Psychedelic Integration Therapy

Understanding Psychedelic Preparation & Integration

Psychedelic experiences can be profound, bringing up emotions, memories, and insights that may feel overwhelming or unclear. Proper preparation and integration help you approach these experiences with intention and process them in a way that fosters growth and healing.

While psychedelic therapy is not currently legal in Ontario, many individuals explore psychedelics in legal retreats or recreationally. This space is for those who want to prepare for a psychedelic experience or work through what came up afterward in a safe, supportive, and structured way.

What is Psychedelic Preparation?

Preparation is about setting intentions, understanding potential effects, and creating a safe container for your experience. It may include:

• Exploring your reasons for seeking a psychedelic experience.
• Understanding risks, benefits, and harm reduction strategies.
• Clarifying expectations while embracing uncertainty.
• Preparing your mindset and environment for the experience.

What is Psychedelic Integration?

Integration is the process of making sense of a psychedelic experience and applying insights to daily life. Without integration, the experience may feel distant or confusing. This process can involve:

• Reflecting on emotions, visions, and thoughts that surfaced.
• Processing challenging or unexpected experiences.
• Incorporating insights into your personal growth or healing journey.
• Developing practices to sustain change and awareness.

A Harm Reduction Approach

My approach is harm reduction-based, meaning it is non-judgmental and focused on minimizing risks while maximizing potential benefits. Psychedelics can open doors to healing, but they also require careful navigation. Whether you are considering an experience or processing one, this work is about safety, stability, and integration.

What to Expect in Sessions

Each session is tailored to your needs, but common elements include:

• A safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and experiences.
• Somatic work, nervous system regulation, and grounding practices.
• Meaning-making and integration techniques to support lasting change.

If you are curious about psychedelic preparation or struggling to make sense of an experience, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Reach out to begin this journey together.
