A guide to creating safe, inclusive psychedelic spaces for neurodivergent adults. For autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people, traditional psychedelic approaches can miss vital needs. Sensory sensitivities, communication differences, and pacing preferences may leave clients feeling unsafe or unseen. Neurodivergent Psychedelic Healing: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Facilitation provides practical tools and perspectives to support the full spectrum of neurodiversity. Licensed professional counselor James Reling, a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner with extensive experience in neurodivergent care, blends trauma-informed principles, somatic psychotherapy, and a neurodiversity-affirming lens. This book covers the 'why' and 'how' of adapting psychedelic facilitation so clients can engage in ways that feel safe and empowering. Inside are strategies for sensory and communication accommodations, informed consent, pacing, trust-building, and group work, along with case studies from real practice. For therapists, ceremonial space-holders, underground guides, and curious learners, it offers an adaptive, relationship-centered approach that benefits all clients.
