PSYCHOLYTIC WORK

Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP) is a profound, body-based approach designed to release deeply held trauma, and soften protective armor directly from the autonomic nervous system. Unlike traditional talk therapies, we are focusing on the non-verbal, biological roots of your distress. By quieting the analytical mind, we allow your body's self-correcting intelligence to process and rewire outdated emotional patterns  that have been held as survival energy, within a deeply relationally co-regulated space.

​

This work is structured as a phase-based approach that respects the pacing of your unique nervous system. The journey begins with a series of preparation sessions focused on building relational trust, and cultivating inner resourcing. This foundational phase ensures that your system feels secure enough to access deeper layers of the psyche and body before any medicine work takes place. Following the active medicine sessions, we transition into integration to help your mind and body map, ground, and absorb the transformation.

​

We work with medically prescribed or legally dispensed medicines (ketamine or cannabis) during active medicine sessions to track the body's natural primary and secondary trauma responses. In early sessions, we work through your primary defenses—the ways your system has learned to brace, resist, or manage distress—allowing the autonomic nervous system to naturally cycle through completion. By actively engaging your body’s instinctual wisdom, the medicine serves as an amplifier, bringing hidden somatic patterns into consciousness where they can be metabolically processed, felt, and ultimately dissolved right at the root.

​

I offer this work remotely as well as through immersive private retreats (typically 5–7 days). In the intensive retreat setting, we powerfully combine the medicine work with ground-based equine-assisted somatic coaching. Horses act as living mirrors for your nervous system, offering immediate, nonjudgmental feedback that assists in both preparation and integration. This combination allows you to deeply embody your insights, practice real-time co-regulation, and return home with a grounded sense of alignment and lasting freedom.
