About The Episode 

What exactly is psychedelic integration coaching? Are there any professional standards for this work? Are certain approaches considered more valid than others?

The transformative power and challenges of psychedelic integration coaching are the theme of Shiri’s conversation with Yannick Jacob, a widely respected existential coach.

Shiri and Yannick explore the unregulated world of psychedelic integration coaching, where literally anyone can claim the title of a coach.

Is this ‘freedom’ to practice ideal? Is it dangerous? How do coaches learn to help clients in a way that is truly helpful?

Shiri and Yannick explore these questions and more in a discussion about the necessity for ethical practice, skill development, and a collaborative approach in this new and quickly blossoming field.
