Listen to my interview with JJ Reuscas

Heal Smarter

In this episode, we discuss Theradelic Approach — a powerful and integrative framework that combines psychedelic-assisted therapy, trauma-informed care, archetypal psychology, and creative expression to support deep and lasting healing.

Sunny shares her personal evolution from artist and psychonaut to trauma-specialized therapist trained in EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and other advanced modalities.

She introduces the PANTHER Method: Preparation, Attunement, Needs of Protectors, Trauma Mapping, Holding Space, Empathy/Engagement, and Resolution/Integration — a structured yet flexible roadmap for safe and transformational psychedelic work. 🌱

We explore:

🔸 Why psychedelics aren’t a quick fix and require skillful integration

🔸 How art, myth, and symbolic language enrich therapy

🔸 The importance of therapist self-work and countertransference awareness

🔸 Healing trauma in leaders to catalyze collective change

🔸 Tools for emotional regulation and self-inquiry like: “What part is speaking now?”

Sunny also opens up about her daily performance habits — nature, breathwork, meditation, and supportive relationships — and honors the mentors who shaped her path, including Dick Schwartz, James Hollis, and indigenous plant medicine teachers.

This is a deep dive into how modern therapy and ancient wisdom meet to optimize human potential. Whether you’re a therapist, seeker, or curious explorer—this conversation offers practical tools, insight, and inspiration.
