Psychedelic Integration
After your psychedelic journey, my psychedelic integration service is here to help you make sense of your experience and apply its insights to your daily life, offering support for those involved in therapy post-journey and practicing microdosing. This crucial step ensures that the profound changes and realizations encountered can be woven into the fabric of your everyday existence, providing guidance and strategies for integrating these insights into meaningful and lasting change.
My Approach to Psychedelic Integration Therapy
I provide a structured approach to psychedelic integration therapy, focusing on three key phases: preparation, the journey itself, and post-journey integration.
Preparation: Before your psychedelic experience, we work together to create a mental and emotional foundation. This step involves setting intentions and creating a safe mindset.
Journey: During your psychedelic experience, you may encounter profound emotions or realizations. While I do not facilitate the journey itself, I provide support in understanding these experiences afterward.
Post-Journey Integration: Following the journey, we engage in integration sessions that focus on applying the lessons and insights you've gained. These one-on-one sessions are essential for turning the experience into lasting, meaningful change.
Psychedelics Commonly Used in Integration Therapy
Psychedelics such as psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and ketamine are commonly explored in psychedelic integration therapy. Each has unique effects and potential benefits:
Psilocybin: Often used for deep emotional insights and connection to self.
MDMA: Effective in helping to process trauma and strengthen relationships.
LSD: Known for its ability to shift perceptions and enhance creativity.
Ketamine: Frequently used for treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. For those utilizing ketamine, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Psychedelic Integration Therapy vs. Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
While psychedelic assisted therapy involves the use of psychedelics during therapy sessions (where legal), psychedelic integration therapy focuses on processing and applying the insights gained after a psychedelic experience. Integration therapy is about the aftercare—helping you make sense of the journey and incorporate it into your life in meaningful ways.
Is Psychedelic Integration Therapy Right for You?
If you've undergone a psychedelic experience or are exploring microdosing, psychedelic integration therapy may be crucial in helping you solidify the insights gained. This structured approach ensures that the profound shifts you’ve encountered are integrated into your everyday life, providing a foundation for lasting transformation. I offer psychedelic integration therapy to clients in Mill Valley, Marin County, and the San Francisco Bay Area, creating a safe and supportive environment for those navigating their healing journey.
