For decades Kylea Taylor has been directing people's attention to the ways in which holding space for a psychedelic session requires close attention to the ethics of caring. It is essential that anyone who works with clients using psychedelics understand the unique ethical concerns that arise in these sessions. Transference, counter-transference, inflation, power, sex, money and much more will arise with great intensity in a psychedelic session.
Kylea and Selene Vega clearly articulate the core ethical concerns when sitting for others in expanded states of consciousness.
