This is a complex and nuanced conversation that touches on various aspects of mental health, consciousness, and the potential for psychedelics to facilitate profound personal growth and understanding about who we are and the nature of reality. We touched on what conditions or mental health issues can be treated with psychedelic-assisted therapy, if psychedelic-assisted therapy is safe, and if there are any potential risks. How is a psychedelic therapy session conducted? And what can someone expect from start to finish? What are the differences between the various substances used, such as psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine.
