Why Psychedelic Integration Matters
Navigating the Unknown:
Psychedelic experiences are mind-manifesting, bringing forward thoughts, emotions, and memories—many of which may have been suppressed or ignored. While this can lead to profound healing, it can also bring up challenges. We ensure that you understand the range of possibilities—from euphoria and transformation to deep emotional discomfort or challenging realizations.
Safety and Support:
This work requires a solid foundation of safety, trust, and preparedness. We provide guidance in establishing clear intentions, expectations, and help you create a safe environment for your experience.
Transformative Healing:
While the potential for personal growth is immense, there’s also the possibility of facing deeply challenging emotions or psychological material. With proper preparation, you can navigate these challenges more effectively, ensuring that they don’t become barriers to healing.
What to Expect in Psychedelic Integration Therapy:
Pre-Experience Preparation: The key to a transformative psychedelic experience begins with preparation. We collaborate with you to establish a solid foundation before you embark on your journey. This includes:
Setting Intentions: We help you clarify your goals for the experience—whether you’re seeking emotional healing, spiritual exploration, or self-discovery. Being clear about your intentions helps you approach the journey with a sense of purpose.
Psychoeducation: It’s essential to understand the effects of psychedelics on your mind and body. We’ll provide information on what to expect during the experience, including the potential for emotional breakthroughs, visions, and shifts in perception.
The Importance of Set & Setting: The environment in which you take the substance and your mindset (the "set and setting") can significantly influence the experience. We’ll guide you in creating a safe and supportive physical and emotional environment for your journey, ensuring that everything from lighting to emotional readiness is aligned.
Expectation Management: It’s crucial to be mentally prepared for the full spectrum of experiences that psychedelics can bring. We will discuss the potential challenges and how to navigate them, ensuring that you are not caught off guard by difficult moments that may arise.Here's how it works:
What to expect During the experience
While we do not provide substances, our role is to equip you with tools and knowledge that help you manage the experience with awareness and confidence. This includes:
Grounding Techniques
Learn strategies to stay calm, centered, and emotionally balanced if the experience becomes overwhelming.
Navigating the Journey:
Discuss what to expect emotionally and mentally, and how to navigate difficult moments—whether it’s confusion, fear, or emotional release.
Self-Care During the Journey:
We’ll explore how you can maintain a sense of safety, calm, and presence throughout your journey, helping you stay grounded when needed.
The average number of sessions is typically 4-6 ketamine treatments, plus a follow-up integration session for each treatment.
Post-Experience Integration:
Integration is one of the most crucial aspects of psychedelic healing. After the experience, we guide you through a process of integration, helping you make sense of the insights, emotions, and revelations that emerged. This phase includes:
Processing Emotional Breakthroughs:
We provide a safe space for you to explore and make sense of the intense emotions or insights that may have surfaced during the experience. This includes helping you connect those insights to your daily life and ongoing healing.
Ongoing Self-Evolution:
Psychedelic journeys often illuminate areas of your life that need attention or transformation. We’ll help you take actionable steps toward weaving your experience into your daily practices, helping you continue your self-evolution long after the experience.
Creating Meaningful Change:
The insights gained from psychedelic experiences can be profound. We explore how these insights align with your current challenges or personal goals, and help you integrate them in ways that continue to benefit your ongoing journey.
