Psychedelic-Integration Therapy
Introduction
The potent healing power of psychedelics has become more validated in recent years. Indigenous communities have been harnessing the power of psychedelics for healing and divination for hundreds of years. Due to recent legal changes, research is finally starting to catch up. The field of mental health has begun to see a resurgence and acceptance of psychedelics.
What is Psychedelic-Integration Therapy
Psychedelic-Integration is a specialized therapy designed to support individuals in making sense of psychedelic experience and seeing them in the greater context of their lives. These types of experiences can include substances like psilocybin (a compound found in magic mushrooms), Ketamine, DMT, and Ayahuasca. This type of therapy acknowledges that psychedelic journeys can be healing, profound, mystical, spiritual, and transformative but also potentially challenging or confusing for some.
How is it Different from Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy?
Psychedelic-Assisted therapy is conducted in conjunction with a mind-altering compound such as Ketamine. In this modality, psychotherapy is conducted during an individual’s psychedelic journey. At this point in time Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is the only legal method of doing this in the state of Texas. Psychedelic-Integration therapy is conducted after an individual has a psychedelic journey.
Does Psychedelic-Integration Apply to Microdosing?
Absolutely. A microdose of a psychedelic is a small amount that is generally below the threshold of noticeable alterations in perception and cognition. Microdosing is a method that has many potential benefits including a reduction in mental health symptoms. Experiences had while microdosing can still be transformative worth exploring.
When are the Psychedelics Taken?
It is important to note that Psychedelic-Integration Therapy does not seek to promote the use of mind-altering substances. Instead, it is a way of supporting people who are already journeying on their own time. This type of therapy aims to maximize the healing benefits of psychedelics while minimizing potential risks and challenges through responsible and informed psychotherapeutic practices.
Ready to take the next step?
As a therapist, I am very aware of the powerful healing potential of psychedelics. I work with clients that not only want to work on their therapeutic goals, but also want to discuss psychedelic experiences that they have had. I approach Psychedelic-Integration sessions with warmth, and non-judgment. These medicines are powerful and deserving of deep respect. I also provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. If you are interested in working with me or if you have any questions, I invite you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call.
