Psilocybin Therapy, Start To Finish | Dr. JJ Pursell ~ ATTMind 210

This episode of the podcast is going to explore what actually happens inside psilocybin assisted therapy, from the first conversation to the last integration session. Specifically, we are going to be walking the entire arc of a legal psilocybin therapy engagement through the lens of naturopathic medicine: preparation, the session itself, integration, the risks, and how to tell whether any of it is right for you. Our guest is Dr. JJ Pursell.   What You'll Learn About: 🌿 What naturopathic medicine actually is, and how its root-cause approach differs from the conventional model 🍄 What psilocybin is, and what "psilocybin therapy" legally means in Oregon (which is far less than you'd expect) 🛋️ Inside a session: the service centre, the eye shades, the music, the waves, and what a facilitator is and is not there to do 🔄 Why she requires every client to commit to integration work before she'll agree to work with them at all 💧 What "alleviating suffering" really means, why it isn't the same as feeling good, and why the hardest material is usually the most useful ⚠️ The real risks: the bolt response, prolonged psychosis, cardiac contraindications, HPPD, and coming out the other side feeling worse 🚩 How to find a facilitator you can trust, the red flags to walk away from, and how to know when it's the wrong time entirely 🌀 Episode Show Notes and other Relevant Links   📚 Check out JJ's book Psilocybin Therapy: Understanding How to Use Nature's Psychedelics for Mental Health USA: https://bookshop.org/p/books/psilocybin-therapy-understanding-how-to-use-nature-s-psychedelics-for-mental-health-dr-jj-pursell/7796363e51a70603 CAD: https://www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781643262000/ 🩺 Dr. Pursell's website: https://drjjpursell.com 🤝 Follow JJ: Instagram | YouTube | LinkedIn | Facebook   🍄 This episode is sponsored by Amentara.
