Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy with Psilocybin
What is Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy with Psilocybin?
Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy with Psilocybin involves the use of psilocybin, a natural psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, as part of a structured therapeutic process. Psilocybin induces altered states of consciousness, promoting deep introspection and emotional breakthroughs. When combined with psychotherapy, this approach may help individuals address the root causes of their mental health challenges to promote personal growth.
Is Psilocybin Right for Me?
Each case is carefully evaluated, and psilocybin-assisted therapy is permitted only through a specific application process. Psilocybin-assisted therapy may be considered for individuals facing:
Depression
Particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression.
Anxiety Disorders
Reduces symptoms of generalized anxiety and existential distress, including anxiety associated with terminal illness.
PTSD
Facilitates the processing and release of traumatic memories.
Addiction
Helps individuals address substance use disorders, including alcohol and nicotine dependence.
How Does Psilocybin Work?
Psilocybin activates serotonin receptors in the brain, creating a state of enhanced connectivity and neuroplasticity. In this altered state, individuals often experience a sense of unity, emotional release, and profound insights into their lives.
Why Psilocybin?
Emerging evidence from peer-reviewed research suggests that psilocybin, when combined with professional therapeutic support, may support:
Emotional breakthroughs
Increased cognitive flexibility
Reduction in symptoms related to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and end-of-life distress
