Experience Enhances Understanding

PTSD therapy training programs require significant investment, often ranging from $10,000 to $12,000 for year-long courses that include hands-on experiences. Notable programs include a nine-month psychedelic certificate offered by Naropa University in collaboration with MAPS, known for conducting trials with experienced clinicians. Alternative short-term training options focus on intensive learning experiences over four to five days. The field benefits from a structured framework as it recognizes the value of therapists undergoing therapy themselves to deepen their understanding of their clients' experiences.
