This event will begin with a 30-45-minute presentation on the dangers of projection in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, followed by a 45-minute moderated discussion.
This conversation will cover the basic concepts of projection, transference, and countertransference as they apply to PAT, extending further into philosophical exploration of the extent to which our perceptions are always projections, and challenging our ability to ever really know the difference.
Clients in any form of therapy are often in an impressionable and vulnerable position, and there is perhaps no form of therapy where its more important for a therapist to acknowledge the possibility of influencing clients than in psychedelic assisted therapy.
Tony Shawcross will present guidelines and techniques from his trainings designed to help therapists minimize undo influence on clients. With content from Stanislav Grof, Peter Levine, Fritz Perls, Diane Poole Heller, and others.
