A psilocybin experience is only the beginning.

You may have been thinking about psilocybin for a while.

You’ve read some of the research. Listened to the podcasts. Heard other people’s experiences and wondered what an experience of your own might mean for something in your life.

Maybe you’ve tried therapy or medication before. Maybe some of it helped. Maybe you’re simply curious about whether seeing things differently could open up another way forward.

There’s a lot of attention on the experience itself. Far less on the work that can happen before it, and what you do with what you’ve learned afterward.

That’s where P.A.T.H. comes in.

We offer online psychotherapy with registered therapists who help you prepare for a psilocybin experience and integrate what follows. You work with the same therapist before and after, building a relationship that can continue for as long as you feel it’s needed.

Integration

Everyone talks about the journey. Almost nobody helps with the landing.

Something happens, and then Monday happens.

Most of us have well-worn ways of seeing ourselves, other people and the problems in our lives. We can understand a pattern for years and still find ourselves travelling down the same path.

One of the remarkable things researchers are learning about psilocybin is that, for a period of time, those familiar patterns can become less rigid. The brain’s usual ways of organizing experience are disrupted, and there can be more flexibility in how we think, feel and see ourselves.

Something that has always looked one way can suddenly look different.

You might come away seeing someone you love differently, and wanting to tell them something you’ve never quite managed to say.

You might feel compassion toward yourself that has been difficult to access for years.

Or you might see an old pattern, something you’ve understood intellectually for a long time, from an entirely different angle.

That new perspective is part of what can make a psilocybin experience so meaningful.

Then ordinary life resumes.

The inbox is the same inbox. The self-criticism can find its way back. You understand the pattern, and then it appears in the middle of a Tuesday argument and you respond the way you always have.

A different perspective can be powerful. Living differently because of it takes practice.

That’s where integration comes in.

Working with P.A.T.H.

Psychotherapy that fits into the life you already have.

Psychedelic retreats can be valuable for some people. They can also cost thousands of dollars, before travel and time away from work are considered.

P.A.T.H. offers a different service.

Individual preparation and integration psychotherapy, online, with a therapist you can continue seeing when you’re back at work, back with your family and living the life where the work actually matters.

There’s no residential program and no fixed package of sessions.

You choose a registered therapist who practises in your province.

If you continue after your experience, the relationship is already there. You can keep working on what has emerged rather than starting again with somebody new or trying to fit integration into a predetermined number of appointments.

P.A.T.H. provides detailed receipts for extended health benefits. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan and your therapist’s professional designation.

Your $175 fee is for psychotherapy. The psychedelic experience itself is independently arranged. P.A.T.H. does not administer psilocybin or supervise the experience.
