MICRO: What Psychedelic Integration Is (And Why It Isn't Psychotherapy) | Marc Aixalà
Shownotes
Psychotherapist Marc Aixalà of ICEERS explains what psychedelic integration is, and what it isn't.
Marc offers some metaphors to help psychedelic integration, his seven dimensions of integration, and outlines why each of these has to be custom tailored to the needs of the individual person.
Marc also offers us his perspective as to why integration is not psychotherapy, and why it should end once the person no longer needs a practitioner. Finally, he makes the case that preparation matters even more than integration, because psychedelic healing is a process, not an event.
