After the Journey: Practical theory and practices for supporting psychedelic integration

Explore a four-part framework for supporting psychedelic integration across body, mind, relationships, and daily life.

In this training, Dr. Adele Lafrance introduces clinicians to a four-part framework for supporting psychedelic integration through the period that follows a psychedelic experience. Drawing on current research in neuroplasticity, trauma processing, and relational psychology, participants will learn how to approach integration as a layered, ongoing process unfolding across body, mind, relationships, and daily life.

In addition to exploring bias, this training examines four distinct domains of integration: the psychological work of metabolizing what arose during the journey itself; the practical and relational tasks of returning to roles and responsibilities; the psychotherapeutic opportunity created by the post-session neuroplastic window; and the neurobiological dimension, including how sleep and nervous system sensitivity are thought to influence what becomes possible in the weeks that follow. The training examines each domain through both a conceptual lens and a clinical practice lens. Time permitting, the training will also address ruptures between client and clinician during the integration period.

Learning objectives:

• Identify the four domains of psychedelic integration — psychological, relational/practical, psychotherapeutic, and neurobiological — and describe possible interventions within each.
• Recognize how personal and professional bias may shape a clinician’s approach to psychedelic integration. Articulate how awareness of bias informs more effective support.
• Describe conceptual frameworks linking neuroplasticity and nervous system sensitivity to the post-session integration window. Explain their relevance to clinical timing and pacing.

Join Dr. Adele Lafrance to deepen your understanding of psychedelic integration and strengthen your clinical approach to supporting clients after a psychedelic experience. Reserve your spot today.
