Psychedelic & Mental Health Support Resources
The support a person receives following a psychedelic experience is believed by many to be as important as the psychedelic experience itself. Preparation is also important and can help build the foundation for more lasting results following a psychedelic experience, as well as maneuvering challenging times during the experience itself. Therefore, preparation and integration go hand in hand. Whether by engaging in some deep introspection by journaling or talking to someone who is psychedelically informed and knowledgeable, most people have longer lasting positive effects from their psychedelic experience when they have additional support. Often, this support is before the experience (preparation) and then following (integration). You can also engage in self-healing strategies on your own, which can make a significant difference in how a psychedelic experience is approached, and getting tractions in the transformation to take place. We’re here to help with that process in the ways we can.
Learn more about what’s included in all of our service packages:
In addition to three hours of individual preparation, EPIC Healing Eugene (Oregon’s first licensed service center), in coordination with Radiant Heart Consulting offers two individual Integration sessions as part of each experiential session. EPIC Healing Eugene and Radiant Heart Consulting Team also offer bimonthly group Preparation Sessions for those scheduled for a session at EPIC, bimonthly group Integration sessions for those who have completed a session with us. We also offer bi-monthly personal growth groups for anyone who is signed up or has completed a session with us. Our skilled team also offers healing and transformational retreats.
Radiant Heart Consulting also offers the following resources for extra preparation and integration sessions with a variety of trauma informed therapists and others trained in the healing arts, as well as some self-healing, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) strategies. While this list is by no means exhaustive, the resources we’ve included are part of a general internet search of providers and services offering integration services in the form of blog articles, services, and suggestions. Some of these resources may include some of our staff members of EPIC Healing Eugene or Radiant Heart Consulting, however most are not affiliated. Please do your due diligence when reaching out to resources offered, and ask questions and check reviews to make sure services are a good fit for you. The most important part of this process is it be guided by you, and remember that integration can go on for months after the actual psychedelic experience. We will continually update and add to this list.
