Psilocybin for Relationships & Family

Our relationships with the people closest to us can be meaningful and enrich our lives. They can also be complicated at times. Patterns in communication, trust, intimacy, parenting, or family life can build over time. They can be hard to understand or change, even when we truly want things to improve.

Psilocybin-assisted therapy can offer a different space to explore yourself in the context of your relationships. Experiences may bring up emotions, memories, patterns, or new views. These can relate to how you connect with others. They may show what you need in relationships.

At Reset, relationship and family work is individualized to you and what you hope to explore.

Sessions can involve one person working individually on relationship or family concerns, or couples and family members participating in the process together. We tailor preparation and integration to the people involved and their goals for the experience.

What to Expect

Individual Sessions

Preparation: Preparation gives you and your therapist time to explore relationships or family dynamics. You may discuss patterns in communication, connection, trust, boundaries, or other concerns that feel important to you. You’ll discuss your goals for the experience and identify how your therapist can best support you during the session.

Administration Session: our psilocybin session is private and supported by your therapist throughout the experience. You do not need to focus specifically on your relationships during the session. Instead, you have space to follow what arises naturally. This may include emotions, memories, patterns, or perspectives about you and the people in your life.

Integration: After your session, you will meet with your therapist. You will discuss the psychedelic-assisted therapy experience. You explore how it may relate to your relationships currently and in the past.

You might notice something about the way you communicate, patterns you fall into, and what you need from others. Sometimes relationships from the past are interfering with our relationships in the present. Integration gives you time to sort through ideas that may have come up during psilocybin session.

Couples & Family Sessions

Preparation: Each participant has a one-hour individual session with their therapist. They explore their intentions, needs, questions, and concerns for the experience. The couple or family then meets for an additional one-hour preparation group session.

They discuss shared intentions, relationship dynamics, and session expectations. Each person also shares how they would like support. The goal is to create a foundation for participating together in the experience.

Administration Session: Couples or family members participate in the psilocybin experience together, with their therapist support throughout the session. Each person has space to have their own experience. The session also allows opportunities for connection and interaction to happen naturally.

A psilocybin-assisted therapy session is different from traditional couples or family therapy. Rather than working through specific issues directly, the experience allows each person to focus on what arises naturally. This can create space for new perspectives, deeper understanding, and connection.

Integration: After the experience, integration gives you time to reflect on what came up during the session. You may explore how new perspectives, insights, or moments of connection relate to your relationship or family.

You will get at least two hours of support to help you integrate. This support includes your therapist and other couple or family members. This time can help you understand each person’s experience and share your own needs.
