Unpacking the Unexamined Harms of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: Part 1 The Natural Intelligence Podcast

This episode is the first part of a series of conversations prompted by the recent Cover Story, Power Trip podcast episodes exploring the MDMA-Assisted therapy trials by MAPS and the stories of participants who went through severe negative experiences that were previously not publicly known or acknowledged. We use this as a launch point for a conversation where we talk about things like the mechanisms of psychological harm, the role of psychedelics in a therapeutic process, the role of therapists or guides, the placebo effect and psychological diagnoses, and the danger of the enhanced placebo effect in psychological interventions. More show notes here.
