Amie recounts how psychedelic work brought buried family history and grief into awareness, with Kristin describing the reprocessing she observed.
The brief
Kristin Weitzel joins Amie Hornaman to connect breathwork, nervous-system regulation, health optimization, and psychedelic-assisted therapy in an unusually personal conversation.
The central argument is that unresolved experiences can remain active in the nervous system, shaping behavior and stress until a safe therapeutic container makes them easier to process.
Kristin offers grounded practices for noticing activation, including stillness, body scans, and daily check-ins that connect physical sensations with thoughts and emotions.
Amie describes psychedelic work bringing buried material into awareness, while Kristin explains the emotional reprocessing and grief visible during Amie’s session.
The discussion ends with a practical caution: transformation may be possible, but facilitator trust, safety, physiological awareness, and integration are essential.
