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 a clinically validated therapy that utilises bilateral stimulation of the brain to access and reconsolidate pathologically encoded memories. The protocolised 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 a 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
