As psychedelics expand our scope of therapy, so to do so we need our scope of ethics to expand. This course provides just that. Kylea, the presenter, draws on years of therapy experience to provide an insightful, well-planned, and effective tool for therapists to expand their understanding of the ethics needed for working with clients in extraordinary states of consciousness.

The presence of Kylea Taylor, permission to continue to dive deep into my own transpersonal transformational work and reflect on the professional vulnerabilities to ethical misconduct, and the concept of not doing during a participants experience. Doing by not doing is so important in non-ordinary states of consciousness and trusting the clients inner healing intelligence is guiding them and their psyche into the work that is just right for them at the time.
Nicole H., Psychedelic Integration Coach
I appreciated this take on professional ethics, and in particular the observation that traditional ethics has left out the therapist ‘s internal motivations, and any information about non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Greta L., Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
This was a very well designed course that taught a lot of information in a short time frame. I will watch it over again to gather more of the details. Highly recommend for other therapists and guides.

Kylea Taylor’s course is an excellent and important investment in one’s system. Any time is a good time to reflect and be reminded of the far-reaching and unmeasurable implications of this work. Interesting and concise.
Thersea J., Caretaker
A great reminder for anyone working in psychedelic medicine about personal bias and how it can appear in a therapeutic relationship. There is work to be done on oneself even when in a provider role with a client. This is particularly a useful course if you feel that you have moments of rupture in your client sessions even though ‘you know better’.

Kylea was very knowledgeable and masterful in her presentation. I appreciated her sharing examples of her own challenges, which served to humanize her and add more relevance to the content.
Jake K., Registered Nurse
Very engaging and informative training. Kylea’s expertise in the worlds of Holotropic Breathwork and psychedelics is evident in how the similarities and differences of these modalities are woven into this training. These are two worlds in which I walk and I am thankful for an expanded model of ethics that includes the traditional approach without condemning it. This training has made me eager to hear more about the Ethics of Caring.

I have found how important this topic is for me and its importance for my work…The relationship is part of the healing process. It is much more important than I could imagine. I will continue to explore this book and the tools with my classmates in hopes of avoiding some common pitfalls and exploring when I am in and out of the right relationship with myself and others in both my personal and professional life.
Jorge Arias, USA
It [this InnerEthics® course] has seeded deep and sweeping transformation not just of my professional parts and ways of being, but my entire system. In recognizing my own vulnerabilities and understanding how those vulnerabilities come to be and how they can cause harm, I have turned with gusto to addressing unmet needs that I had simply been letting be in an act of somewhat subconscious self-abnegation.
I’ve already been applying so much of what I’ve learned with clients. In particular, considering the Chart [Chart of Professional Vulnerabilities to Ethical Misconduct] to myself throughout the work, asking myself, “Who’s This For?” and considering the balance of Protection, Permission, and Connection.
Nicki Cowan, USA
I have now a different approach to Ethics, one that is more profound, more meaningful and that makes me feel excited. I really think it will be the foundation of my practice…. I got very excited when I realized you were going to be my teacher, I’m very grateful for it. Your classes were wonderful.
Carmen Perez, MEXICO
I will use this to maintain integrity while working with clients. This is a real ethics course and it was so meaningful.
Jorge Padron, CUBA
[I became] clearer about how to be the best therapist I can be and how the right relationship should be.
Tobias Klose, ICELAND
The course was better than any course I’ve taken in my graduate education by far. I would genuinely look forward to what I was going to learn each class.
Ramon Aleman, USA
It [this InnerEthics® course] has given me a totally different perspective on how I view Ethics and how I see myself as a therapist. This class has made me consciously look at my practice and I am already using the ‘Chart of Vulnerabilities to Unethical Behaviour’ and the C-DEEPEN tool with current clients, when necessary.
I have also opened up discussions with colleagues during peer group sessions and introduced some of the tools to them when ethical issues arise…. This course went way beyond what I imagined it to be. What I have learnt will stay with me forever and I know I will revisit the book and the learnings on a regular basis.
