Course Description

Ethics goes beyond laws and guidelines. Ethical development requires acknowledgement of relationship. Relationship is at the heart of healing, and it is ethics that are at the heart of any healing relationship. An ethical relationship is one a client can trust.

The therapist using psychedelic-assisted therapy is responsible to create the Right Conditions so that the inner healing capacity of the client can mobilize to do its work with the assistance of the psychedelic and therapeutic support. 

This course provides a self-reflective and self-compassionate approach to Right Relationship. This internal approach puts our focus on motivations, attitudes, and biases—those deep, not always conscious urges that precede our behaviors with clients. Self-inquiry complements the external, behavioral approach of traditional ethics education (the laws, codes, and standards that guide us behaviorally.) 

This Part II of Ethical Right Relationship in Psychedelic Therapy course introduces viewers to two additional means to assist in a practical way with awareness and maintaining Right Relationship with clients in the therapeutic container.

Ethics 102 and Ethics 103 is meant to follow the Ethics 101 course. Ethics 102 contains a six-minute review of Ethics 101. Bundle courses to receive 20% off!

Testimonials
I found that the tools presented allow a therapist to examine ethical dilemmas as opportunities to grow & develop rather than punish & judge, and that is how I intend to use all the tools (Protection, Permission & Connection, Ethical Vulnerabilities Model, Who's This For?, C-DEEPEN, and Peer Consultation). I personally enjoyed the lectures with Kylea tremendously. In addition to the valuable tools that were included, what I found very valuable is looking at ethics from the point of view of relationship rather than law, and examining how my internal motivations & values align with action through the ethical lens.
Lama Elkhaldi
I have found how important this topic is for me and its importance for my work. Before this, I may not have emphasized ethics at first, assuming that I already have the wisdom and integrity necessary. At the moment, I believe a strong and clear understanding of ethics will facilitate healing. The relationship is part of the healing process. It is much more important than I could imagine. I will continue to explore this book and the tools with my classmates in hopes of avoiding some common pitfalls and exploring when I am in and out of the right relationship with myself and others in both my personal and professional life.
Jorge Arias
A whole new understanding of ethics is now embedded in me. I use it every day, in all my relationships.
Marie-Louise Peterslund Triksys, Psychologist
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.
Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., Author of A Wise Heart, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, and A Path with Heart
Kylea Taylor’s book is a pioneering venture into new territories, providing important guidelines for practitioners and students.
Stanislav Grof, M.D., Author of Psychology of the Future, Realms of the Human Unconscious, and The Adventure of Self Discovery
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’.
Anonymous (Medicine Consultant)
I consider this course one of the best on ethics I've been part of.
Michael M., Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Kylea was very knowledgeable and masterful in her presentation. I appreciated her sharing examples of her own challenges, which served to humanize her and add more relevance to the content.
Jake K., Registered Nurse
I appreciated this take on professional ethics, and in particular the observation that traditional ethics has left out the therapist 's internal motivations, and any information about non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Greta L., Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
The presence of Kylea Taylor, permission to continue to dive deep into my own transpersonal transformational work and reflect on the professional vulnerabilities to ethical misconduct, and the concept of not doing during a participants experience.Doing by not doing is so important in non - ordinary states of consciousness and trusting the clients inner healing intelligence is guiding them and their psyche into the work that is just right for them at the time.
Nicole H., Psychedelic Integration Coach
What an incredibly valuable invitation to pause and ask yourself 'who is this for' when you are about to intervene with a client.
Julia M., Medicine Consultant
