Manual for Psychedelic Guides - Third Edition

De: Mark Haden

Narrado por: Sacha Husband

The Psychedelic Guide Manual describes, in detail the process of supporting someone who is using a psychedelic for therapeutic or spiritual purposes.

This manual is authored by Mark Haden (who was the Executive Director of MAPS Canada) with significant contributions from many others who are involved with this field.

This is a must listen for anyone who would like to guide someone through a psychedelic experience.

Psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and shamans would all benefit from this important knowledge.

From the preface of the second edition: A lot has happened in both the research and general psychedelic communities since I first published this manual in 2020.

This second edition is a response to the ongoing discussions regarding best practices for psychedelic guiding. Also, I have received a huge amount of feedback with interesting and constructive ideas which I believe are helpful to share.

New information on red flags, accountability, integration, how to offer incremental experiences, touch, soundproofing and many other new ideas are now available throughout this second version of the manual.

Preface to the third edition

This Guide Manual continues to evolve as our community of psychedelic guides continues to grow, develop skills, best practices and hopefully wisdom.

I would like to acknowledge all the wonderful facilitators who have offered their contributions to allow this third edition to be offered.

This edition contains new material on: music, how to deal with specific behaviors, screening, how to explain psychedelic therapy, and other ideas.
