Experiencers need a safe, knowledgeable container in which to debrief.

Psychedelic experience is dramatic—it can be exhilarating, healing, spiritually expansive; or scary and fear inducing.

Psychedelic experience can be deep mind work and change. It accesses deep levels of consciousness and can be very expansive and healing or confusing and sometimes painful. Experiences are so non-ordinary and different that an experienced post-trip guide–PEIC–can aid in interpreting and integrating what happened.

Contemporary psychology is not able to interpret psychedelic events and often labels and pathologizes them and the experiencer. Many main-stream therapist are afraid of the topic.

This is why PEIC with an expert, trained integration counselor, with a mental health background is essential for getting the most out of a psychedelic experience.
