“The ego knows only its own contents, not the unconscious and its contents. People measure their self-knowledge by what the average person in their social environment knows of himself, but not by the real psychic facts which are for the most part hidden from them.”

Recognize that unlearning is the highest form of learning. - Rumi

One of the common suggestions I make to many is the theory of unlearning, what could that mean for you? Please enlighten me! 🦚🤍🫧👣🙏

What is Dissociation? 🤷
A perspective from the NeuroAffective Touch Institute.
It may be that most dissociation we encounter in our clients stems from early attachment trauma.
Relational and emotional trauma causes a disintegration in the right brain, which is particularly damaging
during the early stages of neural development when attachment and affect regulation take center stage.
Dissociation stemming from early attachment trauma
Suffering from dissociation means that, to varying degrees, we are detached from others, from the world around
us, and from our own bodies. We wonder “what it all means?”
We are prone to reacting to interpersonal stress with low arousal and shutting down. Our body lacks the
energy to engage in life.
We may have little sensation in the body, in some regions of the body, on one side or in the upper or lower
body.
We suffer from disorientation; depersonalization: derealization; out-of-body experiences; dissociative
identity disorder. How do we somatically engage dissociation?
Dissociation is a significant impediment to neural integration. The poorly integrated right brain needs a
reparative relationship that the left hemisphere cannot do on its own. We continue to explore the restoration of
brain integration and give our body-brain the holding care that invites yielding and supports the neuroplasticity
that allows new learning.

“So when our repressed material arises, we need to allow it to arise without suppressing it. Without analyzing, we allow these feelings to be experienced in the body, in our being, and to unfold as they will. What you will find if you do this is that whatever kind of pain it is, whether it is emotional, psychic, physical, spiritual, or otherwise, this repressed material will arise, reveal itself, be experienced and then pass away. If it doesn’t pass away, you will know that somewhere there is resistance, or denial, or indulgence - which is a good thing to recognize, because it gives you the opportunity to let go of it once again.”

Opening Doors to Transpersonal States
Could cannabis then be a valuable entry point to non-ordinary, psychedelic states? Razvi suggests it’s a good idea to reclaim the foundation of your physical being first.

“If your nervous system exists in a state of compromise, meaning there’s a lot of dissociation in your system, you can do transpersonal work, but you’re doing it from a position of a compromised foundation.”
He suggests that individuals dealing with pre-personal biological levels of trauma and compromise in their system may find resolution for those layers working with less transpersonal medicines, such as cannabis and M**A.

“Ideally, resolve that layer, then move on to more transpersonal experiences,” he says.
“People should not walk away thinking that if they smoke cannabis, they are going to have deeply restorative psychedelic experiences for their nervous system and trauma,” Stover cautions.

If individuals plan to consume cannabis as part of a ritual or ceremony – just like psychedelics – the relationship matters.

“I think this is where the gold is, right?” Razvi added. “I think we’re missing out on major therapeutic opportunities when we’re doing more non-relational, sitter models. Human relational wounding requires human relational work.”

However, whether the psychedelic community chooses to label cannabis a psychedelic, its significance as a valuable therapeutic medicine is undeniable.
One thing remains certain: the true healing power of mind-altering substances comes down to who, what, where, and why we are taking them. In that respect, cannabis has definitely earned a seat at the table.

“Something I have observed in clients is how they assimilate new ideas and upgrade their belief systems following a psilocybin experience, which can be beneficial as their old beliefs might have become ineffective,” Stover added.
“However, there’s often a disconnect between their newfound ideas and their physical bodies. So, body and spirit are in different places and this is why somatic work is so hugely important. Cannabis can be a powerful ally — when facilitated in the right process — to sync body and mind.”

Group integration therapy this Tuesday 23rd. This aims to help individuals process, embody and integrate their state change or altered state experiences in a supportive and safe environment. For example from the use of breathwork or psychedelic medicines. This type of therapy is facilitated by PTNQ trained therapists who have extensive experience and scientific training working with and understanding the unique challenges and benefits of the bottom up approach of Somatic Experiencing Therapy.

Alone Australia's Gina Chick on embracing discomfort | Australian Story “We only grow when we’re uncomfortable,” Gina Chick, the first winner of the SBS TV series Alone Australia, says. #...

“To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing, red-hot iron; it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever. You have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question - whether you can love yourself. And that will be the test.”

― Carl Jung

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

Individual integration therapy.
Within this intricate tapestry of transformation, our individual integration services stand out as guiding stars. Facilitated by the dedicated expertise of Leisa and Nathan, clients embark on a carefully crafted journey through the intricate landscape of their own altered states. These sessions represent a transformative odyssey, where self-discovery flourishes, authenticity takes root, and the threads of altered states intricately weave into the fabric of daily existence.

As part of this comprehensive journey, we integrate the power of somatic experiencing art therapy and Neuro Affective Touch (NAT) into our treatment approach. These complementary practices provide a profound layer of depth to the integration process, facilitating a holistic transformation.

Somatic experiencing art therapy enables clients to explore and express the subtle nuances of their altered states through creative means. Art becomes a language through which the unspoken experiences and emotions within these states can find expression. This artful exploration serves as a bridge, connecting the conscious mind with the depths of the altered state, allowing for a richer understanding and integration of these profound experiences.

Neuro Affective Touch (NAT), on the other hand, offers a tactile dimension to the integration process. Through the therapeutic use of touch, individuals can further process and release stored trauma or stress from the body. It becomes a means of connecting with and grounding the experiences of altered states in the physical body, creating a harmonious alignment between the mind and body.

“Here is some feedback from the last Breathwork session that was so magical. Such profound, safe and supportive work from Leisa & Nathan💚🫶

"The integration is interesting, I feel a freedom and inner knowing and I have an uber sensitive awareness to at the first glimpse of self-doubt/insecurity..."

Since the session I feel more relaxed and calm within myself. Little things don’t seem to bother me as much anymore. I feel more in control of my emotions and not so reactive. It still feels like I’m floating around in protective blissful bubble most of the time.”

Without integration we can be left confused and, in some instances, overwhelmed, which can lead to increased mental health challenges.
The psychedelic/altered state session is a small part of a much larger healing journey. As some people are experimenting and while some medications are still illegal, we understand many people are exploring these altered states perhaps by themselves. We would like to offer support in the way of integration. When we are able to embody our experience of altered states, we start to see the ripple effect of change in our lives.

If you or you know of someone struggling with an experience they may have had with medicine or any altered state please let them know there are ways to support this process. It doesn’t matter if it was last night or 30 years ago, the amazing part of this work is that it can be embodied at any time.

Our intention and commitment is to provide accessible, supportive and compassionate Integration Therapy of altered state or state change experiences.

​

We bring years of combined skills to offer an embodied approach to integration support and therapy to the wider community. Studies have shown integration is an integral part of the Altered State experience. This includes and is not limited to state change such as Holotropic/Transformational Breath Work & harm minimisation pre and post Psychedelic Medicines.

​

By incorporating somatic experiencing and emotional embodiment (the bottom up approach), we depart from the traditional top-down cognitive model, enabling us to liberate ourselves from ingrained patterns and defences. Our therapy has been proven to facilitate the identification and transformation of mindsets, allowing for the expansion of perspectives and a greater acceptance of life.
