Healing Emotional Neglect: Trauma-Informed Somatic Tools for Co-Regulation and Repair in Psychedelic Sessions

Emotional neglect often leaves unseen wounds that can surface during psychedelic sessions. In this heart-centered workshop, you’ll explore how to recognize and respond to the imprint of emotional neglect through a trauma-informed, somatic lens. Learn gentle, embodied tools to foster co-regulation, safety, and relational repair in altered states. This workshop is ideal for facilitators, guides, and psychedelic-assisted therapists seeking deeper awareness and capacity in psychedelic preparation, sessions, and integration.

Manuela Mischke-Reeds
The Multidimensional Seat of the Psychedelic Therapist
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
When holding expanded states, the therapist’s presence becomes the ground of safety, trust, and transformation. This experiential session explores the multidimensional seat of the psychedelic therapist, not as a role but as an ongoing inner practice. Rooted in trauma-informed somatic psychology, we will examine how to cultivate the qualities of being, attuned presence, grounded awareness, and ethical clarity, to navigate the complexity of expanded states. Through guided practices and direct somatic experience, participants will learn to self-regulate, metabolize internal triggers, and hold steady at the threshold where trauma, transformation, and mystery meet. Designed for those ready to move beyond techniques, this session invites you into the evolving art of becoming the instrument of healing, anchored, embodied, and awake.
We will explore how to:
Cultivate presence, groundedness, and humility as core therapeutic capacities
Work with internal activation using subtle somatic self-regulation
Hold transformative space with trauma-informed, relational attunement
Dr. Devon Christie
The 5 Invitations of Somatic Psychedelic Therapy: Supporting Inner Authority in Ethical Practice
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In psychedelic-assisted therapy, clients are more suggestible and relational dynamics carry greater weight. This session introduces the 5 Invitations of Somatic Psychedelic Therapy—a framework that centers inner authority, embodied awareness, and relational ethics. Rather than interpreting the experience for the client, we invite presence, choice, and meaning-making rooted in the client’s own body and worldview. This approach fosters trust, protects autonomy, and supports spiritual and emotional integration. Grounded in trauma-informed and somatic principles, these invitations offer a pathway for psychedelic therapists to navigate power, safety, and intimacy with skill and deep respect for the client’s unfolding process.
Rob Ó Cobhthaigh
The Somatic Processing Of Pre-Verbal Trauma In Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
A 75-MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
In this session, psychotherapist and psychedelic therapist Rob Ó Cobhthaigh will be exploring how pre-verbal trauma can manifest in psychedelic assisted therapy. We will explore the origins of pre-verbal trauma, theoretical frameworks, case studies of working with preverbal trauma and integration best practises. This session will be based on his experience at Inwardbound psilocybin retreats, having facilitated the psychedelic experiences of 1000+ clients from 20 + countries since 2018.
Chara Caruthers
The Space Between: Embodying Presence in Psychedelic Healing
A 75 MINUTE EXPERIENTIAL SESSION
What does it really mean to hold space for yourself or others in the unpredictable, deeply vulnerable territory of psychedelic experience? This session explores the often-unseen foundations of safety, presence, and trust through the lens of embodied awareness. Blending somatic practices with insights from research into psychedelic care, we’ll explore how holding space is not just something we do, but something we become. Through guided practices and gentle reflection, you’ll be invited to connect with your own capacity to meet expanded states with curiosity, awareness, and a grounded sense of being.
