What I Offer
Professional Trainings & Workshops (For Therapists, Guides, and Clinicians):
-
Psychedelic-Informed Therapy (PIT):
A foundational training grounded in the “Drug, Set, and Setting” framework, harm reduction principles, and trauma-informed care. Includes preparation, integration, and clinical containment strategies for non-ordinary states.
-
Trauma and Altered States:
An in-depth look at how trauma may resurface or be reconfigured during psychedelic experiences. Based on fieldwork with survivors of the Nova festival attack and grounded in phenomenology, cultural psychiatry, and resilience theory.
-
Adaptive Psychedelic Dissociation (APD):
A cutting-edge model is emerging from my recent research on dissociative responses under psychedelics during extreme stress. APD explores altered memory, emotional detachment, instinctual survival responses, and their therapeutic implications.
-
Clinical Skills for Psychedelic Integration:
Techniques from psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices are adapted for post-psychedelic processing.
-
Body, Movement, and Expression in Integration:
A creative and experiential workshop blending psychodrama, somatic awareness, and mindfulness to support embodied integration.
Academic Lectures and Research Talks:

A theoretical and practical presentation based on interviews with underground psychedelic guides and MAPS-trained clinicians, examining the metaphors, discourses, and boundaries that shape therapeutic presence.
