Pairing Psychology with Psychedelics: A DIY Guide

Pairing Psychology with Psychedelics: A DIY Guide 

Our brains are like super computers, sometimes a simple reboot with psychedelics can give us a new perspective. Other times, the operating system may be so faulty - such as those who suffer complex or childhood PTSD - that a new operating system needs to be written. While psychedelics can open the mind to new possibilities, they don’t represent new programing in and of themselves. Success for the modern psychonaut may increase if a new operating system is standing by to be installed. Modern behavioral therapies such as DBT can help us create a framework for successful psychedelic use.

In this presentation you will learn

-A framework for using psychology inspired tools with psychedelics. 

-Suggestions for preparing for a healing journey 

-Tips for getting the most out of your session 

-Ways to integrate the information for a more lasting change.
