Self as True Other in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy -an offering facilitated by Elana Angus
In this Salon we'll explore the concept of Self as True Other and how a profound shift can happen when the client experiences their own Core Self as a True Other. Some places in the psyche are private, and sometimes the therapeutic relationship is too small of a container for necessary healing. Rather than the therapist being the source of healing contact, we’ll explore how the client’s Core Self offers safety, precisely timed wisdom, and an inner witnessing that feels real, resonant, and transformative. Psychedelic psychotherapy can increase access to Core Self. It presents a unique opportunity for us as therapists to both support and get out of the way of intrapsychic connection. Elana will show an interview with a client discussing this experience, and together we will have the opportunity to consider how to encourage and support Self as True Other, and how it can inform our work as AEDP therapists.
