Jessie is four ketamine-sessions deep, and gives an update on its effects.  Hilah opens up a conversation on the concept of "shadow self", often credited to Jung but truly an idea that's old as hell. They uncover some truths about themselves and Jessie recounts a dream in which she was a prostitute with zero work ethic. They decide that self-reflection and shadow-work is hard for fragile egos. Speaking of shadowy shit: A listener admits she is in love with her cousin! Is this a case of (the very controversial) Genetic Sexual Attraction? And is GSA pseudo-science? Hilah thinks so, but Jessie isn't so sure ... Finally they discuss the "benefits" of secrets and lies.
