Workshops for Preparation and
Integration of Psychedelic Experiences
There is increasing clinical research suggesting that psychedelic-assisted therapies may offer profound therapeutic benefit when delivered in carefully controlled settings.
However, access remains limited, expensive, and highly regulated. Many people seeking healing or transformation are navigating psychedelic experiences outside of formal clinical or medical contexts — often without adequate psychological preparation or integration support. This can increase the risk of overwhelm,
destabilization, or harm.
At Ground Up Psychotherapy, we do not provide, administer, or facilitate substances. Our work is focused entirely on the psychological andemotional preparation for, and integration of, psychedelic experiences.
Preparation
Preparation is a lot more than setting an intention.
It involves bringing conscious awareness to the underlying patterns that already shape your inner world and experience of life — inherited beliefs, relational dynamics, unresolved experiences, and emotional imprints that influence your nervous system, perceptions, and behaviour.

Using principles of family or system constellations, along with embodied relational processes, we design carefully structured experiential inquiries which bring participants into direct contact with the events, forces, and relational fields, that are already shaping their behaviour and suffering.
These contained relational processes allow participants to:
- Develop greater awareness of underlying psychological, emotional and behavioural patterns
- Strengthen the capacity remain present with emotional intensity
- Develop greater nervous system and self-regulation
- Cultivate relational steadiness in the face of activation
Preparation does not attempt to replicate or replace a psychedelic experience. Rather, it develops the psychological readiness to meet such an experience with coherence and containment.
In this sense, preparation becomes an act of service to the healing movements of psychedelic medicines, which can increase capacity for consciously meeting whatever is revealed, rather than fragmenting their system through overwhelm.
Integration
Integration is the process which enables psychedelic experiences to be metabolized for meaningful and lasting change. Without integration, powerful experiences can feel fragmented, confusing, or disconnected from everyday life. With thoughtful support, insights and emotional releases can be translated into practical changes in relationships, behaviour, and self-understanding.
Through relational processing and constellation-based inquiry, we help participants to stay in relationship with whatever they have encountered — translating insight into embodied change, behavioural shifts, and relational repair.destabilization, or harm.
The result is often greater coherence, clarity of direction, and psychological integration.
