Today we are interview Emma Knighton (she/they), who is a somatic trauma therapist and psychedelic assisted therapist living and working in Seattle, WA. Emma specializes in working with folks with complex PTSD from childhood abandonment, neglect, and sexual abuse; she utilizes a variety of somatic trauma modalities, psychedelic integration work, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Emma’s work is grounded in queer theory and she takes an anti-oppression lens to trauma treatment. You can find Emma on her website at www.unitywithincounseling.com.
We talked about what psychedelic assisted therapy is, how it works, what it's recommended for (and not), and what is happening for the future of this treatment modality.
