OR you can pay another speaker £4000 to go on a magic mushroom group retreat in the Bahamas, I know which I’d prefer if money were no object! #psychedelicSummit 5/5
Well the #PsychedelicSummit was fascinating. The last session was on healing trauma with ayahuasca in the Brazilian rainforest. The team is a mix of European/American psychiatrists and researchers and indigenous shamans. They’ve been working with veterans with PTSD who largely turn out to have 1/?
Taking a break to relax my brain before the final sessions of the #PsychedelicSummit, I’ve chosen to attend the one on ayahuasca and trauma which sounds very interesting but I need time out from watching zoom calls first
Psychedelic-assisted therapy shows promise in trials for addiction, eating disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, OCD, cluster headaches and treatment resistant depression #PsychedelicSummit
Remarkably, the positive effects in terms of reduced depression scores and improved wellbeing scores seem to be triggered from just one or two doses of psychedelic agent #PsychedelicSummit
Also important is “integration” of the trip experience with the therapist. There is evidence that increases in creativity and novel thinking occurs in the days *after* the trip #PsychedelicSummit
The key takeaway from both clinical studies and psychedelic-assisted therapists is the importance of what the academic literature calls “set and setting”. A safe, cosy environment, a safe trusted helper, music, dim light #PsychedelicSummit
Next up: psychedelics and mindfulness #PsychedelicSummit
Research involvement opportunity! The Psychedelic Unit at UCL is looking for heavy drinkers for a trial of treatment with DMT ("the spirit molecule"). It would involve going to their London lab. If you're interested go to www.psychedelicunit.com

Wow in the 50s you could be prescribed synthetic psilocybin, produced by the same company Albert Hoffman, discovered of LSD, worked for. Sadly a victim of The War on Drugs #PsychedelicSummit
