Some cultures and communities support the psychedelic experience through what Westerners generally call “shamanic” practices, although many of these healers would not label themselves that, nor understand the word. In Western medicine, the support for this type of medicine work has been studied and practiced in conjunction with specially trained psychotherapists.
Research spanning more than 100 years suggests that medicines that elicit the psychedelic experience may have an ongoing positive psychological benefit. Psychedelic-assisted therapy is currently being shown in studies to improve some chronic and persistent mental health issues including anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and end-of-life / death anxiety in people with chronic and/or terminal illnesses, chemical dependency issues and eating disorders.
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is an experiential type of therapy which prepares, supports and integrates the psychedelic experience as something meaningful to your ongoing mental health and well-being.
“We can’t start history of psychedelics in the ‘60s in the Americas; that needs to stop. We [indigenous people] used this medicine before Jesus Christ walked this Earth.”
– Lisa M. Macias Red Bear, Injustice, Intersectional Trauma, and Psychedelics, 2017
Oregon Psilocybin Services
Special service centers in Oregon offer minimal support at various dosing ranging upwards of $3500 per session. These centers are not considered “psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy” or treatment for mental health conditions.
For current clinical studies that include other psychedelic medicines, visit https://clinicaltrials.gov/ - But please note- studies are not meant as replacements for Therapy. While the Institute can help you prepare and integrate your personal medicine experiences, we cannot recommend or administer any medicines or compounds.

Integration is bearing witness and making meaning that lasts beyond the ayahuasca ceremony, magic mushroom velada, religious experience, sexual ecstatic experience, or k-hole. These experiences may sometimes be considered mystical experiences or transpersonal experiences.
In this approach, your guide is not there to interpret your experience, but to help you apply what is helpful as your experience continues to unfold. You’re not “done” once the acute medicine administration is over. Integration within a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual framework aims to help people maintain a sense of self-actualization that may result from transcendent experiences. Integration is akin to what LGBTQ2S people have done (and have to continue to do) to reconcile the parts of themselves that didn’t match up with the external world. Integration is what you DO with cognitive behavioral therapy once you’ve learned how to think about your thinking. Integration is learning to come to a deep understanding from within, what rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) calls a radical philosophical shift, and what Maslow called “peak experiences”.
Integration is useful with or without psychedelics. The goal of integration is the same- to bear witness and feel safe, seen and heard, and to make meaning that leads to lasting improved overall quality of life.
Integration may start with support from a mental health provider and be maintained by support in a variety of mind, body and/or philosophical/spiritual approaches.

"><p class>While the neural underpinnings remain to be clarified, the psychedelic-induced state seems to allow one to recollect and process deep autobiographical information, achieve new understandings of one's self and relationships with others, and gain greater appreciation of one's place within the cosmos.<strong>5,61,62</strong> This state is closely linked to the concept of “mystical experience” which in multiple studies with classic psychedelics predicts therapeutic efficacy.<strong>9,11,45,47,55</strong> “Ego dissolution” is another term used to describe a loss of the usual sense of self as separate entity.<strong>13</strong> The quality and degree of psychedelic-induced ego dissolution and mystical experience are typically measured in clinical trials with validated psychometric instruments such as the 5-Dimensional Altered States of Consciousness Questionnaire and the Mystical Experience Questionnaire.<strong>9,11,45,47,49,55,61</strong></p></div>

"><p class><em>Finally, it is valuable to recognize the similarities between ketamine and classic (serotonergic) psychedelics such as psilocybin and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), which produce overlapping subjective phenomena in spite of diverging pharmacological mechanisms of action (</em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref13"><em>Bowdle et al., 1998</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref90"><em>Studerus et al., 2010</em></a><em>). For classic psychedelics, it is well-established that a subset of psychoactive effects, often referred to as mystical-type effects and characterized by a sense of unity, predict greater therapeutic response across a variety of conditions such as depression, existential distress, and substance use disorders (</em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref32"><em>Garcia-Romeu et al., 2014</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref38"><em>Griffiths et al., 2016</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref82"><em>Roseman et al., 2018</em></a><em>). Interestingly, it has been hypothesized that the same mechanisms that drive the efficacy of these treatments may also be responsible for dose-dependent psychiatric risks, like that of psychosis (</em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref41"><em>Haarsma et al., 2021</em></a><em>). However, the relevant psychoactive effects of classic psychedelics appear to be optimized in careful experimental conditions that consider the benefit, safety, and tolerability of such (</em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref48"><em>Johnson et al., 2008</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref28"><em>dos Santos et al., 2018</em></a><em>). While similar optimization has not been pursued for ketamine, increasing research suggests that mystical- and peak-type experiences, such as measured by the Hood Mysticism Scale (HMS) and 11D-ASC questionnaire, increase the likelihood of various therapeutic benefits (</em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref19"><em>Dakwar et al., 2014</em></a><em>, </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref23"><em>2018</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref68"><em>Mollaahmetoglu et al., 2021</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref83"><em>Rothberg et al., 2021</em></a><em>; </em><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.868103/full#ref91"><em>Sumner et al., 2021</em></a><em>).</em></p></div>

"><p class><em>The psychedelic effects associated with ketamine encourages a detachment from these thoughts processes— bringing forth a sense of intense and often overwhelming spiritual vulnerability for the patient. Therefore, an individual’s perception of pain may be significantly altered by ketamine because he or she is not experiencing typical, waking-reality thought processes but is instead experiencing unfamiliar, subconscious levels of thought. That is to say, these spiritual experiences are ordinarily invisible to us and are inaccessible using our normal states of consciousness (Strassman 54). Consequently, these spiritual-in-nature, ketamine variables may alter the patients’ response to various pain experiences, thus affecting their recovery options (Dedeli).</em></p></div>

"><p class>Surmising that the experience of ego dissolution exists at the center of the psychedelic experience and that its neural mechanisms may be close to the roots of the subject-object dichotomy may explain why phenomenological encounters with this experience can be intimate and fundamentally change self-identification and interactions with the world. Continued investigation of the neural mechanisms of ego dissolution and the dichotomy of separation between the self and the world may advance scientific understanding of sentience. The value of psychedelics may then, under appropriate conditions, be their power to catalyze meaningful philosophical and scientific understanding of the “u” (i.e., self) in the universe.</p></div>

NOTE
The safety and efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapies are currently under investigation. No psychedelic-assisted therapy has been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities; no therapy works for everyone; and all therapies, even in clinical settings, carry risks.
The FDA does not regulate the practice of psychotherapy.

"><p class>“If we rely on antidepressants for treatment, it can take several weeks before people experience amelioration of symptoms, if at all,” said Nora Volkow, MD, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “Psychedelics may offer the opportunity to get a very fast and lasting response, and with some conditions, this could be lifesaving.” The latest research findings are also uncovering the potential neurobiological mechanisms that might make it possible for these controlled substances to produce mental health benefits.”</p></div>

"><p class>Licensed psychotherapists have offered telehealth before the pandemic. Some licensed psychotherapists specialize in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy where we can sit with you in person in your home, in our office, or remotely via video conferencing. Out-of-clinic ketamine has been prescribed since before the pandemic, largely made by compounding pharmacies, for pain management and in psychiatry-- check out "Ketamine for Depression", (Snyder, 2015), and "The Ketamine Papers" (Wolfson, et al, 2016).</p><p class>At-home ketamine from companies that are price-gouging for a 15 minute medical visit to get a prescription for a generic drug that's been used in millions of humans and animals since the 1960's in various settings-- and leaving you to it, is NOT the same as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy done in an office, at home, or any other setting standard in our field. This includes telehealth. If the person working with the client before during and after is with them physically in person, and something goes wrong, we are going to call 911, the same as we would if they were in an office. Additionally, some telehealth clinicians require an adult sober-sitter on premises with the client, to physically check on a client if something seems out-of-the-ordinary. That is in addition to the mental health specialist being remotely available the entire time the client is under the acute effects of the medicine.</p></div>

"><p class><strong><em>As is well documented, during the mystical experience, the subject-object distinction breaks down. The idea that ‘I am in here’ and ‘the world is out here’ disappears. For my consciousness of the world takes up the very same space as that which I call my mind. There is, in perception, no ‘inside’ the mind and ‘outside’ to the world. Look around you. All you can see is the outside! All you see is the room, and the window, and the sky. You do not see the interior of your mind – unless the world itself makes up that interior. Douglas Harding’s book ‘On Having No Head’, explains this idea very simply and allows for the clearest perception of the non-duality of the mystical experience. But Heidegger’s ‘being-in-the-world’ and Sartre’s ‘being and nothingness’ approach the same idea. And yet, while the mystical experience allows us to come to this truth that there really is no subject-object distinction, no ‘me vs the world’, this truth still holds for everyday reality too.</em></strong></p></div>

"><p class><strong><em>Health professionals need to recognize the historical and cultural values of these plant medicines for Indigenous and traditional populations. These groups have been using ayahuasca and other plant medicines for centuries as part of their traditional healing systems. It is important to understand that we are dealing with traditions that do not abide by the concepts of Western healing, and that have their own logic and value. These practices must be recognized on their own terms. It is not a matter of opposing traditional healing systems and Western medicine, but of recognizing the uniqueness and importance of the former. In fact, it is widely known that in order to develop research and policy on ayahuasca it is crucial to consider the gathered knowledge and the experience of the groups that have been taking ayahuasca for centuries – Bia Labate, PhD, Executive Director, Chacruna Institute</em></strong></p></div>
