Dive into the transformative processes of surrender and letting go during psychedelic experiences, and learn how these active engagements require courage and trust to release the burdens of power and control. Emphasizing the importance of the present moment, Jimmy discusses overcoming fear-based resistance and fostering personal growth through trauma-informed approaches and mindfulness preparation.
This episode provides an in-depth exploration of how surrendering and letting go function as transformative processes within psychedelic experiences. It begins by explaining that while these actions might appear passive, they are in fact active engagements requiring courage, trust, and presence.
Jimmy highlights the significance of understanding these concepts, particularly within the realm of psychedelic therapy, where surrendering is often seen as key to transformation. He also stresses the importance of trauma-informed care, emphasizing that language around surrender should foster compassion and understanding rather than evoke self-blame or inadequacy.
He discusses the root of resistance, attributing it largely to fear—both mental and physical, noting that our conditioned desire to control is a defense mechanism against fear of the unknown, and how a trusted facilitator can help individuals navigate these fears during psychedelic journeys.
By engaging altered states of consciousness, psychedelics offer opportunities to challenge entrenched narratives and open pathways to reclaim personal power. Furthermore, it underscores the role of preparation, suggesting mindfulness and safety practices as critical for effectively navigating these experiences.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
