Underneath the Trip: Exploring the Light & Shadow of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies in 2025

 Underneath the Trip: Exploring the Light and Shadow of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies in 2025 will be a candid conversation about the rapidly evolving field of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT). The discussion will explore both the promise and potential of PAT, and what successful treatment can look like, as well as ethical challenges emerging across training, treatment, and the broader psychedelic arena. Balancing real-world personal reflections with professional experience, the panelists will share insights from their work across a multitude of psychedelic settings. Delivering perspectives both on what’s working and what’s not, they will examine how best to traverse the terrain of psychedelic-assisted therapy in the times ahead. Key topics will include essential skills for therapists to develop in training programs, a toolbox for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy delivery, inevitable ethical obstacles, and choice points for those obstacles. The panelists will engage in a heart-centered conversation, offering relevant and thought-provoking examples of both the hurdles and wins they’ve encountered.
