The Power of Psychedelic Assisted Couples Work: The Paradox of Personal Growth within Relationships
Manage episode 498581833 series 3493598
Today Mickelle revisits one of House of Peregrine’s most-listened conversations - with Jeanine Souren and Hans van Wechem of The Experiential Training Institute in Amsterdam. Together, they explore how psychedelic assisted couples work can open new layers of growth, intimacy, and autonomy in romantic partnerships, especially for those navigating identity shifts, major life transitions, or the subtle unraveling that can come with international relocation.
Jeanine and Hans share their unique perspective on why this approach often appeals to men who may be less drawn to traditional therapy, and how ancient rites of passage are echoed in the transformative nature of psychedelic work. They speak candidly about emotional safety, therapeutic touch, and what happens when one partner begins to grow while the other stays still —- a dynamic made even more complex by life abroad. Whether you're new to this modality or simply curious, this episode offers a spacious, grounded entry point into what’s possible when we heal together.
Key Moments:
- Why psychedelic therapy resonates with men in a different way than talk therapy
- What happens when one partner grows, and the other doesn’t
- How psychedelics invite couples into deeper emotional honesty
- The link between relocation, relational change, and inner transformation
