A psychedelic experience can be very intense. Your mind transcends its usual limitations and is observant in a manner that you may never have experienced before. You may see, for instance, matters that you are unable to name or to place in context.
This type of experience can be provoked by:
- Use of substances such as psylocybine, lsd, ayahuasca or ecstasy.
- Participation in transpersonal psychotherapies, meditation or yoga retreats, breath work and music sessions.
A psychedelic experience can also occur spontaneously.
Coaching
You may find it difficult to deal with a powerful and disturbing psychedelic experience on your own, or to interpret what happened. If that is the case, you are welcome in my practice, where my coaching can help you to achieve psychedelic integration. The coaching trajectory will help you to incorporate your experience in your life and in your mind.
Coaching before and after a trip or retreat
Do you plan to participate in a (yoga or meditation) retreat, or to undertake a trip with psychedelic substances? In that case, coaching before and/or after the trip or retreat may be helpful for you. The coaching will substantially increase the chance that the experience will be fruitful. You can register for preparatory coaching by filling in this form. I will then call you for a non-binding introductory conversation.
Follow-up psychotherapeutic treatment
You may feel that your psychedelic experience is a window into a process of personal development. This type of experience may also trigger a healing process of earlier trauma. In this case, for some people it is advisable to engage in further psychotherapeutic treatment. If this is true for you, we can discuss whether coaching is sufficient or whether further treatment is needed.
My expertise in psychedelic integration
Meditation and spirituality from both Eastern and Western traditions have been a lifelong guiding theme for me.
Apart from my personal experience in this field, I have deepened my expertise by following several relevant training programmes, such as Unity in Duality (www.tarab-institute.org) and the Non-dual Coachin and Therapy training (www.artoflife.nu).
I have gained extensive experience as a facilitator of psilocybine retreats (www.essence.nl). I also followed the Beyond Experience Psychedelic Integration training at the Mind Foundation in Berlin (www.mind-foundation.org). I completed the 1 year Psychotherapy Assisted Therapy Training Program of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (my.psychiatryinstitute.com), Denver (US) and Experiential Training Institute (www.experientialtraininginstitute.com), Amsterdam.
It is important to me to keep up-to-date about developments in this field. For this reason, I am a member of the Open Foundation (www.openfoundation.nl). This is a multidisciplinary platform for professionals and scientists engaged in psychedelics.
Costs
The costs for a session of 60 to 75 minutes are 165 euro.
