A Practical Introduction to the Principles of Psychedelic Therapy

This 20-minute educational video teaches psychedelic drug users how to minimize psychological risks and explore the therapeutic applications of psychedelics. Narrated by Donna Dryer, M.D., the video demonstrates examples of when and how to help a friend, peer, or loved one make the most out of adifficult experience with psychedelics. It elaborates on the four basicp rinciples of psychedelic therapy: 1) Create a safe space 2) Sitting, not guiding 3) Talk through, don't talk down 4) "Difficult" is not necessarily "bad."

Working with Difficult Psychedelic Experiences was originally produced for the curriculum of a church-based harm reduction drug education program for teenagers, but is intended as a tool for anyone who has everused psychedelics, for anyone who might in the future, for anyone who knowssomeone who has ever used psychedelics, or for anyone who knows someone whomight in the future. In other words, you!

Working with Difficult Psychedelic Experiences is produced by Bricolage Media and MAPS, and directed and written by MAPS Director ofC ommunications Jag Davies. Please feel free to share this video with your students, teachers, friends, family, and anyone else who may find it useful.

Very cool video. So if you have a bad trip, it is not really a bad trip but a difficult one.... sound much nicer, and is true I guess... I think I really learned some small things from this video. Thanks MAPS! :)
 
The title used for this article is a bit misleading: although the 4 principles mentioned might be in fact the basis of psychedelic therapy , the video is mainly about assisting someone who's tripping.
 
Very interesting video especially for people that don't know a thing about psychedelics. Too bad it's so hard to explain (in 20 minutes :P) what a person is going through when having a difficult psychedelic experience.
 
Hmmm, I think I've expected to much of this video...
It's just a boring tripsitting 101 guide.
Although I think it's good that many people see this, for real psychonauts this is just the basics...
