Psychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy. A Memory-Consolidation Approach to Psychedelic Healing

Psychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy outlines a new protocol for psychedelic-assisted eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (PsyA-EMDR) in which the 8 phases enhance the preparation and integration stages of this groundbreaking psychotherapeutic intervention.

The book draws upon a rich tapestry of research, case material and clinical insight, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of how EMDR’s adaptive information processing (AIP) model conceptualises healing outcomes in psychedelic settings. Emphasizing harm reduction, social justice, and sustainability, this book systematically outlines a strong focus for the work, to ensure safer, more inclusive, equitable, environmentally conscious practices in psychedelic therapy delivery.

Authored by experts in the field, this is a groundbreaking resource that expands the horizon of contemporary psychedelic psychotherapy, offering a novel perspective in trauma-responsive healing.
