Boundaries in Psychedelic Therapy

Whether you seek a deeper understanding of boundary dissolution or wish to discuss boundaries in the context of psychedelic therapy, this course provides a platform to learn from and engage with others. The group will explore two primary topics related to boundaries with a focus on practical and useful applications.

First, the course will delve into personal boundaries with psychedelics. Through conversations and clinical practices, the group will examine healthy boundaries, core behaviors in changing conditions, and key therapy moments that are crucial for setting and discussing boundaries in psychedelic therapy
