Good Enough: A Conversation on Trauma, Healing, and Psychedelic Integration with Julian Bermudez
Welcome to the 51st episode of the Back to Human Podcast.
In this deeply human and introspective conversation, I sit down with Julian Bermudez—a psychedelic integration guide whose work centers around emotional healing and reconnecting with our authentic selves.
Julian shares how his own upbringing and personal struggles led him to explore the power of psychedelics as a means of true emotional integration—not escape. Together, we unpack the emotional imprints of childhood trauma, addictive patterns, and how modern busyness can mask our deepest pain.
In this episode we dive into:
00:47 Julian’s journey into psychedelic therapies and the events that shaped his path
04:24 The messages we internalize from childhood, including the cost of “crying it out”
10:39 How we often trade one addiction for another—from destruction to obsession
15:16 The subtle ways we sacrifice authenticity for attachment—and why that matters
18:43 Why resisting emotion gives it more control over us
29:02 What makes an experience “bad” during a psychedelic session
31:16 The value of having a guide: holding space vs. controlling outcomes
35:20 Success as a front—what are we really chasing? Respect? Control? Worth?
55:28 How busyness can be a distraction from distress
49:05 The unintended messages we send our children when we’re always “busy”
01:00:00 Why we’re so driven to escape discomfort—and how psychedelics disrupt that pattern
01:02:50 My personal experience with food addiction and where it really came from
01:06:57 The importance of showing up for your family with presence
01:08:23 Understanding addiction as short-term relief with long-term harm
01:10:24 How your environment shapes your behavior, often unconsciously
01:16:42 The potential to misuse plant medicine—and bypass the real work
01:22:28 Our disconnection from nature, each other, and ourselves
01:24:01 What are the core human emotions?
01:26:52 Tools for managing emotion: not suppressing, but accepting
01:21:01 How acknowledging a child’s emotion often diffuses its intensity
01:36:05 The power of painful emotions as portals for growth and reconnection
01:37:50 How “negative” emotions can bring us back to the present
01:39:47 The connection between repressed emotion and physical pain
This episode is a compassionate exploration of the emotional landscapes we often avoid—and how the right tools, perspectives, and conversations can help us come back to ourselves and show up for those we love.
