    Community Lecture: Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 6pm-8pm

    Sexual boundary violations by therapists and sitters are a recurring and serious problem in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Psychedelics induce a profoundly vulnerable state in participants. The psychedelic setting can also amplify feelings and experiences of practitioners sitting with these participants; some sitters report surprising, disorienting erotic feelings and energy. At the same time, participants’ erotic feelings contain valuable clinical information about nonsexual needs, feelings, and experiences of the patient. Learning to manage erotic transference and countertransference is thus an essential task for every psychedelic practitioner. This workshop will begin to prepare practitioners for these experiences by providing a psychodynamic understanding of these and other feeling states in order to use this information safely and therapeutically. Dr. Song will present a framework for identifying and working with erotic transference/countertransference as well as other intense feeling states (e.g., love and hate) in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Participants will learn to develop clinical formulations that are developmental, intrapsychic, and relational. Red flag behaviors and attitudes in self and others will be described as well as strategies for reducing risk of committing boundary violations. Case material from ongoing interviews with psychedelic therapists and participants will be presented.

    Pat Song, PhD, is a clinical psychologist with a PhD from the University of Massachusetts-Boston and an M.Ed. in counseling psychology from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She has over 25 years of professional experience in a range of settings including a Harvard cocaine addiction treatment research project and clinical training at a Harvard Medical School public health teaching hospital. Other professional experience has been with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health AIDS Bureau and four college/military school counseling centers. Dr. Song is an active member of the Asian Psychedelic Collective and a graduate of the Center for Psychedelic Therapy and Research certificate training program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and the PRATI and Fluence KAP certificate programs. She has a private psychotherapy practice in Montpelier, Vermont, and conducts workshops on psychedelic assisted therapy around the US.

    Community Lecture: Tuesday, April 15, 2025, 6pm-8pm

    Since the invention of the spoken word, humans have gathered together to tell stories, share experiences, and create meaning from the signs and symbols in their world. This ancient ritual is a form of co-regulation, as well as a way of understanding one's individual experience through archetypal forces held within traditional stories and the larger context of community, society, and the world. Myths, fairy tales, and personal narratives can help people navigate times of change and create order out of chaos. This lecture will explore how we as clinicians can reintroduce this practice as a pathway to the co-creation of transformational change within our clients and illustrate the power of storytelling as a pathway to coherence and meaning making following difficult life events. Examples will be shared to help conceptualize the psychological journey from addiction to recovery and the healing insights encountered along the way. We will discuss how the symbols and themes found in stories can help us as clinicians to honor the internal wisdom of our clients and deepen our compassion for people who are navigating substance use disorders.

    Richard Pelfrey, MS, LMHC, LADAC, NCAC, has been holding space for the resolution and reintegration of trauma and addictions of all forms for the past 12 years. While becoming licensed as an addictions counselor, Richard heard the call to expand his work with people beyond traditional models and began exploring alternative methods for the resolution of trauma. Richard is trained and certified in Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Wim Hoff method, and Brainspotting, meditation leadership and grief counseling, and incorporates all of these modalities as well as a decade of apprenticeship in the Toltec wisdom path and traditional earth-based ceremony in his focused work with individuals and groups for the purpose of healing and finding our highest joy and artistry in life.

    Jonah Emerson-Bell, MA, LMHC, is a Tarot Reader, Astrologer, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background in Hypnosis and Integration Coaching. He holds a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work uses the archetypal language of symbol to help make the unconscious conscious and incorporates myth, magick, and creativity as ways to support clients in creating meaningful change. Jonah has appeared on various podcasts, taught classes, and given talks on astrology, mythology, and psychology. He produces a weekly Astrology forecast called This Week in Space!!! that can be found on YouTube and Instagram.
