Course Description

Therapists and practitioners use the structure of an InnerEthics® Peer Consultation Group to create a safe enough container in which they can serve one another by taking turns in the roles of a consultation. This will bring greater benefit to their clients and support one another in maintaining ethical alertness.

This video course provides instruction about the structure (the roles and functions) that supports vulnerability with attention to compassion and learning instead of judgment so that group members can grow more conscious and skillful together. You will observe five therapists use role-play to demonstrate how the easily learned roles and functions work to support one another’s insight and consciousness development.

The value of this structure is that members can feel safe enough with their like-minded, compassionate peers to pull back the curtain bit by bit from their Shadows, from their unconscious motivations, biases, and patterns. With more consciousness and clarity, members can make better choices when they are in the role of “Responsible Party”.


Connection and Practice

This course helps you to connect with peers interested in convening a group. We’ll provide you with a way to find others who have completed the ethics series.

[ETHICS 103 can stand alone as a course, but if members of your Peer Consultation Group have taken ETHICS 101 and ETHICS 102, you will all have been introduced to the InnerEthics® Ethical Awareness Tools for finding Right Relationship with Clients. You will be able to utilize these well in your Peer Consultation Group. Using the same terms and speaking the same “therapeutic ethical shorthand” saves time and allows members to be much more helpful to each other.] 


Who is this course for?

This course is for practitioners who are presently practicing or being trained to do psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy or assisting clients with the integration of these kinds of profound experiences. This ethical approach is helpful to anyone working therapeutically. This particular course is focused on how practitioners can support each other in compassionate self-reflection about therapeutic relationships. These elements require self-awareness, ethical awareness,  and trigger management by those working with patients or clients in the field of psychedelics: psychologists, therapists, mentors, physicians, medical professionals, bodyworkers, teachers, and other practitioners.

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.
