The goal of integration, in a general sense, is to achieve wholeness in your life by aligning your everyday behavior with your values, goals, aspirations, and core beliefs.

Psychedelics can provide profound insight into our emotional states, thought patterns, mindsets, and relationships. But the scale of this insight is often much deeper and more abstract than we’re used to, making it difficult for us to make sense of how we might use it to affect positive changes in our lives.

Enter the psychedelics integration coach.

A psychedelic integration coach works with a client to achieve integration by first identifying the profound lessons from a psychedelic experience or experiences and then working with them to find actionable ways to integrate this insight into their everyday lives.

An integration coach often aims to remove mental blocks and toxic mindsets to allow the person to realize their full potential. To that end, the integration coach uses the psychedelic experience in a number of different ways, including:

• Identifying personal development goals prior to a trip
• Identifying mental, emotional, and/or psychological blocks
• Developing a plan of action before, during, and after a trip to achieve your goals
• Providing accountability through check-ins and regular sessions

A psychedelic coach’s role differs from that of a  therapist in several key ways.

A psychedelic therapist differs from a coach in that they leverage the psychedelic experience to heal the wounds of trauma. They’re trained in more mainstream therapeutic methods and are often able to diagnose and treat specific mental disorders. But their added experience with psychedelics can provide more depth in all areas of treatment, including diagnoses, treatment planning, and maintenance following treatment.

One way to think of the difference between the two is that a therapist helps to heal your past while a coach helps to build your future. Of course, there’s a lot of overlap in these goals. Many therapists can and do help with personal and spiritual growth while many coaches help you overcome the chains of your past. The focus of the therapist, however, is on healing emotional and psychological distress, while the focus of the coach is to aid in personal and spiritual transformation.
