“Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.”
Gautama Buddha
Psychedelics can sometimes evoke intense memories, thoughts and feelings that may have been previously suppressed or avoided. For some individuals, unprocessed trauma, pain, and grief can come to the surface. Psychedelic experiences can also catalyze states of ego-dissolution, in which one’s sense of normal identity is powerfully altered.
Integration provides an opportunity to harness the neuroplasticity and flexibility stimulated by a psychedelic experience to build new connections and foundations in the psyche, body, and mind, and to facilitate a transformative healing process.
“Psychedelic experience seems to temporarily crack open a kind of new critical window; a window of opportunity with with great neuroplastic potential, with an enriched interpretation of the world in terms of personal relevance, it not only reveals the elemental foundations of thought and perception to the conscious mind, but invites it to participate, orient toward significance, integrate a variety of personally relevant information, and produce insightful experiences and emotional breakthroughs that can mark the beginning of a process of re-orienting priorities, attention, attitudes, and behavior. Eric M Fortier
The primary focus of Psychedelic Integration Coaching is to help you develop psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility enables us to engage more fully in the present moment and to be open to new thoughts, emotions, sensations, and the full range of human experience. The way this work is done is by deconstruction of the old self, the old self is basically a combination of beliefs, those beliefs were taught to you by society, government, your family, the church, politics, etc. You were domesticated by society to behave in a certain way, psychedelics will show you a deeper connection with your true self, with nature and your essence.
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
They have served you well to get to where you are right now, but most of those cultural beliefs don’t serve the person you would like to be, your “new self”. The quote above from Buddha express it very well, we must shed our skin and let go of our old self if we want to be born anew, we need to clear up space.
It sounds easy but it is a very delicate process because those beliefs serve a purpose and sometimes are the foundation of your whole life, touching this structure could be extremely dangerous, and this is where my work is, in supporting you in the journey by providing you a safe space to explore your own mind, before and after the psychedelic experiences. The most important part of the psychedelic experience is the integration, it is where you will implement all the ideas and insights you’ve gained into your daily life.
“Part of what psychedelics do is they decondition you from cultural values. This is what makes it such a political hot potato. Since all culture is a kind of con game, the most dangerous candy you can hand out is one which causes people to start questioning the rules of the game.” Terence McKenna
