On this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Annaliese Oatman, a multi-disciplinary artist and psychedelic somatic therapist, for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy.


I like the idea that self-regulation is not one little practice that we engage in the moment that we’re dysregulated, but it’s a lifestyle.
— Annalise Oatman

Show Notes:

You’re doing the work. You’re moving forward, but you feel like something is standing in the way of your progress. You’re reaching for something but feel like it’s out of your grasp. Your energy feels stuck. Maybe you could benefit by shaking up your nervous system. Throughout the ages, in cultures around the world, spiritual seekers have used psychedelics to enhance their exploration and attain new insights. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a soul support for highly sensitive women, welcomes Annalise Oatman, LCSW, a multi-disciplinary artist and a psychedelic-somatic therapist, for a discussion of amplifying the therapeutic process through the use of psychedelics. They talk about psychedelic-assisted therapy and how it is best used, and how highly sensitive women might find it to be a useful tool.
