That’s because research on psychedelics is changing the way that we view mental health treatment.
It will be useful to examine, in detail, the ways in which psilocybin therapy differs from conventional mental health treatments.
We will then turn to the various conditions that psilocybin therapy can treat — or may potentially be effective at treating.
The Power Of One Or Two Sessions With Psilocybin
Psilocybin therapy is effective after just one or two sessions with the psychedelic compound psilocybin.
The duration of the therapeutic session is 6-8 hours, so this requires pretty much the whole day.
Along with the experiences with psilocybin, this form of therapy involves psychotherapy as well. Therapists will be present during a psilocybin session.
Psilocybin Therapy’s Effectiveness Depends On The Experience
Studies have continued to reveal that the quality of the psilocybin experience is what drives its therapeutic benefits.
How Psilocybin Differs From Antidepressants
