How fear of death led one father to overcome the grief of the loss of his son - and help other parents who have lost children in their journeys. In this episode, Jon welcomes Larry Carlat, a grief counselor and writer, who shares his profound journey with psychedelics following the tragic loss of his son Rob. Driven by a desire to confront his anxiety about death and connect with his son’s spirit, Larry recounts his initial foray into plant medicine, and the incredible healing that it engendered. Larry details some of the remarkable encounters he had with spiritual entities – including his mother, father, and Rob – while on psilocybin, as well as the moments of ego dissolution and emotional catharsis that helped reshape his perspective on life, death, and spirituality. Larry also shares insights from his own counseling work, where he guides other bereaved parents and siblings through their grief journeys.
