Psychedelic assisted therapies for PTSD are likely to be available within the next 2 years and depression soon after. The session seeks to describe a care-centered model for psychotherapy, sharing the native intelligences of nursing to all disciplines to help patients to best navigate psychedelic journeys. The session will focus on developing trust, maintaining presence, creating a therapeutic container with the patient, remaining open to spiritual experiences, and navigating touch in therapeutic settings.
