An Internal Approach to Right Relationship

Videos and Manuals Provide Practical Tools

This course provides a self-reflective and self-compassionate approach to Right Relationship. This internal approach puts our focus on motivations, attiudes, and biases—those deep, not always conscious urges that precede our behaviors with clients. Self-inquiry complements the external, behavioral approach of traditional ethics education (the laws, codes, and standards that guide us behaviorally.) The videos provide instruction about four of the InnerEthics® Ethical Awareness Tools. These Tools are designed to assist practitioners with mindful self-inquiry and relalational reflection to navigate the challenges of serving clients who are doing intense and profound personal work.

Learning Objectives

What you take home will be the ability to:

  • List the two informational gaps in most Western traditional ethics education that are filled by an internal approach to ethical relationship.

  • Describe one ethical difference between therapy with a client in an ordinary state of consciousness and a client in an extra-ordinary (psychedelic) state of consciousness.

  • Utilize the Chart of Professional Vulnerabilities to Ethical Misconduct to identify one’s own motivations.

  • Describe an ethically precarious situation in professional/client interpersonal dynamics and explain why that situation needs particular mindfulness in psychedelic psychotherapy.

  • Explain why self-compassion is a pre-requisite for self-reflection.

  • Utilize the tool Protection, Permission and Connection in a therapeutic container to assess the presence and balance of these elements.

  • Utilize the tool ‘Who’s This For?’ to identify conflicts of interest between client and therapist.

  • efine “corrective experience.”

  • Explain the two main needs three black women therapists (Wiliiams, M. T. et. al.) identified as crucial when black women take MDMA.

  • List two ways to validate and normalize extra-ordinary state of consciousness experiences that seem strange to the client.

Reviews

From Previous Students:

“I have great appreciation for Kylea Taylor’s Ethics of Caring model, particularly the self-compassionate, curious stance it invites as we engage in self-reflection as practitioners working with clients in expanded states of consciousness. I was introduced to inner ethics during my Holotropic Breathwork facilitator training and look forward to revisiting it as a Spiritual Emergence Coach. Her model is a beautiful compliment to traditional ethics I learned in graduate school.”

Ariadne Patsiopoulos, Spiritual Emergence Coach®

“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

“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 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….”

Carmen Perez, MEXICO

“It [this InnerEthics® course] has given me a totally different perspective on how I view Ethics and how I see myself as a therapist...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.”
