Couples Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy

A 3-hour interactive workshop on preparing and supporting couples through psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Working with couples in psychedelic-assisted therapy introduces clinical considerations that extend beyond individual treatment. Each partner brings their own emotional history, therapeutic readiness, expectations, and patterns of relating. Clinicians must consider not only the needs of each individual but also the relational connection dynamics between them.

This interactive workshop explores therapeutic approaches to preparing and supporting couples, with particular attention to communication, emotional safety, relational dynamics and integration. Through practical exercises, case-based discussion and facilitated learning, you'll work through how to navigate challenging relational moments and support meaningful engagement between partners.

By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to:

• Identify key considerations when assessing and preparing couples for psychedelic-assisted therapy
• Recognize relational patterns and interpersonal dynamics that may emerge during the work
• Explore approaches to supporting emotional safety, communication and engagement between partners
• Practise responding to challenging relational dynamics through case-based exercises
• Identify integration approaches that support continued relational exploration and communication

Who it's for: PAT-trained therapists and practitioners who work with couples, or plan to.
