Psychotherapeutic Intervention in Integration of Difficult Psychedelic Experiences

About

With the renaissance of interest in psychedelics, more people are in search of transformative experiences. This globalized scenario of psychedelic use implies a wide range of settings, from the Amazon rainforest to Western clinical research labs. While most of these adventurers have no challenges during or after their experiences, some encounter difficulties that lead them to seek support following a session. Integration becomes an important aspect to consider in such cases. The ICEERS Support Service was created with the intention of assessing this need, and we have been offering integration services to people that have had experiences with psychedelics, primarily ayahuasca, since 2014. In this presentation I will share data collected by the ICEERS Support Service over the last two years, drawn from over 190 interventions carried out per year. This data includes the amount of support requests, the type of support needed and the psychoactive substances involved, the profiles of those who contact us, and the type of psychotherapeutic interventions performed in order to facilitate integration. I will present the method of integration psychotherapy that we developed in our service, and will share some examples of real cases. Marc is a Telecommunication Engineer and Psychologist.
