Psychedelic therapy is not a one-time quick-fix event. It is a process.
Psychedelic therapy can be a powerful step in a person’s recovery and therapeutic process. It is only one step. It should never be the first step.
Anyone considering psychedelic therapy should be in therapy with an experienced trauma psychologist for some time before exploring this option. It is ideal to reduce trauma symptoms through traditional evidence-based therapies first and foremost. Psychedelic therapies can be effective at helping people work through blocks in trauma healing, and affording a deeper healing experience than traditional talk therapies alone can provide. Integration after the experience is also very important and a key part of the healing process.
