Psychedelics & Religious Trauma

Psychedelics continue to be an additional tool that is being used as healing within therapy communities, and the effects are still being studied. However psychedelics, and the culture around them, often includes language that is on some level spiritual. The use of the "inner healer" or connection to "spirit" is often discussed as a primary way of working with psychedelics, but how does this language, and the often used format of psychedelic work, overlap with those that have religious trauma?

In this workshop we will explore this overlap together, noting ways to alter psychedelic practices, for those that have religious trauma and discuss best practices for when religious trauma might come up within psychedelic spaces.
