ABOUT THE TRAINING

The use of psychedelics—such as psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, and others—has in recent decades increasingly expanded into the fields of personal growth and therapy.

Scientific research points to great potential of psychedelic substances in treating mental health difficulties, and therapists are more and more often meeting clients who use psychedelics for these purposes. It is therefore important that therapists receive additional training in this area, so they can provide better support to clients who either experience major therapeutic breakthroughs with psychedelics, or who struggle with challenges following their use.

Completion of Brainspotting Phase 1 training is NOT a prerequisite for applying for the training Psychedelics: preparation, integration and support for people in crisis.

The training is NOT intended to qualify participants to conduct psychedelic therapy, but rather to expand knowledge and develop competencies for the preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences.
