Foundations of Effective Preparation: Preparing the Person (4 of 4), Series Finale

The series so far has looked at the therapy team: the container, the dyad, and the challenges that arise for practitioners during preparation. The final session turns to the person receiving the therapy, and the inner ground a client brings with them into a dosing session.

Lana Sciberras works through what it takes to genuinely ready someone for psychedelic-assisted therapy, beyond screening and logistics. Expect territory such as:

• Somatic awareness and readiness, and how a client's relationship with their own body shapes the work

• Mindset, and the difference between holding an intention and holding an expectation

• A process-oriented lens on how a person's own material begins to move during preparation

This is reflective, discussion-based group supervision rather than a lecture. If you have a de-identified case where a client's preparation has been the live question, bring it.

Lana is still shaping the session, and we will add the full description here as it firms up. The date, time and format are locked, so you are safe to register now.

Who should attend: PAT practitioners, trainees and clinicians involved in preparation work, including those in dyads and triads. Practitioners who have attended earlier sessions in the series are particularly welcome, and newcomers are welcome to join.

This session may be logged toward your continuing professional development.

This session is not recorded

AMAPP peer supervision sessions are not audio or video recorded. Nothing from this session is retained, replayed or shared afterwards, and no recording is made available to members or to attendees.

This is deliberate. Supervision only works if practitioners can bring real clinical difficulty into the room, and that requires confidence that what is said stays in the room. Please treat everything discussed as confidential, do not record any part of the session yourself, and de-identify any client material you bring.

You will find the Zoom link in your confirmation email.
