Coming Soon (hopefully): Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
It is anticipated that MDMA (molly/ecstasy) will be federally approved by the end of 2024 for the treatment of PTSD. In anticipation, I have received education in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy through MAPS, the organization leading the research trials of MDMA for the treatment of PTSD. I intend to further my training and seek certification once legalization occurs and a pathway for provision of this treatment is established.
Currently, I continue to train in various aspects of supporting those seeking to use these medicines for psychological, spiritual and emotional growth. I participate in a number of organizations supporting harm reduction and the ethical use of plant medicines including the Psychedelic Guide Network and American Psychedelic Practitioners Association.
Given the increased use of chemical and plant medicines to expand consciousness and address mental health concerns, I am dedicated to supporting seekers not only minimize potential pitfalls but also make the most of their experiences. Psychedelics are sacred, powerful substances and their usage can be transformative. They can also be terrifying, dysregulating and dangerous. In the interest of harm reduction I am offering preparation and integrations services. More information below…
Prep and Integration Services
Psychedelic Preparation
Preparation (pre-dose) sessions are helpful because it’s been found that one’s environmental and inner influences - often referred to as ‘set and setting’ - can have a significant impact on the psychedelic experience. Preparation can reduce the occurrence of a challenging experience or “bad trip”.
During preparation sessions I will help you:
identify your intentions for the medicine work
work with any parts of you that are anxious
establish safety protocols to mitigate the chances of a challenging trip
decide on a meaningful ritual for your journey
develop practices to mitigate anxiety and deal with frightening or challenging aspects of the journey
learn to trust your inner healing intelligence, present moment awareness and beginner’s mind
Psychedelic Integration
Integration sessions help you to make sense of your experiences and translate them into new behaviors in your daily life. Most psychedelic guides say that integration is as important as the psychedelic journey itself.
During integration sessions I will help you:
take advantage of the period of increased neuroplasticity to bring your experience into your daily life
make a plan for real, lasting behavioral changes in all realms of your life
bring into alignment the different aspects of your self - physical, emotional, spiritual, mental
process any challenging aspects of the journey to relieve distress and prevent long term damage
explore how to improve existing relationships with self and others
work with any material or parts that need a deeper dive
