Successful outcomes in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) rely heavily on the quality of both preparation and integration. Preparation involves building trust, setting clear intentions, and creating a safe, supportive environment before the psychedelic experience. It helps clients approach their sessions with openness, clarity, and emotional readiness. Integration, which occurs after the experience, is equally essential—it supports individuals in making sense of their insights, incorporating lessons into daily life, and sustaining long-term healing. Through guided preparation and integration, we ensure that PAP is not just a single event, but part of a meaningful and transformative therapeutic process.
Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) is a revolutionary treatment modality offering profound healing for emotional and psychological distress. I collaborate with an experienced professional who guides the actual medicine work, which relies heavily on the preparation and integration that Elizabeth Perwin at SSPA provides.
Preparation involves building trust in the process and the practitioners, setting clear intentions, creating a safe, supportive environment, and establishing realistic expectations before the psychedelic experience. It’s building the important mindset of set and setting, which helps clients approach their sessions with openness and emotional readiness.
Integration, which occurs after the session, is equally essential. It supports clients in making meaning of their experience and insights, and incorporating them into a deeper sense of self. This sustains long-term healing and growth. With essential preparation and integration I support the work of PAP as part of a meaningful and transformative therapeutic process.
