The Psychedelic Closet Podcast
This is a place to explore the untold stories from the beyond, to help us embrace our full human nature. So if you like me, feel like you don’t have anyone to talk to about these magical, sometimes frightening, eye-opening, awe-inducing and mystery-invoking experiences, this is for you.
In each episode, you'll get to hear stories from fellow Psychonauts, Elders and Therapists about one of their psychedelic journeys and how it has influenced their lives.
Episodes will come out fortnightly, on the new and full moon, so keep an eye on the sky.
My goal is to normalise conversations about psychedelic experiences in everyday life, so we can support each other in making sense of what they mean, and allow us to collectively open up to the mystery that is life.
You can find this show wherever you listen to your podcast.

E9: Journey up the river of grief - with Dr. Prash Puspanathan
Today I talked with Dr Prash Puspanathan about a recent clinical trial he participated in with DMT.
Prash is a practising psychiatrist and has been a long-time advocate for the responsible use of psychedelics in the medical field in Australia since way before it was cool. He is also the co-founder of Enosis Therapeutics, a VR company working to make psychedelic integration therapy more accessible.
In this episode, he talks about his motivation to become a psychotherapist, the ordeal he went through during the trial to heal some grief he had experienced since the loss of his father, the important work of integration post a session like this and how this experience as a participant has given him new insight as a therapist himself.
I learned a lot from Prash and believe he sets an incredible example of how we can all approach these substances, as a therapist or as a patient, with the degree of respect and reverence they deserve.
Put on your lab coats and get out your clipboards as this is a great story to study.
