In this week's episode of Inside Your Head, I chat to Boledi Tladi, a counselling psychologist, about the new word on the block: psychedelics.We chat about how it is used in psychedelic-assisted therapy, how it impacts us psychologically and various factors people need to consider before using it. Psychedelics is actually not such a new thing and there has been more and more research done to understand how it affects our brain and can potentially benefit our emotional and psychological functioning.I hope you enjoy this episode!Some resources suggested by Boledi:<ul><li>Documentary - How to change your mind (On Netflix)</li><li>Documentary - The Goop Lab (On Netflix)</li><li><a href="https://psychonauts.co.za/">https://psychonauts.co.za/</a></li></ul>Other resources available:<ul><li><a href="https://www.equanimityretreat.com/">https://www.equanimityretreat.com/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzvzWO0NU50">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzvzWO0NU50</a></li></ul>

SELF-COMPASSION - WITH MARONÉ OOSTHUIZEN

This podcast started off as Inside Your Head, where I spent time discussing various topics related to mental health with other professionals in the field. It has since, changed a bit in shape and form, into a podcast aiming to create a platform where I can share people's stories, with the hope to help them and at the same time create a space where people can gain some insights into their own current life stressors and how the process of therapy can help in that regard. I also want to share my experience of being a psychotherapist and just share information about therapy and the therapy process.
