Course Description
Ethics goes beyond laws and guidelines. Ethical development requires acknowledgement of relationship. Relationship is at the heart of healing, and ethics are at the heart of any healing relationship. An ethical relationship is one a client can trust.
In psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, clients surrender to an as-yet-unknown transformation. It is crucial that patients are able to trust the person who sits with them during their exploration. They need to know the person they will rely on is willing to do their very best to attune to the extra-ordinary experience with them and to provide reassurance as needed in that world, yet, at the same time, maintain a safe physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual container for the explorer.
This course provides a self-reflective and self-compassionate approach to Right Relationship—an internal approach that focuses on motivations, those deep, not always conscious urges that precede our behaviors with clients. The self-inquiry of Right Relationship complements and amplifies the external, behavioral approach of traditional ethics education (the laws, codes, and standards that guide us behaviorally).

Testimonials
A whole new understanding of ethics is now embedded in me. I use it every day, in all my relationships.
The Ethics of Caring is an extraordinarily helpful and groundbreaking book for healers, clergy, therapists, and bodyworkers that illuminates what is necessary to offer wise and trustworthy relations to their clients.
Kylea Taylor’s book is a pioneering venture into new territories, providing important guidelines for practitioners and students.
I was impressed with the depth that Kylea Taylor stepped into with ethical principles in every level of clinical therapy.
I was impressed with the depth that Kylea Taylor stepped into with ethical principles in every level of clinical therapy.
I found this very helpful and thinking about work with extra ordinary states of consciousness as well as in thinking about my work as a traditional depth oriented psychotherapist.
As psychedelics expand our scope of therapy, so to do so we need our scope of ethics to expand. This course provides just that. Kylea, the presenter, draws on years of therapy experience to provide an insightful, well-planned, and effective tool for therapists to expand their understanding of the ethics needed for working with clients in extraordinary states of consciousness.
Kylea Taylor's course is an excellent and important investment in one's system. Any time is a good time to reflect and be reminded of the far-reaching and unmeasurable implications of this work.Interesting and concise.
This was a very well designed course that taught a lot of information in a short time frame. I will watch it over again to gather more of the details. Highly recommend for other therapists and guides.
Very engaging and informative training. Kylea's expertise in the worlds of Holotropic Breathwork and psychedelics is evident in how the similarities and differences of these modalities are woven into this training. These are two worlds in which I walk and I am thankful for an expanded model of ethics that includes the traditional approach without condemning it. This training has made me eager to hear more about the Ethics of Caring.
I loved this ethics course! Kylea is full of wisdom. I walked away from this course with a great new set of tools in a short period of time. Thanks so much!
A great reminder for anyone working in psychedelic medicine about personal bias and how it can appear in a therapeutic relationship. There is work to be done on oneself even when in a provider role with a client. This is particularly a useful course if you feel that you have moments of rupture in your client sessions even though ‘you know better’.
