Psychedelic Practitioner Training

Synthesis

After decades of demonization and criminalization, psychedelics are on the brink of becoming mainstream. With numerous well-respected institutions dedicating significant resources to advancing research around the potential benefits of psychedelics, and governments taking a close and careful look at antiquated drug laws, a psychedelic renaissance is upon us.

With these decriminalization and research, advances comes growing anticipation about the potential health and wellness benefits of psychedelics and increased demand for access from people eager to experience their promise.

Psychedelic Therapy Training Program

SCPTR

The Third Wave refers to the modern era of science and the use of scientific methods to prove how psychedelics can be useful in the treatment of depression, addiction, PTSD, anxiety, and other conditions. The FDA continues to fast-track access to medicines such as MDMA and Psilocybin which has created a surge in interest from scientists and practitioners. While access to some medicines is limited only to clinical trials (e.g. MDMA, Ayahuasca, and Psilocybin), Clinicians do have access to some tools now. This training program is an introduction to some of those tools. Clinical and theoretical training will be included in the SCPTR PTTP program with the goal for the students to then further and more intensely study the modalities that they really resonate with and prepare them for future legal opportunities with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. We caution students against the temptation of guiding underground therapy and for them to be well trained before attempting any therapies on others.

One of our main goals at Salt City Psychedelic Therapy & Research is to educate and train. This 8-week live virtual program is meant to be an introduction to topics related to psychedelics in general (Harm Reduction, Ethics, etc) as well as psychedelic-assisted therapies (MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy, Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy, and Psilocybin-assisted Psychotherapy) and non-psychedelic modalities (IFS, CI, Holotropic Breathwork, flow-states, microdosing, etc). This 8-week Program provides a broad base for the student but cannot certify a student to be a Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapist. There are serious risks undertaken when therapy, of any kind, is provided without proper training. We caution students against the temptation of guiding with psychedelics and presenting themselves as psychedelic therapists.

Psychedelic Therapy Training Program for Mental Health Professionals

ATMA Journey Centers Inc.

ATMA Academy, in partnership with Wayfound Mental Health Group, and with support from the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta (PAA), has developed an eight-week, 20-hour introductory training program for mental health professionals, helping them to develop competency in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Current psychedelic therapy training programs are cost, time, and resource-intensive (e.g. MAPS). ATMA’s training program presents a more convenient and streamlined approach opportunity that aims to introduce mental health professionals to a breadth of psychedelic medicines. Our Introduction to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy Training Program currently has one offering, geared toward mental health professionals who are new to psychedelic medicine and are eager to dive into the field. The program focuses on the different medicines and how to effectively treat patients with specific mental health concerns. Industry-leading experts share their knowledge and experiences regarding psychedelic medicines and how to best incorporate these medicines into practice.

We are in the process of developing three additional training programs, two of which will provide advanced training for those interested in integrating psilocybin therapy into their practices. This training will provide the opportunity for legal experiential training, which will involve students embodying both the roles of the psychedelic guide and the participant, under the supervision of professional psychedelic guides and medical practitioners. The Introduction to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy Training Program is a prerequisite to the more advanced experiential training programs.

Additionally, we are continuing to build the Practitioner Network and Services (PNS), which will allow mental healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date with emerging research and best practices, as well as to offer them support with consultations and referral opportunities. The training program will give therapists access to this network.

Psychedelics and Religion Part I

Matter Academy

The scientific realization that the use of psychedelic substances can be linked to significant and sustained spiritual experiences has led to a contemporary resurgence of research within brain science and is even making inroads into drug policy. However, there has been a painful absence of scholars of religion in this conversation, who could contribute substantially to both the fields of psychedelic studies and religious studies.

Psychedelics and The Shadow: The Shadow Side of Psychedelia

Psychedelics Today

Psychedelic substances are thought to expand the mind and foster deep healing and insight. While this may be the case for many, there lies a shadow side to psychedelics. To begin to work with the shadow starts by becoming aware that the shadow exists, but is not something to be pushed away or can be healed in one session. The shadow and its many forms is a guide – to personal and collective wounds as well as to deeper authenticity and wholeness. This is why Psychedelics Today has put together the “Psychedelics and The Shadow” course – to help bring the shadow out of the depths and begin to cast light upon it.

Psychedelics in Psychiatry

Psychedelics Today

Psychedelics have been used for thousands of years across the globe as a means to improve life, happiness, spirituality, and medical/psychiatric issues. Throughout the 1950's and 60's psychedelics were used with over 40,000 patients, several dozen books were published, six international conferences were held, and over 1,000 clinical papers were published. Nurses have been involved in psychedelic therapy since the beginning, often staying with patients during their trips in state hospitals. This all came to a screeching halt when psychedelics were placed into a schedule I.

Recently there has been a resurgence in interest in the mystical properties with psychedelics by many, often attributed to the release of "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan and coverage by 60 Minutes. The use of psychedelics are now being explored for a plethora of clinical applications ranging from; depression, addiction, PTSD, anorexia, palliative and end of life. In this course we will explore some of these clincal indications and how nurses can ensure to maintain their place in psychedelic therapies.

Psychedelics Psychopharmacology

Fluence

This reading and study group will maintain the same membership for the 12-week period. The group will have a syllabus with readings that participants will be expected to read prior to each discussion group meeting. The format for each session will include a short review of each paper by the group leader, followed by a discussion of the content and group members’ perspectives of the topic. This is an active group and weekly participation is required. The group is ideal for clinicians, graduate students, researchers, or the public, so long as they have training or interest in the biological responses that may influence the efficacy and safety of psychedelic therapy. Readings will include publications in the academic literature. The articles will provide an overview of psychedelic effects investigated by a variety of scientific methods (pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenomics, neuroscience) for several types of psychedelics (e.g., psilocybin, ayahuasca, MDMA, ketamine).

Psychedelics, Altered States and Transpersonal Psychology

Matter Academy

Our one-year Psychedelics, Altered States, and Transpersonal Psychology Certificate Programme at Alef Trust provides a collaborative environment to study the transpersonal nature of the psychedelic experience, altered states of consciousness, and exceptional experiences.

With a renaissance in psychedelic research suggesting that traditionally prohibited substances such as psilocybin and MDMA might have a valuable role to play in revolutionizing psychiatry and in the treatment of mental health problems, this program offers a roadmap through the complex psychological terrain of the psychedelic experience and other altered states of consciousness within the intellectual and therapeutic envelope of transpersonal psychology.

This program of study will explore the transpersonal nature of the psychedelic experience and other altered states, drawing upon transpersonal psychology, parapsychology, cross-cultural psychiatry, neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience, anthropology, ethnobotany, and the study of religions, among other disciplines.

It will cover the study of a range of transpersonal and exceptional experiences, such as mystical, shamanic, and mediumistic experiences, inter-species communication, entity – e.g., divine beings – encounters, psi experiences, out-of-body and near-death experiences, insight and creativity, love, compassion, connectivity and empathy, and other experiences and concomitants of the psychedelic encounter.

In addition, you will learn of recent research developments in understanding the state induced by, and the potential applications of, psychedelics.

Taking a cross-disciplinary approach the program will both encompass and challenge the prevailing ontology of materialistic reductionism and draw upon multiple cross-cultural worldviews in the epistemology and interpretation of the psychedelic experience and other altered states.

This program does not promote or in any way involve the consumption of psychedelics.
