters need to know how to do that
