Course Description

Ethical alertness as a professional practice.

Ethics 106 provides licensed mental health and healthcare professionals with an in-depth introduction to the InnerEthics approach to ethical awareness, ethical self-management, and peer consultation — with particular relevance for practitioners working in psychedelic-assisted therapy and other profound or non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Grounded in the peer consultation and group supervision literature, the course emphasizes ethical alertness, self-reflection, compassionate inquiry, and relational accountability, offering concrete tools for self-supervision, peer consultation, or formal supervision.

Particular attention is given to ethical vulnerabilities amplified in extraordinary states — including dual and multiple relationships, power differentials, boundary challenges, conflicts of interest, and truth-telling.

Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals, as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
