This assignment will evaluate the following module-level learning outcomes:
Describe the unique vulnerabilities of clients participating in psychedelic-assisted therapy and cultivate the awareness and practices necessary to meet these vulnerabilities safely and ethically.
Apply and demonstrate relevant therapist competencies, skills, and orientations (including the Numinus care model) at an introductory level for the purposes of delivering psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Describe the Numinus guiding principles within the context of integrative and transformative mental wellness as they relate to psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Apply facilitation skills specific to psychedelic-assisted therapy during Preparation Sessions, Medicine Sessions, and Integration Sessions.
Identify and respond to burnout, vicarious trauma, transference, and countertransference experienced by the therapist.
During the first week, connect with the members in your group and agree on a time to meet each week for at least 30 minutes.
In each Module's pre-work, there is a Module Overview page which gives detailed instructions on activities to practice with your group.
After each practice group session, write down some brief notes about the activities you covered and any key takeaways, reactions, or questions. This is your practice group log. You can each individually keep a log or write one together. There is no word count requirement.
After Week 8, submit your notes for evaluation as evidence that you participated in the weekly practice groups.
You must each individually subimt your practice log on Numi-U, however you can all submit the same version of the document if you are in the same group.
You will be graded on the following criteria:
Completeness (did you follow all instructions?)
Evidence of group work and application (is there evidence that you participated in the practice groups each week?)
