Introduction To Assisted Psychedelic Therapy

INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED THERAPY

Psychedelic-assisted therapy uses a combination of psychotherapy and the controlled and supervised administration of psychedelic substances. It treats disorders such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and other ailments resulting from an individualistic and crisis-ridden society.

This course is designed to provide a general introduction to psychedelic-assisted therapy, its theoretical and practical foundations, as well as the risks and benefits associated with the use of these substances in the therapeutic context. It is relevant to anyone interested in the field and no previous experience in therapy or psychedelics is required.

Research on psychedelic-assisted therapy has grown significantly in recent decades, especially in the context of the renaissance of psychedelic research in medicine. Advances in research indicate that they will soon be available for healing in therapeutic settings. When we speak of psychedelic substances we refer to both master plants and synthetic ones such as MDMA, Lsd, ketamine.
