We are in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance exploring transformational healing with different tools. Western psychopharmacology has developed to reduce symptomatology— as we minimize and mask symptoms we become less connected from the messages the symptoms are trying to share with us. Our progress driven society encourages striving for peak performance-but at what cost? It seems we have lost our sense of connection to culture, to body, to nature and our own innate healing wisdom.
The art and science of psychedelic healing is being integrated into our current mental health system through the use of psychotherapy and integration with MDMA, Ketamine, psilocybin. The most prominently researched diagnoses that have been addressed are PTSD, addiction, major depressive disorder and reactive anxiety in late stage cancer diagnosis.
This new model encourages individuals to address core issues with the aid and support of skilled psychedelic therapists to metabolize and realign.
Psychedelic treatment is a delicate tool, it is not right for every client and needs to be handled with care. Psychedelics are non-specific amplifiers and may amplify symptoms, whilst this creates an opportunity to explore healing we must remain vigilant to the safety of the container of these medication are used in.
I am feeling excited and optimistic about the integration of these new modalities and we at Home-LA are committed to safely integrating these healing opportunities with individualized care and creativity. XO Eva
