SPECIALIST ONLINE INTEGRATION THERAPY AND COACHING FOR PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCES

INTEGRATION RESOURCES

Understanding what happens after the experience.

This resource library brings together practical, psychologically informed guidance for people following ketamine treatment and other significant altered-state experiences. The initial focus is ketamine integration, with broader psychedelic integration resources to be added as the practice develops.

The articles are designed to help you think more clearly about what happened, what may still be unfolding and when additional support may be useful.

A good place to start if you are unsure of what integration is or whether you need it.

Start with where you are now

You do not need to know the correct terminology. Choose the description that feels closest to your experience.

I have recently had ketamine treatment

You’re in the first days or weeks after treatment and want to understand what to expect.

Something important happened, but I don't understand it

The experience felt meaningful but its significance is not yet clear to you.

The experience was difficult or frightening

You felt fear, confusion, distress or something that doesn’t feel easy to make sense of.

I don't think anything happened

The session felt underwhelming or visually quiet and you’re questioning its value.

I am supporting someone else

You’re a family member or friend trying to understand how to help.
