About Psilocybin Therapy
Research is currently exploring the potential advantages of psilocybin treatment in addressing mental health issues. This innovative approach combines the therapeutic properties of psilocybin, a psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, commonly known as “psychedelic mushrooms,” with crucial psychological support.
Psilocybin, the active component in these mushrooms, has garnered significant attention in its application as a treatment option, particularly for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. Pioneering academic institutions have initiated early investigations, revealing promising indications that psilocybin, when administered under the guidance of trained therapists, may offer a safe and efficacious remedy for patients dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, and various other mental health disorders.
What happens during psilocybin therapy?
NOTE TO CUSTOMERS: Our clinic has not officially opened yet, as psilocybin is still currently illegal. But when it is legalized, and we open our doors, this is what you’ll expect for psilocybin treatment.
Step 1: Initial Preparation
During the initial preparatory sessions, the therapist and the patient establish a rapport and build trust. This foundational relationship is crucial to ensure the patient feels supported and comfortable as they approach the psilocybin session.
Step 2: The Psilocybin Session
In the dedicated session room, the patient reclines on a comfortable bed. They are administered a dose of psilocybin in capsule form. Throughout the experience, patients immerse themselves in a carefully curated playlist of music and wear an eye mask, facilitating an inward focus. The psilocybin journey typically extends for a duration of 6 to 8 hours, with both a therapist and an assisting therapist present to provide guidance and support.
Step 3: Integration
Following the psilocybin session, patients are encouraged to engage in discussions about their experiences. The objective is for patients, with the guidance of their therapist, to derive their own insights and ideas from the experience, thereby enabling them to modify unhelpful emotional and behavioral patterns.
