“How Psychedelics Reduce Death Anxiety: And Other T(r)ips”

This 90-minute session is available for 1.5 CEUs through the Continuing Education Institute of Illinois. It’s also a great session for caregivers, patients, and curious participants. Purchase the session and then I’ll be in touch to schedule it at a convenient time for you! Each session also includes an “Ask a Doula” Q&A at the end where I’ll answer all your questions.

Do you want to be less afraid of death? As an experienced trip sitter, doula, and teacher, I’ll show you how psychedelics help people reduce fears and anxiety over death in many different ways. We will discuss several types of psychedelics and plant medicine, what the studies show, and other ways to reduce emotional and spiritual suffering at the end of life.

Upon completion of this program, you will:

∙ Understand the three main categories of end-of-life anxiety.

∙ Identify how spiritual suffering differs from emotional and physical suffering.

∙ Recognize the ways to reduce those fears that do and do not include psychedelics/plant medicine.

∙ Identify the studies that show conclusively that psychedelics reduce end-of-life fears and anxiety.

∙ Recognize the ways that access to psychedelics is changing, as they become rescheduled and decriminalized throughout the country, and how death doulas, therapists, and others work together to support clients in addressing fears and reducing them with this powerful medicine.
