Psychedelic therapy is an umbrella term for guided work with psychedelics in therapeutic, coaching, ceremonial, or integrative contexts. The term alone does not specify the method, dose, facilitator, or whether it is a medical treatment, psychotherapy, coaching, or experiential guidance.
Forms can include microdosing with support, group sessions with facilitation, psycholytic work using low to moderate doses, high-dose sessions combined with psychotherapy in a medical setting, and private high-dose experiences with a therapist or guide in a non-medical, coaching context.
Psychedelic therapy is not the same as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, which is a specific model where psychotherapy is central and the psychedelic supports that process. It also differs from Triptherapie the company and the triptherapie method, a holistic approach that emphasizes preparation, set and setting, body awareness, music, skilled guidance, and integration tailored to the person; for details, see Triptherapie.
In short, psychedelic therapy is a broad label for guided use of psychedelics within a careful process focused on preparation, safety, and integration. I hope this helps.
