Key Concepts in Psychedelic Healing
Set & Setting: Your mindset and physical environment profoundly shape the therapeutic experience. Intention, emotional readiness, and a safe, grounded space are essential components.
Integration: The days and weeks following a psychedelic experience are where much of the healing occurs. Integration helps translate insights into lasting change through reflection, embodiment, and therapeutic support.
The Role of a Trained Facilitator: Having a skilled, trauma-informed practitioner ensures emotional safety, grounded support, and ethical guidance before, during, and after the experience.
Non-ordinary States: Psychedelics create altered states that can open access to memory, emotion, symbolism, and meaning in ways traditional talk therapy may not.
