Integration Is the Riskiest Phase (Most Practitioners Don’t Know Why)

Integration Is the Riskiest
Phase
(Most Practitioners
Don’t Know Why)

Your client leaves the psychedelic session feeling expansive and grateful. They thank you and tell you it was life-changing.

Two weeks later, they’re having trouble sleeping, old patterns are re-consolidating, and their nervous system is destabilizing… But none of this comes up during your check-in call. You end the container thinking you just facilitated a success story.

This is the Integration Gap. And most practitioners don’t catch it until real damage is done.

Join Dr. David Rabin and Paul F. Austin to learn the clinical framework that closes this gap (before your clients fall through it).

The Clinical Blind Spot in Post-Session Care

When Dr. Rabin began his psychedelic research 15 years ago, he held a common expectation: the peak of a high-dose journey is when things are most likely to go sideways.

But over the years, a different pattern kept emerging. The clients with the worst long-term outcomes didn’t always have hard journeys. Instead, they started to unravel, often quietly, in the days and weeks afterwards.

Dr. Rabin and Paul Austin realized that the brain stays in a state of heightened neuroplasticity after a psychedelic journey. This biological openness makes deep healing possible, and it also leaves the nervous system wide open to destabilization.

Most practitioners (including many integration coaches) don’t have a science-backed protocol for managing that window. During this free live training, Dave and Paul will teach you theirs.

What You'll Learn:

The Biology Most Protocols Skip: Why pre-journey preparation is the most overlooked factor
in client safety.
3-Phase Architecture: Dr. Rabin’s clinical framework for preventing post-session dysregulation, from preparation through the first 30 days of integration.
Navigating Peak Intensity: How to keep a client within their window of tolerance during the hardest moments of a session.
Stabilizing vs. Unraveling: The specific milestones that tell you whether a client is actually integrating (or quietly losing their footing).
A New Foundation for Safety: How to rebuild your approach to risk management from the ground up, so that client outcomes become consistent and predictable.
A Walkthrough of the 3-Phase Architecture: A deep dive into the framework built by Dave to specifically solve the problem of post-session dysregulation.

The Biology Most Protocols Skip: Why the physical preparation you do before the journey is the most overlooked factor in client safety.
Navigating Peak Intensity: Understanding the neurobiology of the most intense moments of a session and how to keep a client within their window of tolerance.
Stabilizing vs. Unraveling: How to identify the specific integration milestones that tell you if a client is actually healing or quietly losing their balance.
A New Foundation for Safety: How to shift your entire approach to risk management from the ground up to ensure predictable, safe outcomes.

Perfect For:

Perfect For:

Medical Professionals:You want evidence-based safety protocols that meet the standard of care your patients and your license demand.
Therapists & Counselors: You’re integrating psychedelic work into your practice and need a clinical framework, not just conversational check-ins.
Psychedelic Practitioners: You’re ready to move beyond intuition and intention-setting toward a structured, science-backed approach to facilitation.
Integration Coaches: You want to ground your work in neuroscience so you can track real outcomes (not just hold space and hope).

This Training Is For:

Perfect For:

Therapists & Clinicians: Professionals integrating psychedelic work who require evidence-based safety tools to protect their patients and their license.
Facilitators & Guides: Practitioners moving beyond intuition and intention-setting toward a clinical framework for preparation and session support.
Performance Coaches: Those working with high-performing clients where standard protocols often lead to shallow results or outright resistance.
New Practitioners: Anyone entering the field who wants to build a professional practice rooted in neuroscience from the very start.

Special Guest: Dr. David Rabin

Dr. David Rabin is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience. He has spent over 15 years studying the impact of chronic stress on mental and physical health, with a clinical focus on treatment-resistant PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.

His research at the University of Pittsburgh led to the development of Apollo, the first scientifically validated wearable technology shown to improve HRV and reduce adverse experiences in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

In addition to being trained in ketamine and MDMA-assisted therapy, Dr. Rabin is the Executive Director of The Board of Medicine and a faculty member at the Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

ABOUT US

Why Learn From the Psychedelic Coaching Institute?

Now the gold standard in professional psychedelic training, we have taught hundreds of practitioners to master the skill of psychedelics since 2021.


Founder Paul F. Austin recognized a critical gap: more and more well-meaning people were interested in becoming practitioners, but few had the education, hands-on training, ethical clarity, and marketability to become credible and make a positive impact.

The Psychedelic Coaching Institute came into existence to close this gap by training the next generation of psychedelic leaders. We grew from our sister company, Third Wave, which has been a trusted resource for psychedelic education for 10+ years.


Today, we blend science, spirit, and skill to give our certified practitioners a comprehensive toolkit for preparation, facilitation, and integration. Paul’s expertise in intentional microdosing, in particular, guides many of our core methodologies.

We offer two flagship programs:


Rooted in a nervous system-first approach and equipped with entrepreneurial gusto, Psychedelic Coaching Institute practitioners are defining the future of this third wave of psychedelics.
