<description><![CDATA[<h1>Episode Notes</h1>
<p>This episode features Eric Haas, a therapist who integrates psychedelic-assisted work and embodiment-based practices into his clinical approach.</p>
<p>He advocates for working through the body as a pathway to healing the mind, drawing on movement disciplines such as long-distance running and dance to cultivate awareness, resilience, and deeper self-understanding.</p>
<p>Eric facilitates psychedelic retreats and works with clients in one-to-one settings, often supporting individuals who have found limited benefit from traditional talk therapy or medication alone.</p>
<p>In this conversation, we explore his work and underlying philosophy, and discuss practical ways to engage with embodiment practices to create greater psychological space and support sustained growth and development.</p>
