Kyle Buller and Joe Moore - Exploring Psychedelic Integration and Coaching
In this episode, Kyle and Joe sit down to explore psychedelic integration. They cover different frameworks, resources and benefits of integration and coaching services.
3 Key Points:- Integration is commonly confused as post-session only, but it includes pre-session, self care, and really begins at the point you decide to engage in self-work.
- It is important to remember the GPA framework when determining where you are at in the integration process, G - grounding, P - processing, A - action.
- Psychedelics Today offers many resources to assist with the integration process; Navigating Psychedelics Online Course (and Live Course), Coaching and Integration Calls, and books, Trip Journal and Integration Workbook.

- Kyle and Joe will not be offering any major workshops until spring.
- They will be attending a conference in Exeter UK - Psychedelics and Philosophy
- Kyle says his near death experience shows up in his life everyday
- Integration is not only post session, it is also pre-session
- Integration, at its root means bringing parts together into wholeness
- Joe says you don't need support to do integration, although it is helpful
- Kyle's analogy of a psychedelic experience as a big hallway with a lot of doors, and a ton of magical stuff, even scary monsters, are coming through the doors and wandering through the halls
- The goal is to realize and say “this is a part of me” and learn to be okay with all of the stuff in the hall
- Self care works until it doesn't, and that is when integration comes in
- Kyle uses a framework and asks, what is your GPA?
- G - grounding, post session, how are we getting re-connected to ourselves?
- P - processing, once energy feels stable and centered, how can we process the material? It could mean journaling, therapy, body or somatic work, breathwork, yoga, etc.
- A - action, moving it forward, breaking the leanings down into goals of things to work on
- Kyle says that these things do not need to be done in order necessarily, but its a good framework to check in after an experience and see where you're at
- Joe reminds listeners of 'pre-hab', that preparation can make a world of a difference and weigh a lot more than post work in a lot of cases
- “Life is integration, call your mom, pay your rent.” - Joe
- Joe mentions the quote that “the opposite of addiction is connection”
- Climate change can bring up a lot of existential dread, the connection piece, and other topics can be addressed with psychedelic integration
- The Psychedelics Today, Navigating Psychedelics Course is a great way to learn more about integration
- We offer two books, the Trip Journal and the

Kyle and Joe - Q&A: The Many Uses of Psychedelics
In this episode, Kyle and Joe sit down to cover questions from listeners of the show. They discuss topics that include psychedelic use for exorcisms, cluster headaches, athletic performance, processing grief and more.
3 Key Points:- There are a few examples where psychedelics are used to increase athletic performance. Psychedelics can also be used to help realign those who are using sports as a form of distraction from internalized issues.
- When eliminating variables for psilocybin consistency in mushrooms for therapeutic use, freeze drying helps. But there are so many variables in mushrooms versus synthesized psilocybin.
- When addressing the sustainability of the Toad, according to the data, there isn't a real difference between 5-MEO-DMT from a toad and synthesized 5-MEO-DMT

- Joe brings up an issue that was brought up to him by a physician from the Wholeness Center, Dr. Craig Heacock, out of Fort Collins, CO
- Dr. Heacock warns about Kratom
- It is safer than opioids, but it can be physically addictive and getting off of it can be horrible
- Kratom withdrawal closely imitates opioid withdrawal
- The receptor site activity is the same as opioid pills
- Kyle thinks of shamanic uses for plant medicines, and with the idea of purging and spiritual emergence, working in non-ordinary states can exacerbate these states and maybe help with this kind of work
- Joe and Kyle go into writings from Stan Grof, explaining the physical appearance of those going through LSD psychotherapy or breathwork, and how it assimilates to an ‘exorcism’ of releasing the bad
- The purging during a psychedelic experience may feel evil, or alien
- Joe and Kyle say, do not perform an exorcism, leave it to the trained people
- Cluster Busters is an organization for the research on cluster headaches
- LSD works for some as well as oxygen treatments work for others
- We know a lot more about migraines than cluster headaches
- The migraine is where neurons in the brain start misfiring and create a firing storm
- Joe says the practical solution is to have a really large amount of psilocybe cubensis, all blended up, and then split in even doses
- There are potency differences between species, strains, etc
- There are so many variances with mushrooms versus synthetic psilocybin
- Freeze drying also promotes close to 0% loss of psilocybin when drying mushrooms
- There may be psychological blocks that are getting in the way of a person reaching the peak performance of their genome
- It could be trauma, or psychological blocks
- Athletic performance could be a distraction from what you're really here to do
- Athletes have a lot of dysfunctional behavior
- Psychedelics may show us our bad behavior and help us align
- Kyle says he had this passion to snowboard and dedicate his life to snowboarding, and then he received a message in journeywork that told him snowboarding is simply a hobby and he needs to focus his life on other things
- “Sports are a great way to cover up our emotions” - Joe
- Kyle mentions tow other episodes that cover similar topics
