The Journey from Suicidal Ideation to Self-Trust - Julian Bermudez

Julian Bermudez joins Something For Everybody this week. Julian is a therapist, guide, and companion on the path of healing. He works closely with people navigating trauma, identity, and the integration of psychedelic experiences—helping them reconnect with the deep, unshakable truth of who they are.

In this conversation, Julian shares his journey of overcoming childhood trauma, suicidal ideation, and the impact of relationships on mental health. He discusses the importance of self-awareness, the limitations of traditional psychology, and the transformative potential of psychedelics in healing.
