Join our online support group

We do not offer therapy but if you’re seeking advice on post-psychedelic difficulties you can email us at contact@challengingpsychedelicexperiences.com and we can suggest resources. You can also join our monthly online peer support group for people experiencing post-psychedelic difficulties, which meets on the last Sunday of every month.

How we have helped

'Thank you for your generous consultation about this case -- I can’t tell you how valuable it was for me. I wrote a report and testified to grand jury about this case and included some of the quotes from your study participants about their experiences of derealization. I think those statements were incredibly important in helping the grand jury understand the experience of derealization following using psychedelics. Ultimately, the grand jury dropped the 84 counts of Attempted Murder...He is home with his wife and kids' - Alexander Milkey, forensic psychiatrist in the defence of Joseph Emerson, pilot on trial for trying to crash a plane two days after taking magic mushrooms

How we have helped

'I was looking for science-based research about how I could reassemble my mind after a legal, facilitated psilocybin journey at age 73. Then I found Ecstatic Integration and dove into its regular publication of thoughtful reports and research about what can go wrong when humans try to exit the matrix by rebooting the mind using psychedelics.' - Eva, a reader of our newsletter, Ecstatic Integration

How we have helped

'I had an ayahuasca experience and afterwards felt anxious and disorientated. This has been the worst year of my life. Thankfully I found CPEP's work online; I read the stories from other people who have had challenging psychedelic experiences and eventually attended the support group which CPEP runs. CPEP also helped connect me with an integration therapist who has been immensely helpful. Post psychedelic difficulties are so hard as few people can understand what you are going through; Jules and his support group are a lifeline that helped me feel less out 'at sea' and provided an anchor to help ground you and reduce the sense of isolation and devastation that these experiences can bring. I made some connections with people in the support group and shared tips with one another of what helps. I am extremely grateful that this project exists and feel it is an absolutely essential service, especially as more and more people experiment with psychedelics. Thank-you so much to Jules and his team for all that they do to help and support!' - Clare
