The essential guide for anyone seeking clarity, safety, and empowered transformation in the rapidly evolving world of psychedelic healing--from bestselling author and expert guide Kristina Hunter

Includes in-depth discussions of consent, power dynamics, preparation, integration, and what to look for--or walk away from--when seeking a guide or facilitator

Grounded in rigorous science, expert information, and trauma-informed psychology, Kristina Hunter's primer on psychedelic care--from understanding your "why" to choosing a practitioner; from navigating your journey to integrating its insights--is a discerning, empowering resource for anyone seeking the transformative benefits of healing in expanded states.

You'll learn:

  • How psychedelics heal: understand how plant medicines and other entheogens facilitate inner healing intelligence
  • A self-empowered approach that helps you make informed, conscious choices from a place of agency and discernment
  • Harm- and risk-reduction strategies: screening practices, safety precautions, and ways to identify warning signs of incompetence and abuse
  • Skills for maximizing therapeutic benefit, like intention-setting, preparation, and integration strategies for long-term growth
  • About the realities and complexities of asymmetrical power dynamics in psychedelic guiding

Crucially, Hunter dedicates an unprecedented three chapters to exploring the ethics and power dynamics of psychedelic guiding, offering a necessary update on classic psychedelic explorers' guides that's firmly rooted in 21st-century realities. Readers will learn which red (and orange) flags to look out for and come away equipped with knowledge on consent, suggestibility, therapeutic alliances, and navigating transference.
