Synopsis: Body-centered practices for every stage of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Embodied Psychedelic Therapy is a guide to holding space for clients taking psychedelics for personal exploration, spiritual expansion, and healing. This book emerges from the intersection of psychedelics and somatics, weaving body-centered practices into the various phases of psychedelic work. Covering preparation, the psychedelic journey itself, and integration afterward, it details how a focus on embodiment greatly benefits work with expanded states of consciousness. Delving into ethics, adverse events, trauma, the use of touch, and other themes relevant to psychedelic-assisted therapy, the authors draw on practices both ancient and modern to support healing and transformation. Here you will learn how to utilize the inherent wisdom of the body to maximize the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy, allowing you to foster safer, more therapeutic experiences for those pursuing well-being and expansion.
