Three ways to work in psychedelic-assisted coaching: integration work after the experience, guiding clients through the journey itself, or preparing them beforehand. Each lane offers different rewards depending on what kind of support you want to give.
Some people want to work on just one aspect of this. They may want to work on the integration because it's thrilling to work with somebody who's neuroplastic and having all these real breakthroughs, because most coaches will tell you that one of the most frustrating things is repeatedly going through the same thing with their client and no change is happening. They keep talking, but nothing's happening. And when you've had a psychedelic experience and you've really shifted your consciousness, the gains that people can make are huge. So there's a lot of satisfaction people get from just doing integration. Some people may just want to be a guide during the experience because helping people to move through the experience and their emotions and connecting them back to their breath, that thrills them. And there's some people that literally just want to prep people for the journey. They get a kick out of, you know, helping these people have their first experience with a new medication, a new compound. So wherever it fits you, you get to play there.
Some people are looking for a job. Others are looking for work that actually means something.
Building a career in psychedelics isn't as crazy as it sounded five years ago.
