Integration is key in receiving the most benefit from a psychedelic journey. Along with integration, I explore with clients how to safely journey and create the best setting for a positive experience. The main piece of integration is post-care which explores how to integrate the experience of the journey into daily life so that the lessons learned are carried forward.  I believe the biggest part of a journey is in how one processes insights gained, revelations, and creates new neural pathways. 

Sometimes journeys may be challenging and old traumas may resurface or emotional turmoil can occur. Having an integration therapist who can hold space, be a guide and is understanding of the process offers deep reassurance that you are not alone.
