About this listen

A comprehensive framework for ethical psychedelic medicine—a guide for therapists, trip sitters, and anyone concerned about upholding boundaries and safety in the entheogen and plant medicine community

Psychedelic advisor Rebecca Martinez lays out the groundwork for an ethical approach to 21st-century psychedelic therapy. Applying a social-justice lens to entheogenic practice, Martinez provides practical guidance for psychedelic sitters, advocates, explorers, and those practicing (or learning to practice) licensed psychedelic therapy.

As psychedelics become a more accessible pathway to healing, how do practitioners—and seekers—navigate complex issues in a wide range of settings? Here, you’ll learn skills like:

  • Understanding consent and boundaries
  • Building safe and ethical psychedelic experiences
  • How to integrate the cultural and historical contexts of plant medicines
  • Considering the psychological risks and benefits of psychedelic therapy
  • How to apply a social-justice lens to entheogenic healing

Martinez also discusses how, in many corners of the psychedelic community, an overemphasis on positivity can overwhelm attempts to challenge abuses of power; dismantle internalized hierarchies; and acknowledge and integrate our own flaws and traumas.

An essential guide for any psychedelic therapist, entheogenic guide, or mind-expanding medicine enthusiast, Whole Medicine brings much-needed conversations about ethics, boundaries, and informed use out of the shadows for better, safer, community-centered psychedelic healing.

Critic reviews

"The psychedelic landscape is quickly evolving. Ms. Martinez provides much needed ethical guidance for both psychedelic facilitators and the folks who want to use them, and she does it with grace and compassion. It's my hope people in the field will consider the careful recommendations in Whole Medicine. They couldn't be more timely."—Eugenia Bone, author of Mycophilia and Microbia

"Whole Medicine covers the whole relational landscape of therapeutic plant medicines and psychedelics. Rebecca uncovers and beautifully describes the ethos and interrelationships that sustain and balance this ecosystem below its surface.... The book is an amazingly comprehensive guide to ethical participation in this field, for whatever role you play within it."—Kylea Taylor, author of The Ethics of Caring

"...an important contribution to the psychedelic landscape at a pivotal time.... A must-read for anyone pursuing the psychedelic path that examines all aspects of living a psychedelic life with integrity—without ignoring the challenges the burgeoning new industry and grassroots community face—all told in a compassionate and thought-provoking way."—Michelle Janikian, author of Your Psilocybin Mushroom Companion
