Psychedelics & Trauma: What Mental Health Professionals Need to Know

Psychedelic-assisted therapy holds promise — yet without trauma-attuned clinical skill, the experience can overwhelm the nervous system rather than support healing.

Join Hiedi Yardley, R.Psych and host Lauri Comoli for a focused, practice-based session exploring how to safely support trauma-impacted clients in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

We will explore:

• Trauma-informed preparation and therapist stance
• Establishing safety, consent, pacing, and relational grounding
• Working with survival-based defenses and emotional activation
• Cultural and contextual considerations in trauma-focused psychedelic work
• Evidence-informed integration practices across PTSD, addiction, pain, and end-of-life contexts

This session is designed for clinicians, allied health professionals, and trainees seeking grounded, ethical, client-centered psychedelic practice.
