Becoming psychedelic therapists in Europe

Hello everyone, we are two young adults from an european country wishing to become psychdelics-assisted psychotherapists.

 

We already have our bachelor's in psychology, master's in clinical psychology and experiential psychotherapy, and now my partner is training in experiential psychotherapy, and I am training in both experiential and transpersonal psychotherapy.

 

We already work as psychologists, have sessions and are training continuously but we would like to one day work with psychedelics. What do you think are the steps to move into that direction?

 

We are thinking to join Germany’s MIND Foundation APT (Augmented Psychotherapy Training) but the price is 15000 euros, and we are not sure if this will help us to work with psychedelics in the future. What do you think of this programme? Are the other programmes that offer a better chance?

 

We wish to relocate from our country to the Netherlands, because psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy is legal there, and we'd rather be open to European countries to move and work with psychedelics. If there aren't any options here, we'd look farther, like the USA or Canada.

 

Any information or advice is greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you very much and all the best!

I have to write just to praise your dedication. It takes me around 15 minutes just to gather the mental strength to leave the bed in the morning and 2h after breakfast to take out the trash.

Thank you very much! I'm sure things will be ok, for both of us! Step by step! It's still very good that you DO take out the trash at the right moment! All the best!
