Common Questions
01. What is integration, and why is it important?
Integration is the process of reflecting on transformative or peak experiences (whether from psychedelics, personal breakthroughs, or profound moments in life) and turning those insights into meaningful, lasting change. It’s about bridging the gap between realization and action, helping you grow, gain clarity, and align your life with your values and goals. At PsyAwaken, we provide tools and support to help you make the most of these pivotal moments.
02. In brief, what does your program offer?
PsyAwaken offers 12 weekly self-paced exercises and tools designed to foster deep personal growth. Alongside these, you’ll participate in weekly live sessions with your cohort, providing an opportunity to discuss your experiences, reflect, share stories, ask questions, and connect with others on similar journeys.
03. What is the difference between 'integration therapy' and 'integration coaching'?
Integration therapy is more clinically oriented, dealing with psychological healing and mental health, and conducted by licensed professionals. Integration coaching2 is more focused on personal development, practical application of insights, and goal achievement, often facilitated by those with specialized training in integration processes rather than a formal mental health background.
04. Do I have to have a peak experience to integrate?
Not at all. You don’t need a profound (or even any) peak experience to gain value from integration. Integration is about reflection, processing, and taking intentional steps toward growth, and these principles apply universally, whether or not you’ve had a peak experience. Everyone’s journey is unique, and we’re here to support yours.
05. What makes group integration different from individual integration?
Group integration offers the added benefit of shared experiences and collective wisdom. It fosters a sense of community and belonging, providing diverse perspectives and support that enrich the integration process.
06. What kind of support can I expect from the community?
Expect empathetic, non-judgmental support, shared experiences, and insights from peers. The community offers a safe space for discussion, emotional support, and collective learning.
07. What should I expect in a typical group integration session?
In a typical live session, there will be guided discussions, shared personal experiences based on the asynchronous exercises and tools, expert insights, and supportive feedback. Sessions are designed to foster understanding, personal growth, and community connection.
08. I can't afford your program, right now. Do you have other options?
Yes! If you're interested in our monthly free sessions, you can easily sign up for an integration circle through my Eventbrite page. While these free sessions won't offer the dedicated group experience, resources, nor integration tools provided in our 3-month program, they still offer valuable benefits.
