Psilocybin for Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can shape how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and respond to the world around us. For some people, traditional therapy offers helpful tools and insight. Yet some patterns, emotions, or experiences may still feel hard to reach.

Individual psilocybin assisted therapy offers a different setting in which to explore experiences related to trauma and PTSD. At Reset, a trauma informed licensed clinical facilitator supports this work.

We plan thoughtfully and prioritize emotional and physical safety. We also honor each person's background and specific needs. The goal during psilocybin therapy isn’t to push anyone into reliving old trauma. Instead, we aim to provide a caring environment for whatever arises on its own.

What to Expect

Preparation: Preparation is especially important when working with trauma. You and your therapists will discuss your history and current concerns.

You will also share your intentions for the experience. You will discuss what helps you feel safe and supported. Together, you’ll talk through what to expect during the psilocybin session.

You’ll also make a plan for how your therapist can best support you during the experience.

Preparation with a trauma-informed therapist can help you feel more prepared. It can help you face difficult emotions, memories, or experiences that may come up.

Administration Session: Your session takes place privately with the support of your clinical facilitator throughout the experience. You don’t need to discuss your trauma or work through specific memories during the session.

Your therapist will take notes to help you keep track of ideas or connections that arise. They can offer reassurance, grounding, or support when needed while giving you space to engage with your experience at your own pace.

Integration: After your session, you’ll have at least two hours of integration with your therapist. You may discuss memories, emotions, body sensations, or changes in perspective. You can share what happened during your psilocybin-assisted therapy session and what you want to understand better.

There doesn’t need to be a major insight or resolution. Integration gives you space to explore what the experience means to you and how it may relate to your life moving forward.
