Integration
Integration is the process of turning psychedelic states into enduring traits.

“A psychedelic experience may take you to a place possible for the future you—one full of understanding, beautiful engagement with the world, and love—but having that experience once does not mean it will stay with you. For these ‘states’ to turn into ‘positive character traits,’ you need to do some work to transform the experience of a ‘state’ into a lasting part of who you are. This is integration.”
Honoring your psychedelic medicine experiences through integration is an important part of the journey. Integration is the process of digesting your psychedelic experience and finding ways for it to support a more harmonious life. Integration also helps you bring awakened parts of your self into a new sense of identity.
You will start the integration process with your provider every session. We also recommend that you meet regularly with a dedicated integrator throughout your treatment. You will maximize benefits by coordinating integration meetings within two days of treatment sessions.
There are many different approaches to integration.
It is a very personal journey, and you will resonate with some practitioners and techniques more than others. Your preferences and needs may also change over time as your healing progresses. We are available to help you find the best match.
If you already have an established relationship, we welcome the opportunity to work with your therapist, healer, or spiritual guide.
Providers listed on our Integration Team are affiliated with, but not employed by, our clinic. You pay the integrator directly for their services, independent of the cost of your sessions at Cascade Psychedelic Medicine.
