    • Acknowledgment 
    • Psychedelic preparation and engagement coaching focus on exploring intention along with values clarification before a psychedelic experience. True Azimuth Coaching does not offer guided psychedelic experiences. True Azimuth Coaching does not offer referrals to private providers who offer guided psychedelic experiences. True Azimuth Coaching does not assist clients in finding or obtaining illegal substances.

      Psychedelic integration coaching focuses on exploring insight and awareness after a psychedelic experience. True Azimuth Coaching adheres to a harm reduction philosophy around substance use. True Azimuth Coaching does not encourage engagement in illegal activities, including the purchase and consumption of illegal substances.

      While psychedelics can help a person interested in exploring their inner world and their perceptual relationship to the outer world, psychedelics can also be a source of disorientation, delusion, confusion, and psychological destabilization for those unfit, unequipped, or unprepared for such powerful experiences.

      Psychedelic substances can cause long-lasting changes to personality and cognition. Individuals can also have undiagnosed genetic, developmental, neurological, endocrinological, or traumatic conditions that negatively interact with the psychedelic chemical and experience.

      Due to the nature of the psychedelic experience, some individuals must not use psychedelics.
