PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION

A new approach to the use of psychoactive drugs and medicines for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and healing is beckoning. Health and healing practitioners from all backgrounds are hearing the call of a new paradigm that brings renewed possibilities for healing trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, spiritual distress, relationships, and more, with the profound insight and aid of psychedelic medicines. So too are health professionals and administrators in behavioral health systems recognizing the limitations of the decades-long approach to drug therapy based on suppressing or long-term management of unwanted thoughts and feelings. For many clients who struggle intensely, the best hope professionals can offer is a marginal level of functioning accompanied by indefinite daily psychiatric medication use.

 

Both clients and practitioners yearn for what more is possible.

The exciting news is that things are changing, and rapidly.

 

Healthcare providers -- whether in a complex system of care or in individual private practice -- have the opportunity to be part of “what’s next” by learning more about and inviting in new paradigms and practices.

​

  • How do we shift our long-held thinking about mental illness, as it has been defined by western medical systems, the DSM, and pharmaceutical companies?

​​

  • How do we open to different possibilities for the type of healing we can witness and help facilitate as practitioners?

​​

  • How do we understand the use of psychoactive medicines and drugs differently than has ever been taught to us before?

​​

  • How do we challenge our own assumptions, biases, and insecurities, and expand our ability to step into healing relationships with clients differently?

​​

  • How do we get started with incorporating psychedelic-assisted therapies or integration into our own therapy practice?

​​

This is about breaking the mold of what’s always been done and how things have always been, and re-claiming our power, creativity and possibility for meaningful healing and expansion as practitioners and communities.
