transpersonal

“Holotropic breathwork provides access to biographical, perinatal and transpersonal domains of the unconscious and thus to deep psychospiritual roots of emotional and psychosomatic disorder,” the Grofs wrote in their 2010 book on the technique.

When considered in this context, it’s astonishing that Lykos is requesting that the FDA for the first time approve a psychotherapy process alongside a drug and asserting that the treatment is rooted in “transpersonal, spiritual teachings.”

Every provider offering MDMA-AT would be taught the transpersonal, spiritual framework offered by Grof that psychedelics are a catalyst for “inner healing intelligence” and that “focused bodywork” and “nurturing touch” can be instrumental in healing even when the patient is distressed by it.

“Psychedelics are remarkable for their potential to elicit non-ordinary states of consciousness and ability to facilitate healing through experiences of profound transpersonal and mystical states,” said Barbara Chandler, a therapist and ketamine-assisted psychotherapist based in Truckee.

It’s about data that is personal yet transpersonal.
