The Inner Shift Method

Our Inner Shift Method is a carefully crafted approach designed to facilitate profound transformation through inner child healing and psilocybin-assisted therapy sessions.

1. Creating an Emotionally Safe Space

The foundation of our method is establishing not only a physically safe environment but also an emotionally secure space. By embracing emotional validation and removing the shame around emotions, we empower you to freely explore the depths of your subconscious mind. This unreserved acceptance encourages you to express and navigate through your emotions with ease, making it possible to dive deep into self-exploration and inner child healing.

2. Compassionate Inquiry

Unlike many providers who choose not to intervene during the journey, we actively engage with you by asking purposeful questions that align with your intentions and healing goals. Given the heightened state of consciousness induced by the psilocybin experience, you are better equipped to uncover and understand deep insights. These timely inquiries guide you towards profound realisations and facilitate a transformative healing process. Our clients share with us how important these questions were to be directed in the right direction on their psilocybin journey.

3. Subconscious Reprogramming

Core beliefs about unworthiness, unlovability, or insufficiency can deeply affect your life. Our method utilises subconscious reprogramming techniques during the peak moments of the psilocybin experience to address and shift these detrimental beliefs. This pivotal aspect of the Inner Shift Method allows you to emerge from the experience with a newfound love and acceptance for yourself, transforming your internal narrative.

4. Empathetic Reflection

A pivotal element of the Inner Shift Method is our role as empathetic mirrors during your journey. Our facilitators are not just observers; they deeply empathize with and reflect on your experiences. This profound level of empathy ensures that you feel seen, understood, and supported at every step. By resonating with your emotional landscape, we offer guidance and validation that enhance the therapeutic process, making your psilocybin experience a deeply connected and healing journey.

5. Trauma Healing

From years of experience, we know that psilocybin experiences can unlock the subconscious, potentially bringing traumatic memories to the forefront—even those long forgotten. These may be deeply ingrained memories from early childhood or even birth. Our facilitators are adept at identifying and guiding you through these pivotal moments of trauma, ensuring that what could have been a distressing experience transforms into one of inner child healing.

6. Inner Child Healing

When past traumas surface, we employ inner child healing work to navigate these challenging moments. Our facilitators are trained in trauma integration therapy, allowing us to guide you through deep discomfort that may reemerge during a psilocybin experience. This aspect of our method involves nurturing and healing your inner child, offering the support and validation needed to heal old, unprocessed emotional wounds. This ensures that healing is not just temporary but addresses the root causes of emotional pain, leading to lasting change.

7. Meeting Early Childhood Needs:

Our facilitators are adept at addressing needs that went unmet during your early childhood. If your psilocybin experience uncovers difficult memories rooted in unhealthy family dynamics, our facilitator embodies the role of a loving parent or caretaker, offering the support and nurturing previously absent. This unique aspect of our method provides a corrective emotional experience, promoting healing and closure.

8. Overcoming Resistance

It’s not uncommon to encounter resistance due to fear, a desire to control the experience or mental overactivity. This inner resistance can block the psilocybin experience from starting, leaving the participant in a waiting state. Our method includes proven therapeutic tools to help you move beyond these barriers. By shifting from a state of mental resistance to one of bodily presence, we facilitate the commencement of the psilocybin journey, enabling you to access the transformative potential of the experience fully.

9. Nervous System Regulation

A key component of our approach involves working with your nervous system through somatic techniques. By helping you regulate your nervous system, we enhance your ability to stay present and connected throughout the psilocybin experience, ensuring a more grounded and transformative experience.

10. Trusting Your Inner Healer:

An integral part of our method is recognising when to allow space for the psilocybin experience to guide the process and when to intervene. We respect the healing and learning facilitated by medicine, choosing not to intervene when you are in a space of growth and surrender. Trust in your inner healer is paramount, balancing guidance with the autonomy of your journey.

11. Integration:

A critical phase of the Inner Shift Method, integration bridges the gap between your psilocybin experience and your daily life. This process involves consolidating the insights, emotional breakthroughs, and transformative realisations into actionable steps and sustainable changes. Our facilitators guide you through reflecting on your journey, identifying key learnings, and applying them to create meaningful, lasting changes in your life. This ensures that the profound shifts experienced during the retreat continue to enrich and guide you long after the immediate effects of psilocybin have subsided, making your transformation a lasting cornerstone of your personal growth and development.

The Inner Shift Method is a holistic approach that integrates modern psychological techniques with the ancient wisdom of psilocybin, offering a comprehensive path to healing, self-discovery, and profound personal growth. Through this method, we support you in navigating the complexities of your inner world, leading to lasting transformation and a deeper connection with your true self.
