ETHICS 101 - Ethical Right Relationship in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Part 1
Psychedelic-assisted therapy invokes a multi-dimensional, relational field in which everything and anything can arise: unconscious desires, fears, and longings, memories, griefs, traumas, transcendent joy, and dissolution of boundaries. As trusted professionals our mandate to “Do No Harm” means that we are honor-bound to do self-inquiry. To do self-management, we need to be able to self-compassionately identify our motivations to know when our needs and beliefs might be in conflict with the client’s or patient’s best interests. It is also very useful to be able to recognize the particular interpersonal dynamics that are most ethically precarious, so that we can more easily avoid situational ethical pitfalls. This one-hour course "Ethical Right Relationship in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy" gives you a basic introduction to inner ethics, a self-reflective, self-compassionate approach to Right Relationship with clients, patients, or students that amplifies and complements the external approach of traditional ethics education (the laws, codes, and standards that guide us behaviorally.)Kylea Taylor, M.S., LMFT is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC #34901) who has been thinking, writing, and teaching about ethics for almost three decades.
