What to Do After Your Client Uses Psychedelics
Most clinicians were never trained for this moment. Now it’s happening in session. A client mentions a recent psilocybin experience through Oregon’s legal services. Another discloses they’ve been using ketamine recreationally, and something shifted. A third describes a profound, disorienting experience from years ago that they’ve never shared with anyone — until now.

It's the tired that comes from being the one who notices. It's exhausting being the one who feels the shift in the room, who registers the tightness in som

The Silicon Valley land grab for the human soul didn't happen overnight. It was a slow, calculated siege, masked by the friendly blue-and-white interfaces of platforms promising to "democratize" mental health.
