An In-Depth Exploration Of Psychedelic Integration | Marc Aixalà ~ ATTMind 202

Marc Aixalà is a practicing psychologist, psychotherapist, and certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator who specializes in supporting people facing challenging experiences with expanded states of consciousness.

He has worked at the KosmiCare psychedelic crisis intervention service since 2010. He founded the ICEERS Support Center in 2013 and has assisted hundreds of cases. Marc has collaborated with facilitators from different countries to promote safer psychoactive plant practices. He trained in the MAPS MDMA-assisted psychotherapy method and is currently a psychedelic therapist in clinical trials involving psilocybin.

He also is the author of the book Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness; and the main teacher in the upcoming online course about psychedelic integration from ICEERS, succinctly titled: ICEERS Integration Course.

Marc is on the show to talk to us about psychedelic integration.

This interview goes quite in depth into psychedelic integration, what it offers, what it’s for, how we do it, timelines for when to apply which practices, and common mistakes we make both our practice and understanding of psychedelic integration. He also fields some specific questions about derealization/depersonalization; working with so-called bad trips or traumatic psychedelic experiences; and integrating experiences the transcendental or transpersonal.

This episode is something that will be incredibly useful to anyone who is a practitioner or facilitator of psychedelic therapy or of integration coaching. But I was very conscientious to ensure that the questions asked and the answers Marc offers are going to be specifically relevant to the integrating individual the person actually undergoing the psychedelic experience.
