Prep/Integration Sessions
Before moving forward with medicine-assisted work, preparatory sessions are used to gain a deeper understanding of the modality, as well as learning more about how our nervous system, body, and mind react when certain memories, stimuli, or life events are discussed. These prep sessions are also a crucial time to build a safe, trusting, therapeutic relationship with the therapist.
Integration sessions can be helpful to process intense sessions or experiences. These can help gain perspective, meaning, safety, and clarity.
