Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness Marc Aixala

Psychedelic Integration explores the young and still underdeveloped field of integration, tracing the history of psychedelic therapy trials in the sixties to the present moment, where integration may soon become common parlance in psychotherapy. This work describes how to maximize psychedelic integration, as well as the deep therapeutic work of moving through adverse reactions. Aixalà undertakes the great challenge of transforming multifaceted psychedelic healing, which can often feel so ineffable, into an intelligible guide for the curious reader and practicing therapist alike. Braiding poetic metaphors with case studies and a multitude of spiritual traditions, this book situates the author's humble and compassionate approach to therapy within a flourishing field. The work acknowledges that these models continue to evolve as they are written: the science and artistry of understanding psychedelic integration is and has always been a collective journey.
