Atira Tan
Working with Trauma Imprints in Somatic Psychedelic Integration
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Working with plant medicine and psychedelics offers us a potent opportunity to heal the past, inspire the future, and reconnect with the present. However, the profound healing experiences with plant medicine do not end with the ceremony. The real work begins at this stage. How we integrate the insights that we’ve learned in the plant medicine ceremony and apply the tools and insights we receive will ultimately determine the transformation in our lives.
What is often overlooked is that it is common for the plant medicine experience to bring up traumatic imprints and memories from the past, and without the right awareness, understanding, and care, participants can be re-triggered and unsupported, leading to a deeper experience of re-traumatization.
In this lecture, you'll learn:
An Introduction to the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Model
3 trauma-informed Tips for psychedelic integration practitioners
Comprehensive steps for working with trauma imprints in plant medicine integration.
Manuela Mischke-Reeds
Embodied Journeys: Somatic and Trauma Informed Mindset for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In this session we will explore the role of somatic interventions in the developing field of psychedelic assisted therapy. We will discuss how therapists and guides can prepare for the emergence of trauma and body memories in the client's experience. Manuela will give an overview of how Somatic therapies such as the Hakomi method can be an essential contributor to making a successful journey through expanded states of consciousness that are rooted in the here and now felt sense experience. We will discuss what somatic set and setting involves and a short experiential exercises for somatic attunement in an expanded state.
Dr. Devon Christie
Psychedelic-assisted Trauma Healing: Promises and Pitfalls
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
What is trauma healing? What is psychedelic-assisted therapy? How might they come together? Dr. Devon will share her perspective on some promises and important considerations for psychedelic-assisted trauma healing. She will share 7 essential guiding principles she believes inform an optimal care model for psychedelic-assisted therapy, and explain 6 key points related to trauma that she emphasizes when training psychedelic therapists. She will conclude with an invitation to collectively resist shoehorning psychedelic-assisted therapies into the dominant paradigm of pharmaco-centric medicalization, and instead encourage mainstream systems of care to become more healing.
Dr. Alex Belser
From Posttraumatic Stress to Posttraumatic Growth: MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for Trauma
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
Join us to learn about the transformative potential of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for individuals with PTSD. While previous research has highlighted the efficacy of MDMA in reducing posttraumatic stress, the concept of posttraumatic growth (PTG), encompassing positive changes in self-perception, interpersonal relationships, and philosophy of life, remains unexplored. This talk presents findings from three Phase 2 clinical studies, pooling data from 60 participants. The results demonstrate that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy not only leads to significant reductions in PTSD symptom severity but also fosters posttraumatic growth of large magnitude effect sizes. Moreover, the study reveals a correlation between decreases in PTSD symptoms and improvements in posttraumatic growth. These findings shed light on the potential of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy to facilitate personal transformations and inspire future research in this promising field. I'll speak about my own work as a therapist in the MDMA trials and discuss clinical narratives about the potential of growing after trauma.
Chara Caruthers
Psychedelics & Race - Creating a Container for Healing Transgenerational Trauma
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
The surge in psychedelic interest and research has highlighted inequities, challenges and opportunities for deep healing. In this talk we’ll delve into the intersection of psychedelics, race, and trauma, exploring the potential of psychedelics as a tool for healing transgenerational trauma within racially marginalized communities. We’ll look at critical concerns and considerations for people of color in creating safe and inclusive containers for psychedelic experience and healing.
