Psychedelic-Assisted EMDR Therapy is a groundbreaking exploration of how eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can be harnessed to enhance the beneficial effects of psychedelic medications. EMDR is an clinically validated therapy that utilises bilateral stimulation of the brain to access and reconsolidate pathologically encoded memories. The protocolized methods outlined herein offer a practical roadmap for unlocking the full potential of EMDR within the context of psychedelic assisted psychotherapies, paving the way for scalable psychedelic treatment options.
Drawing upon a rich tapestry of research, case material and clinical insight, this book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how EMDR’s adaptive information processing (AIP) model conceptualises healing outcomes in psychedelic settings. Emphasising harm reduction, social justice, and sustainability, this book systematically outlines a strong focus for the work, to ensure safer, more inclusive, equitable, environmentally conscious practices in psychedelic therapy delivery.
Authored by experts in the field, this is a compelling resource that expands the horizon of contemporary psychedelic psychotherapy, offering novel perspective and a confident new voice in trauma-responsive healing.
“The insights and experiences shared here will challenge many preconceived notions and hopefully inspire new perspectives of fusing psychedelic therapy with EMDR. I think this book might serve as a beacon of innovation and knowledge and as a catalyst for positive developments in mental health treatment advancement.”
David Nutt, professor of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London and author of Psychedelics
“As someone who has explored a range of therapeutic modalities to integrate and heal the psychedelic-induced psychotic states I experienced in1967, I found my EMDR sessions to be uniquely effective in revealing the roots of those terrifying experiences in early childhood trauma. I am deeply grateful for the healing that transpired during that work, and I applaud the timely publication of this comprehensive, groundbreaking volume.”
Scott Hill, author of Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience
“This is an original and compelling model of a trauma-focused psychedelic therapy with transformative potential for health care. This comprehensive book develops new protocols and models of best practice into a previously unexplored area of the psychedelic field.”
Maria Papaspyrou and Tim Read, co-directors of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy and co-authors of Psychedelics and Psychotherapy
