Psychedelic Integration
For those who would like to try psychedelic-assisted therapy, there is psychedelic integration. This psychedelic therapy helps alleviate anxiety in those that have either already experienced a psychedelic journey and would like help integrating the journey into their daily life, or for those who would like to try a psychedelic approach with a trained therapist specifically for personal transformation purposes.
Psychedelic integration therapy assists you in understanding the significance of the messages experienced from non-ordinary consciousness. A professional therapist can help you understand your psychedelic experience, process your feelings, and integrate them into your daily life, for positive results. It is a way to help you interpret experiences that can be attained either by utilizing psychedelic substances or through techniques like Holotropic Breathwork.
How Does Psychedelic Therapy for Anxiety Work?
New Research indicates that psychedelics may help some people, particularly if other methods of treatment have failed. Since the formal study of psychedelics in the treatment of mental health issues is still quite new, researchers still do not know exactly how or why psychedelics work. One proposed explanation is that there is a sort of “reset” that takes place by altering neurotransmitter levels. This “reset” may induce a new perspective on life and allow the person to address their experiences from a new way of thinking. There may also be increased suggestibility, making a person more open to the guidance provided by the therapist.
Treatment of Depression and Anxiety
Anxiety and depression are having an increasingly significant effect on people’s lives. Although it is common for all of us to experience some level of anxiety at some point in our lives, if a person experiences regular occurrences of this condition, they may develop any one of several related disorders.
Anxiety involves a feeling of nervousness and unease regarding uncertain outcomes. Panic attacks or extreme apprehension can result from this nervous disorder.
The use of psychedelics enables neuroplasticity in the brain. Psychedelic Integration Therapy can “set the stage” for a profound change in attitudes and behaviour, which allows for the development of healthier habits. Sometimes new connections are necessary to rewire and find new pathways for processing information. Psychedelics engage this process.
- The use of psychedelics in therapy may help in the following ways:
- Understanding mental blocks, childhood events, or past traumas
- Help in furthering entheogenic exploration
- Provide a deeper understanding of the psychedelic experience
- To further understand and utilize a specific experience
- Help with negative reactions to a psychedelic experience
Integration therapy is critical in understanding how to utilize and implement a psychedelic experience into your life. You can learn how to actualize your psychedelic journey through psychedelic integration and holistic spiritual counselling in a safe, non-judgemental, and structured environment.
