ABOUT US
What is Peer Integration Coaching?
Integration is the supportive process that involves examining a non-ordinary state experience with curiosity to assimilate any emotions, ideas, or energies that are significant to the journeyer. Altered States Integration Coaches create a safe space through listening and reflection to illuminate the clients inner wisdom. Integration is not a linear process and may involve support groups, journaling, art, and time.
PEER INTEGRATION COACHES
Altered States Integration coaches are highly experienced and come from a variety of backgrounds just like you. Peer coaches are trained in a type of psychological inquiry called Motivational Interviewing that relies on the clients innate ability to problems solve. This helps remove any personal biases the coach may have clearing the path for maximum discovery.
Our integration coaches also have personal experience journeying in non-ordinary states of consciousness and guiding them. We are passionate about psychedelic harm reduction and volunteer at festivals providing psychedelic first aid.
