We are entering a psychedelic renaissance with psychedelic therapy trials showing promising results and the shift in cultural opinions following the release of Michael Pollan’s book, How to Change Your Mind in 2018. There are still many questions that mental health care providers have about psychedelics: Can psychedelics cause psychosis? If an individual has an underlying mental illness will psychedelics exacerbate the issue? How promising are psychedelics for treating mental health conditions? What to expect from different psychedelic medicines and what’s currently available legally for treating mental health conditions? What spiritual experiences can be garnered from using psychedelics and can they be integrated properly? In today’s episode, we delve into psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and explore these questions that are on many providers’ minds.
