Elizabeth Nielson
Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration in Clinical Practice
3:30 PM - 4:35 PM BST
Elizabeth Nielson, PhD | Click here for information about Elizabeth Nielson
What do you do when a client lets you know they’re going to use psychedelics on their own? Is there anything you can do to help reduce harm? And what about micro-dosing, which is gaining popularity? This presentation will provide essential information and guidance on how to have these important conversations – including discussions about microdosing, responding to requests for referrals to non-licensed providers, and working with difficult experiences.

Ingmar Gorman
MDMA-Assisted Therapy in the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
4:50 PM - 5:55 PM BST
Ingmar Gorman, PhD | Click here for information about Ingmar Gorman
Early trial studies show that MDMA has incredible potential to treat PTSD, and can even eliminate the PTSD diagnosis all together! Now, with a second trial study nearing completion, and the possibility of MDMA becoming an available treatment in the near future, this is your opportunity to get a full and up-to-date understanding of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for your practice.

Seema Desai
New Models for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
6:10 PM - 7:15 PM BST
Seema Desai, MD | Click here for information about Seema Desai
Ketamine is an FDA approved medication that has been used for anaesthesia and pain relief in adults and children for many years. But it has also been researched and used for the treatment of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other “treatment resistant” mental health disorders – with promising results. Now with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy becoming closer to being available for mental health therapists, this is your opportunity to get the latest insights on this developing healing opportunity.

Jeffrey Guss
An Introduction to Ayahuasca for Mental Health Providers
7:50 PM - 8:55 PM BST
Jeffrey Guss, MD | Click here for information about Jeffrey Guss
Ayahuasca is one of the most popular and least understood of the psychedelic agents. In this talk we’ll cover an introduction to ayahuasca, including biochemical, neuroscientific and historical/cultural aspects of its use. Following this, we’ll cover contemporary research on its effects on mental health and its use for treatment of conditions such as addiction and depression. Lastly, some of the psychodynamic aspects of shamanic and syncretic religions settings will be described.

Gabor Maté
When Psychedelics Hurt: Psychedelic Unpleasant Experiences as a Pathway to Healing
9:10 PM - 10:15 PM BST
Gabor Maté, MD | Click here for information about Gabor Maté
Not all experiences with psychedelics feel good. It’s in fact common for people to experience some level of distress, and without proper guidance, these unpleasant journeys can leave people feeling more dis-integrated than they were before. In this dynamic conversation, Gabor Maté, MD, will present from research and his own extensive experience, ways to reduce the likelihood of harm from psychedelic use, and how negative or unpleasant experiences can be transformed into deeply meaningful and healing experiences.

Day Two | Thursday 28 July
2:30 PM - 9:15 PM British Summer Time (BST)

Matthew Johnson
Evidence-Based Therapy Practices in Psilocybin-Assisted Interventions
2:30 PM - 3:35 PM BST
Matthew Johnson, PhD | Click here for information about Matthew W. Johnson
This workshop will explore modern approaches to psychotherapy using the classic psychedelic compound psilocybin. This includes a variety of disorders including substance use disorders, affective, and anxiety disorders. Methods for assuring safety as well as maximizing efficacy will be covered.

Victor Cabral
Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapies: A Policy Perspective
3:50 PM - 4:55 PM BST
Victor Cabral, MSW, LSW | Click here for information about Victor Cabral
In anticipation of FDA approval and medicalization, clinicians everywhere are asking to learn more about Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy. But many questions remain unanswered around the current policy landscape and the changes needed to welcome these medicines into our current healthcare system and in psychotherapy. This presentation will provide you with an overview of the history and current state of psychedelic policy and look ahead to what the future holds for clinicians like you to practice psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Phil Wolfson
The Fantastic Effects of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy: A Revolution in Clinical Practice
5:10 PM - 6:15 PM BST
Phil Wolfson, MD | Click here for information about Phil Wolfson
Ketamine has been used legally for depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health conditions. The presentation reviews the key elements of integration strategies specific to the mental health condition being addressed. Ketamine treatment has some specific nuances that will be outlined and compared to other psychedelics.

Monnica T. Williams
Psychedelics & Racial Justice
6:50 PM - 7:55 PM BST
Monnica T. Williams, PhD | Click here for information about Monnica T. Williams
Psychedelics have been studied for the treatment of PTSD, depression, end-of-life anxiety, OCD, addictions, and a number of other mental health conditions. However, research studies of psychedelic psychotherapies have largely excluded people of colour, leaving important questions unaddressed for these populations. Dr. Williams will review relevant research, documenting exclusion based on the international literature. She will discuss ethnic minority mental health and how psychedelic therapies may help or hinder healing for people of colour. Also discussed are next steps in ensuring that access to culturally-informed care is prioritized as several psychedelics move into late phase trials and expanded access, including the importance of culturally-informed approaches and training focused on therapy providers of colour.

Richard Schwartz
The Internal Family Systems Approach to Psychedelic Experiences
8:10 PM - 9:15 PM BST
Dick Schwartz, PhD | Click here for information about Richard C. Schwartz
The psyche is a delicate ecosystem and psychedelics are powerful agents that can profoundly affect it. While that effect can be positive, there is also the potential for extreme disruption. That’s where Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help therapists and clients alike maintain steady presence and not overreact to sometimes dramatic shifts. In this talk, IFS founder Dick Schwartz will address probable risks and benefits of incorporating psychedelics in the therapy room.
