Working with Non-ordinary States in a Psychotherapeutic Setting
Part 1: The history of non-ordinary and psychedelic states in psychotherapy
Non-ordinary states has always been a topic of interest for psychologists, since the early days of Freud, psychotherapists have worked with non-ordinary states such as dreams, hypnosis and free association to explore and heal the heart and mind. Today, research interest has shifted to the use of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. In this course you will develop your understanding on how psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy can treat a range of disorders in your clients. You will also gain the knowledge necessary to help client who might be experimenting with psychedelics to integrate and grow from their experience.
Part 2: The role of transpersonal or mystical experience in therapeutic change and introducing the concept of mindfulness
Mindfulness and compassion practices have become particularly mainstream in the past decade. The combination of these ideals with psychedelic assisted psychotherapy has lead to possible breakthrough treatments for PTSD, depression, addiction and end-of-life anxiety. In this course you will discover what clinicians can learn from the developments in research, what these findings teach us about the neurobiology of human suffering and flourishing and how they can inform your practice.

Specifically, you will explore ways to help clients integrate split-off traumatic memories, open their hearts, embrace vulnerability, surrender to the flow of ever-changing experience, move from isolation to deep connection with people and nature, appreciate the unreliable fluidity of thought and find meaning in everyday moments.
