Course Description
The goal of this group is to provide a safe, informative and confidential place for therapists and other practitioners to discuss their clinical work in psychedelic integration. This group will meet weekly for 12 weeks, and will keep the same members for the 12 week period. We will be learning the principles of Psychedelic Integration and methods for working with psychedelic experiences into ongoing psychotherapies. Members will be asked to present case material from their own practices once or twice during the group, and guided discussion will be encouraged. This group will be a supportive environment with the same confidentiality parameters as a psychotherapy group, and invites personal sharing, but is not a venue for therapists to discuss underground work with psychedelics that they may have done as a therapist. The group is open to practicing clinicians of all persuasions but will emphasize psychological and psychodynamic perspectives, including discussions of transference and countertransference. We are asking CCG members to commit 12 week’s participation upon registration; it is not a drop-in group.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
- Prepare to understand the motivation of patients to seek out and participate in psychedelic experiences that are not based in fear and caution only.
- Describe and acknowledge personal therapist reactions to patients who seek psychedelic experiences and want to discuss them in therapy sessions
- Compare psychedelic experiences that are t
- Plan for the shift in focus in sessions from transference focus to a relationship with psychedelic medicines that may be idealized
- Revise therapist expectations of change and transformation to include a new, powerful “other” that has suddenly emerged in the therapy relationship
- Prepare for a shift in language, meaning, and self-concept that may accompany experiences with psychedelic healing
- Apply the therapist’s usual method of working with dreams and fantasies to reports received of experiences during psychedelic sessions
- Prepare for emotional responses (countertransference) to patient reports based on the therapist’s own relationship to psychedelic therapy or experience
- Plan to expand understanding of clinical events to include psychedelic material as part of the ongoing treatment process, rather than as something foreign or intrusive
- Assess the shift in self/other representations, relational configurations, and identifications that may follow psychedelic work, especially if such changes are abrupt and seem sudden
- Predict changes in relationships if the patient becomes a regular member of a psychedelic healing group, church, or community
- Apply self-analysis to understand the patient’s reports in a way that allows for expansion of understanding of clinical material, rather than needing to fit it into the therapist’s existing narrative of clinical process
