Safe, Supportive Psychedelic Harm Reduction in Peterborough, ON

Are you using psychedelics on your own, outside of a therapy session, or with a regulated psychedelic prescriber, to deal with issues like trauma and PTSD? At Restorative Mind Body Connections, we offer Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration (PHRI) to help individuals in the Peterborough, Ontario, area who are using psychedelics or undergoing Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP) with a regulated prescriber.

How Restorative Mind Body Connections Can Help

At Restorative Mind Body Connections, we are not involved with providing psychedelics or sourcing out psychedelic substances. Instead, we offer Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration (PHRI) to ensure the safety and effectiveness of psychedelic experiences.

If you are working with a regulated psychedelic prescriber for treatment resistant disorders, pain management, or through the Special Access Program, Restorative Mind Body Connections can work closely with your medical team to provide the necessary preparation and integration for your psychedelic experience.

PHRI vs. PAP: What’s the Difference?

"Psychedelic" refers to mind-manifesting and applies to compounds and experiences with substances and encounters that can alter your perception and heighten awareness of mental activities.

About Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration

Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration is a clinical model that incorporates harm reduction psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and psychodynamic therapy in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. The goal is to minimize risks and maximize the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics by providing a structured framework for analyzing and integrating psychedelic encounters.

About Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy

Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is the therapeutic approach that combines the use of psychedelic substances with psychotherapy. The goal of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy is to address persistent mental health disorders, such as PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. This therapy is designed to foster change by leveraging the unique properties of psychedelic agents under professional supervision.

Benefits of Our PHRI Services

With Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration from Restorative Mind Body Connections in Peterborough, you can benefit from:

Compassionate, Non-Judgmental Care

One of the benefits of Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration is its focus on creating a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment. You will feel safe discussing your experiences and decision-making processes openly, which enhances the therapeutic relationship and encourages long-term engagement.

Accurate Education and Information

With the prevalence of misinformation about psychedelics, proper education and information is key. Through Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration, you will learn about the effects, potential risks, and best practices for using psychedelics to significantly mitigate potential harms. This leads to safer and more productive psychedelic experiences.

Help Processing Psychedelic Experiences

Another benefit of PHRI is its emphasis on integration work. Integration sessions will help you process and make sense of your personal psychedelic experiences or during Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy. This helps to reduce the need for recreational use and helps maintain the therapeutic gains achieved during psychedelic experiences, or Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy.
