Jacob
For Jacob Trosen, facilitation is a promise and request, both working to unburden and reorient the client so they may become fully enveloped in the journey with both openness and confidence. The promise, he believes, is to work with clients’ intentions, fears, expectations, and goals to help contour an experience that best fits their needs. Whether that includes confronting problem habits or patterns in their behavior, addressing painful memories, or simply wanting to understand themselves, pull the lid off and jump inside more fully. The facilitator’s request is for the client to be honest, forthright, and frank about the desires, concerns, and challenges which piqued their interest in a journey with psilocybin. Second, the facilitator requests that we shelve our daily distractions, our responsibilities, and worries; to relax and become fully unmoored is required for the depth and richness that characterizes such a journey. For the past 8 years, Jacob has counselled, and helped individuals impacted by substance use disorders—as well as their attendant underlying, and social/economic challenges—work to rebuild their lives, reconnect with lost family and friends, and integrate back into healthy social and community roles. He is a Bolivian American dual citizen, who lives SE Portland, with his wife, American bulldog, and a small feline coterie. His favorite day hike is Ape Cave. Jacob received a master’s degree in literature focusing on experimental works which bridged the late Enlightenment and early Romantic and wrote his thesis on Sublimity and excess in William Beckford’s Vathek.
