Psychedelic Facilitation:

The way I hold my clients as a facilitator is metaphorically similar to the way the eye socket holds the eyeball. This metaphor calls forth an alliance with the client, working together to foster a synergistic relationship within a custom and attuned safe container. I emphasize the care of co-creating this alliance during the preparation phase before initiating the journey. This phase is essential for the allowing the relationship to bear fruit in the form of enhanced levels of safety, vulnerability, and depth of experience.

Psychedelic Integration:

The way I support my clients during integration is like the way the air supports a bird during flight. In this metaphor, the air evokes both an element of support and one of resistance in such a way that their polarity fosters freedom of movement, experience, and expression.

Similarly, in supporting a client to meet their integrated self, the client is encouraged to explore what they see and invited to look at what they may be resisting seeing.
