The future of trauma treatment is psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.  The field of mental health treatment has seen a resurgence of interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy over the past few years, with promising research emerging on the use of substances like psilocybin and MDMA in the treatment of various mental health disorders.

  • Explore the therapeutic process and principles of psychedelic-assisted therapy, including set and setting, integration, and ethical considerations.
