9:30 AM - 10:35 AM Central
Elizabeth Nielson, PhD | Click here for information about Elizabeth Nielson
What do you do when a client lets you know they’re going to use psychedelics on their own? Is there anything you can do to help reduce harm? And what about micro-dosing, which is gaining popularity?

12:10 PM - 1:15 PM Central
Seema Desai, MD | Click here for information about Seema Desai
Ketamine is an FDA approved medication that has been used for anesthesia and pain relief in adults and children for many years. But it has also been researched and used for the treatment of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other “treatment resistant” mental health disorders – with promising results. Now with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy becoming closer to being available for mental health therapists, this is your opportunity to get the latest insights on this developing healing opportunity.

Following this, we’ll cover contemporary research on its effects on mental health and its use for treatment of conditions such as addiction and depression. Lastly, some of the psychodynamic aspects of shamanic and syncretic religions settings will be described.

3:10 PM - 4:15 PM Central
Gabor Maté, MD | {647135_Gabor_MatéWithBio}
Not all experiences with psychedelics feel good. It’s in fact common for people to experience some level of distress, and without proper guidance, these unpleasant journeys can leave people feeling more dis-integrated than they were before. In this dynamic conversation, Gabor Maté, MD, will present from research and his own extensive experience, ways to reduce the likelihood of harm from psychedelic use, and how negative or unpleasant experiences can be transformed into deeply meaningful and healing experiences.
Day Two | Thursday, July 28

Monnica T. Williams
Psychedelics & Racial Justice
12:50 PM - 1:55 PM Central
Monnica T. Williams, PhD | Click here for information about Monnica T. Williams
Psychedelics have been studied for the treatment of PTSD, depression, end-of-life anxiety, OCD, addictions, and a number of other mental health conditions. However, research studies of psychedelic psychotherapies have largely excluded people of color, leaving important questions unaddressed for these populations. Dr. Williams will review relevant research, documenting exclusion based on the international literature. She will discuss ethnic minority mental health and how psychedelic therapies may help or hinder healing for people of color. Also discussed are next steps in ensuring that access to culturally-informed care is prioritized as several psychedelics move into late phase trials and expanded access, including the importance of culturally-informed approaches and training focused on therapy providers of color.

Richard Schwartz
The Internal Family Systems Approach to Psychedelic Experiences
2:10 PM - 3:15 PM Central
Dick Schwartz, PhD | Click here for information about Richard C. Schwartz
The psyche is a delicate ecosystem and psychedelics are powerful agents that can profoundly affect it. While that effect can be positive, there is also the potential for extreme disruption. That’s where Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help therapists and clients alike maintain steady presence and not overreact to sometimes dramatic shifts. In this talk, IFS founder Dick Schwartz will address probable risks and benefits of incorporating psychedelics in the therapy room.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

No catch. Over the last few years, thanks to the generosity of our expert speakers and the support of therapists like you, we've had the amazing opportunity to provide professional training to more therapists than ever.

Because psychedelic-assisted therapy is something all therapists need to know about, we wanted to pull together the very best of the best into an exclusive 2-day training that’s accessible to all therapists. It helps the field and in turn, helps us fulfill our mission.

 

Yes! Even if you won't go further and practice psychedelic-assisted therapies, we all need to understand this rapidly growing area of therapy. Clients are asking us about it, they are using psychedelics on their own, and many clients will come to your practice having been to ketamine clinics or other psychedelic therapies. Plus, your clients will need help navigating this world of therapies safely, and they need you to help them better understand the risks and benefits as they look to integrate these experiences.

Even if you're not a PAP therapist — you can help! This Summit is designed for you!

 

Psychotherapy Networker is a non-profit educational organization. For over 46 years, we have featured the leading researchers, innovators, and developers in the field through our award-winning magazine, CE trainings, and our annual Symposium.

Our focus is on telling the stories of psychotherapy and being a place where clinicians of all licenses and backgrounds who practice psychotherapy can keep up on what's happening in the field, hear captivating stories from colleagues on what's really happening in their practices, learn through CE trainings from the best in the field, and enjoy the most celebrated annual gathering of psychotherapists in the world each year in March in Washington, D.C.!

 

Yes! We designed it so you'll get at least 1 hour on EVERY major psychedelic agent being used today PLUS workshops on integration (after a psychedelic experience) and harm reduction (when clients use on their own or outside of a licensed clinic) — as well as regulations, risks and benefits, ethics, and more!

 

No — psychedelic-assisted therapies are here NOW. Ketamine clinics are all over the US. Psilocybin is used more widely. People are going on Ayahuasca trips, and many clients are obtaining these substances on their own and using them, sometimes without supervision. Right now, licensed mental health professionals can engage in harm reduction practices (for when clients use outside of a licensed clinic) and in integration (helping clients integrated psychedelic experiences) and provide needed accurate information about risks and benefits.

This Summit is designed for exactly that — practical guidance not just for the future, but right here, right now.
