Imposter syndrome is often a survival adaptation. Imposter syndrome is often a survival adaptation.
Especially for those who’ve experienced emotional neglect, it makes perfect sense.

When your worth was never mirrored…
When praise was rare and safety came through achievement…

The nervous system learns: “I must strive to be enough. But if I’m truly seen, I’ll be abandoned.”

🌿 What shows up in adulthood as perfectionism, chronic self-questioning, or fear of exposure…
🌿 Might actually be an intelligent trauma response
🌿 Rooted in a nervous system that still anticipates rejection and invisibility.
In the world of plant medicine, this matters, because if we carry imposter syndrome into facilitation roles without awareness, we risk performing instead of holding.
And unconsciously recreating the very wounds our clients bring into ceremony.

Not all care is healing. In fact, well-intended ac Not all care is healing.
In fact, well-intended actions can retraumatize—especially when working with emotional neglect.
When someone carries the imprint of being unseen, unheard, or chronically dismissed, even subtle misattunements can reinforce the wound.

Here are examples of what not to do as a facilitator:
🌀 Pushing for catharsis before there’s trust
“Let it all out” is harmful when the nervous system isn’t ready. What looks like breakthrough may actually be overwhelm.
🌀 Labeling someone “resistant” when they’re quiet or withdrawn
What you see as resistance might be survival. Pushing through it won’t help—it retraumatizes.
🌀 Projecting urgency or ‘fixing’ energy
Neglect survivors often blame themselves for needing anything. Rushing in with solutions can reinforce shame.
🌀 Over-sharing or trauma-dumping to be relatable
This can blur boundaries and destabilize safety. Attunement isn’t about over-identifying—it’s about staying present.
🌀 Over-comforting in moments of grief
“Don’t cry” or “You’re safe now” might be soothing to you, but they can bypass the deeper pain that needs space.

As facilitators, we are not saviors—we are stewards of safety.

Repair begins with presence, not performance.

Hi dear one, I wanted to slide into your feed with Hi dear one,
I wanted to slide into your feed with a loving reminder: our Black Friday & Birthday Sale ends in 3 days - on December 2nd at midnight PST.

If you’ve been walking the path of healing—personally or professionally—you already know: this work is sacred. And it asks so much of us.

✨ To hold space with integrity.
✨ To stay attuned, especially when it’s hard.
✨ To honour trauma not just as a concept—but as something that lives in the body, in our systems, in our lineages.
✨ To walk alongside Spirit, while staying rooted in the nervous system and the here-and-now.

This is why I created these programs:
To offer an embodied, relational, trauma-informed way of holding space for psychedelic healing. A way that is ethical, heart-centered, and rooted in lived experience.

🌿 20–60% off all our programs
🌿 LIVE & On-Demand Trainings
🌿 And many beautiful Masterclasses & Toolkits to support you

If you’re feeling the call, this is your sign.
If you’re not sure what’s right for you, just comment CALL and we’ll help you find your path.
And if you’re ready to dive in, comment BLACKFRIDAY or click the link in bio to explore the offerings.

What makes this work different is the depth — both in how we learn and how we heal.
In my programs, students aren’t just trained. They are invited into a somatic, trauma-informed journey that transforms them from the inside out.

These containers cultivate far more than technical skill. They reopen pathways of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and embodied presence — the qualities every trauma-informed facilitator truly needs.
