Making sense of transformative experiences
Psychedelic experiences can unlock profound insights and healing, yet they can also be intense, confusing, or even overwhelming. Whether you’ve had a deeply meaningful journey or faced challenging emotions in an unsafe or unsupported environment, integration therapy provides a compassionate space to process and make sense of these experiences.
The Role of Integration Therapy
During integration sessions, we approach your experience with openness and curiosity, aiming to create a comprehensive understanding of its impact on your life. Together, we explore any difficult emotions or memories that surfaced, helping you uncover insights and determine how they align with your life’s direction.
Even positive and enlightening experiences can present challenges. You may feel disconnected from those around you or uncertain about how to incorporate newfound perspectives into your daily life. Integration therapy helps bridge this gap by supporting you in navigating these shifts, fostering long-term growth and positive transformation.
The Science of Psychedelics
R​esearch suggests that psychedelics can influence brain activity in areas linked to mood, cognition, and perception, such as the prefrontal cortex and default mode network. These changes can disrupt habitual thought patterns, allowing for expansive thinking and a deeper sense of connection. However, these same mechanisms can also bring unresolved traumas or anxieties to the surface, requiring skilled support to process and integrate (sources: NIDA, FDA)
Why Integration Matters
The benefits of psychedelics are often realized after the journey ends, through the insights and changes you make in your life. Integration therapy is a vital part of this process, helping you translate profound experiences into meaningful and sustainable growth.
