An introduction to a full training in psychedelic psychotherapy for clinicians!
About this Event
Join us for a three-hour discussion on how to provide psychedelic psychotherapy in a mental health setting using cannabis and ketamine. Denver-based clinic Innate Path has been testing and providing psychedelic treatment using these readily available or FDA-approved medicines for years. Combined with a non-ordinary state somatic therapy that changes the processing pathway from cognition and insight towards the autonomic nervous system, these medicines generates a clear psychedelic, therapeutically useful response.
Serving as an introduction to a full training in psychedelic psychotherapy for clinicians, this talk:
Discusses the legal and licensing considerations of implementing these medicines into a private practice.
Details a therapeutically useful map of the autonomic nervous system & how the body serves as a processing pathway for psychedelic medicine.
Discusses the transference dynamics of working in psychedelic states
Provides an opportunity to view sample video sessions
