Q: How does psychedelic therapy work?

Preparation: Before undergoing a psychedelic session, individuals meet with their therapist to prepare for the experience. This preparation might involve setting intentions, discussing fears or hopes, and establishing a trusting relationship with the therapist. The Psychedelic Session: Under the guidance of trained therapists, individuals consume a psychedelic substance in a controlled, supportive environment. The therapist is present throughout the experience, offering emotional support and ensuring the individual's safety. The altered state of consciousness can lead to profound experiences, including vivid visualizations, emotional breakthroughs, and a sense of unity or interconnectedness. Integration: After the psychedelic experience, individuals participate in integration sessions where they process their experiences with their therapist. Integration is a crucial step in which insights and emotional shifts that occur during the psychedelic session are assimilated into the individual's daily life and psychological understanding. This process can involve discussing the experience, interpreting its meaning, and translating it into actionable changes or resolutions.
