Psychedelic Integration Therapy
Psychedelic assisted therapy is scientifically proven to be profoundly beneficial for many clients, specifically people struggling with long term depression, anxiety and PTSD. Currently there are clinical trials all over the world with very promising outcomes and in many countries it is possible to access legal treatment.
This has led to a surge and "renaissance" of the use of psychedelics, within and outside of therapeutic settings.
In Ireland it is currently not legal to offer psychedelic therapy outside of the very few clinical trials that are ongoing at present. However, many people take psychedelics either on their own privately, or during shamanic or "healing" retreats. These modalities dont always offer the required therapeutic aftercare and integration that is needed for these experiences to be beneficial and helpful. In fact, in the wrong "set" and "setting", psychedelic experiences can be experienced as overwhelming, anxiety inducing and destabelising.
Lisa does not offer psychedelic assisted therapy in Ireland. However, she offers integration therapy to anyone who has had psychedelic experiences (or empathiogenic experiences) they wish to understand or integrate further.
This can be in regards to experiences that were very rich and full and positive in nature, experiences that were difficult to understand or make sense of due to their level of symbolism and abstraction, spiritual or transpersonal experiences or insights, or experiences that were very difficult and challenging.
Psychedelic Integration Therapy sessions last 60 minutes and cost 90 Euros per session and can be online or in person.
More about Psychedelic Integration Therapy
When Psychedelics are used in a therapeutic, very safe set and setting, the effects of these sessions can be profoundly significant and aid a healing process profoundly. A lot of the material that emerges (sometimes very directly, sometimes more hidden in symbolism and imagery) can give us direct insight and connection to our unconscious in a way we have never accessed before. As psychedelic sessions can last anything between 4 and 18 hours, a lot of material and information can emerge and it requires a lot of time to integrate and make sense of the experiences afterwards.
Working with a specially trained and skilled therapist during the integration process over a longer period of time can significantly help to optimise the healing potential of such sessions.
For people who have experienced psychedelics in less safe or even unsafe sets and settings, these experiences can be experienced as profoundly challenging, anxiety inducing and ungrounding. Working with an experienced and skilled therapist can help to integrate these experiences and return to a more grounded and peaceful place within.
