DCPJLA Life Planner and Journal

Pillar Three

Preparing for the End of Life — With Clinical Support

Death is the most intimate event any of us will face — and most people arrive at it without ever having explored what dying means to them, what they want it to look like, or what they need to say before it happens.

As the only clinician at this practice holding dual certification in both Somatic Experiencing (SEP) and psychedelic-assisted therapy (CPTAP), Joseph W. LaFleur Jr. brings a clinical perspective uniquely suited to this work — integrating body-based trauma processing with the existential and mortality-related material that surfaces in psychedelic experiences, including Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray and sublingual ketamine troches.

Our End-of-Life Planner and Journal is a clinically informed resource designed to support clients in exploring their values, documenting their wishes, processing their relationship to mortality through somatic and psychoanalytic frameworks, and anchoring psychedelic integration work in practical, relational action.

This is not a checklist. It is a therapeutic companion — built for people who want to approach the end of life with the same depth, intentionality, and care they bring to living.

Somatic reflection prompts grounded in body-based awareness of mortality
Values clarification rooted in felt sense, not abstraction
Structured space for letters, legacy work, and relational repair
Comprehensive accounts and access documentation for survivors
Psychedelic integration section for clients working with ketamine-assisted therapy
Designed to extend the therapeutic process between sessions
