Notes
Groff calls the use of LSD (a Connection Supplement) to facilitate psychological therapy Psycholytic Treatement. "I felt strongly that LSD-assisted analysis could deepen, intensify, and accelerate the therapeutic process..." [1]
As he further notes, "From the practical point of view, it seems that the confrontation of transpersonal levels of the unconscious might be a condition sine qua non for effective treatment of certain clinical conditions."[2]
Grof notes that Connection Therapy works by putting oneself in touch with one's own "healing intelligence" or "inner healer."[3] In LP terms, connection therapy works because it helps connect you to your powerful Spiritual Ego or some other location with thin Fabric of Consciousness
Connection therapies are not magic bullets. Our planet's socialization system is extremely toxic (see Toxic Socialization and the damage done to an individual's brain and Bodily Ego is profound. A Grof notes, several session are required to successfully process the full gamut of traumas created as a consequence of our violent and toxic system.[4]
