The Art of Introspection

PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION

Preparation & Coaching

Growing up in a family where ancient teachings and wisdom played an integral part in our daily conversations, I couldn’t help but become captivated by those teachings.

When I was 12 years old, I stumbled upon a book in my mother’s library that told the story of a metaphysical journey home. That marked the beginning of my personal voyage into the world of mysticism, a journey that fueled my curiosity to delve deeper into this enigmatic realm. It has never ceased to inspire me to explore the inner and outer worlds openly and curiously, transcending time and space.

My initial encounter with plant medicines began in 2004. Later in my life, as I faced a challenging period, Ayahuasca started to enter my consciousness. In 2017, I participated in my first ceremony, and as I gained more exposure to psychedelics, I realized that using them in therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

To truly appreciate the benefits of this intense, overwhelming, and challenging experience, I needed deep integration. After my first experience, I felt isolated, as only a few people shared this journey. That’s why I believe it’s essential to find ways to integrate the thoughts, feelings, and experiences you have while on psychedelics into your daily life.

  • Enhanced Self-Awareness: Psychedelic integration can lead to a heightened understanding of one’s thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns. By assimilating the insights gained from a psychedelic experience into daily life, individuals can achieve a deeper sense of self-awareness and personal growth.
  • Improved Mental Health: Proper integration of psychedelic experiences can help individuals address underlying mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. By processing and integrating the profound realizations from these experiences, individuals can find new ways to cope with and potentially overcome these challenges.

  • Strengthened Relationships: Psychedelic integration can foster better communication and empathy, allowing individuals to forge stronger connections with friends, family, and partners. By gaining a deeper understanding of oneself, people can become more compassionate and supportive in their relationships, leading to more meaningful and fulfilling connections.

  • Increased Creativity and Problem-Solving Skills: Integrating psychedelic experiences can unlock new perspectives, leading to enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities. By tapping into the insights gained during a psychedelic journey, individuals can approach challenges with fresh ideas and innovative solutions, both personally and professionally.

  • Long-lasting Personal Growth: With proper integration, the positive effects of a psychedelic experience can extend far beyond the initial journey. By continuously incorporating the lessons and insights from these experiences into daily life, individuals can enjoy sustained personal growth and an ongoing sense of well-being.

A psychedelic integration session is a supportive and guided conversation between an individual and a trained facilitator, often a therapist or counselor with experience in psychedelic integration. The objective of these sessions is to help the individual process, understand, and apply the insights and experiences gained during a psychedelic journey to their everyday life.

During the session, the facilitator will encourage the individual to share their psychedelic experiences, thoughts, emotions, and realizations. By exploring these aspects, the facilitator can help identify themes and patterns, offering guidance on how to integrate these insights into daily routines and personal growth.

The conversation may delve into areas such as mental health, relationships, creativity, or spiritual growth, depending on the individual’s unique experiences and needs. The facilitator will also provide a safe and non-judgmental space for the individual to express any challenges or difficulties faced during or after the psychedelic journey.

In addition, the facilitator may offer practical tools and techniques, such as journaling, meditation, or breathwork, to help the individual effectively integrate their psychedelic experiences. Each integration session is tailored to the person’s needs, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to assimilating the lessons from their journey into their daily lives.

I experienced Sedef's sound healing session and ecstatic dance in Mallorca this past September at Malva's retreat, it was absolutely mind blowing! The music she chose made me feel in flow and full of life, then through her sound healing, I felt relaxed, and so deeply connected to myself that I could envision with clarity what my soul was really wanting me to hear.. Her voice is delightful, feminine and delicate, angel-like sound. The mix of the beats, live instruments she played and her vocals, made the experience so memorable and exquisite. I am so grateful I had the chance to be there and meet this amazing woman. Lots of love Sedef, you are so talented and a beautiful human being.

I was totally lost, having no motivation and desire to do in life and was struggling to find my way to get out off this turmoil. So, my expectation from coaching was to have someone guide me and help me genuinely how to overcome this difficult situation I was facing.Thanks to Sedef, I gained the courage to confront with any difficult unpleasant feelings/ thoughts in my life. I am no longer escaping from them. On the contrary, I am trying to dig them more while accepting and not judging myself about my feelings and thoughts.Thanks to her, I started to make steps to allow myself who I want to be in my life which gave me a complete feeling of freedom.I have become a better version of me 🙂 I am so grateful to meet her…

Sedef is a perceptive and intuitive person who clearly takes pleasure in helping others find their path and connect to their better selves.She has a range of ways of working and seems to manage to uncover truths that were hidden in plain sight with great skill.She balances accountability with a flexible approach that adopts to the changing needs of the client.I also found her guided meditations, which she sometimes used in the sessions, to be very pleasant and useful - partly because she has a very calm manner and relaxing voice.

I had a chance to work with Sedef during my PQ Intensive Training. She has a very up lifting energy and her guidance allowed me to understand how to be more volnurable and open minded through the training. I'm so grateful that our paths acrossed and can't wait to join her incredible sound bath sessions to see her and hear her lovely voice again.

I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that I am forever grateful for the journey we went through. I’m so happy that I had the opportunity to work with you. The safe and caring space you held made it “easy” for me to be with whatever came up in our sessions. The way you made me feel like we were together in this, created the perfect container, where I felt safe to reveal and let go of the layers that hold me back, and to take a deeper look at what really wants to happen.Thank you, Sedef!

I did the positive intelligence, 12 weeks « mental gym workout ». This programme offered me practical and realistic tools to help me understand my behaviour and reduce my anxiety level. Having the support and guidance from Sedef was essential to help me, in making the most out of this experience. Her professional approach as a coach allowed me to better identify and confront my own thought patterns through the lens of the positive intelligence framework.

Sedef is a very skilled and compassionate coach. I spent many years listening to the negative thoughts in my mind and felt stressed and overwhelmed. This year I have been doing an intensive PQ prom with Sedef and she taught me to have a more positive approach to situations. Multiple friends and acquaintances have commented on my more peaceful presence now. Thank you, Sedef!
