As you’ve probably heard, psychedelic medicine is so much more than the actual substances themselves. While it’s not impossible to derive benefit from an isolated consumption of a psychedelic substance, for patients to get the most out of their psychedelic therapies, it’s crucial that there be preparation for the journey beforehand and integration afterward.
But what exactly does that entail? And who is trained to do this kind of work?
To answer those questions, we are honored to have panelists on this month’s webinar to cover:
- Why preparation/integration are important
- What preparation for a psychedelic journey entails
- What integration can look like
- Who is trained to do preparation/integration
- How to know when a patient’s preparation or integration course are complete enough to end formal sessions
…and much more!
As always, there will be ample time for audience Q & A, so you’ll get to interact with the panelists directly!
