    Raising Resilient Kids: Balancing Support and Challenge – Keith Kurlander & Dr. Will Van Derveer

    As parents, one of our primary goals is to raise children who are self-assured, adaptable, and equipped to navigate the challenges of adulthood – but striking the right balance between support and challenge is no easy feat. In this episode, we explore this delicate equilibrium of parenthood, sharing our personal experiences at different stages of the journey. We emphasize the importance of repairing ruptures in parent-child relationships to build emotional intelligence. We also consider how to set appropriate boundaries, examining the phenomenon of parental over-protection. As the world rapidly evolves for the next generation, we open dialogue about preparing children for the uncertainties ahead. Our conversation underscores the value of honest self-assessment by parents, community feedback, and open communication with children. Ultimately, asking tough questions – "How is my kid really doing?" "How am I doing as a parent?" – can be daunting, but we believe these introspective pauses are essential for growth. Show notes: ●        Goals of Parenting ●        Balancing Support and Challenge ●        The Unpredictability of Parenting ●        Social-Emotional Learning and Conflict Resolution ●        Emphasizing Practical Skills and Preparing for the Future ●        Community Feedback ●        Family Check-Ins How you can help others in a big way...

    Altered States, Different Goals: Comparing Psychedelic Journeys in Ceremony, Therapy, and Recreation – Keith Kurlander and Dr. Will Van Derveer

    In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving landscape of psychedelics, examining recent legal milestones like Dr. Joe Tafur's victory in Arizona for the use of Ayahuasca as a religious sacrament, as well as the União do Vegetal’s (UDV) landmark Supreme Court case nearly two decades ago. These developments signal a broader trend in the U.S. toward decriminalization and legalization, with states such as Oregon and Colorado leading the way in establishing regulated frameworks for psilocybin services. We also delve into the nuances of psychedelic use across therapeutic, ceremonial, and recreational settings, emphasizing the importance of proper set and setting, especially for first-time users. Through personal stories, we illustrate how even challenging experiences in therapeutic contexts can lead to profound transformation. Additionally, we trace the history from setbacks in the 1980s, when MDMA was classified as a Schedule I substance, to the resurgence of research in the 2000s, highlighting the expanding acceptance of psychedelics for healing and mental health. Show notes: ●      Psychedelics shifted from ceremonial to personal use ●      Shulgin synthesized new psychedelics, including MDMA ●      MDMA research resurgence ●      Ceremonial integrity relies on properly trained guides ●      Therapy versus ceremonial approaches versus recreation ●      Psychedelic therapy requires a comprehensive, supportive framework ●      Ensuring proper support for first-timers How you can help others in a big way...  If you enjoy the Higher Practice Podcast, please leave a quick review on the Apple Podcast app. It makes a big difference in getting the word out to other people who will benefit from this podcast.
