Trauma-Informed Psychedelic Support
Support For Psychedelic Journeys
Research shows that, used within the context of supportive counseling, psychedelics can have a remarkable effect on Post-Traumatic Stress response, Complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, addictions and more.
For many, psychedelic work can speed up the process of healing and make it less difficult. But it takes getting support from someone knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. My year-long training course with Psychedelics Today has given me the knowledge and personal encounters with psilocybin. My background as a trauma-informed therapist over the last 25 years has resulted in my ability to support you with a variety of tools within the context of compassion and lived experience.

Psilocybin Treatment for Major Depression Effective for Up to a Year for Most Patients, Study Shows
Previous studies by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers showed that psychedelic treatment with psilocybin relieved major depressive disorder symptoms in adults for up to a month. Now, in a follow-up study of those participants, the researchers report that the substantial antidepressant effects of psilocybin-assisted therapy, given with supportive psychotherapy, may last at least a year for some patients.
A report on the new study was published on Feb. 15, 2022, in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.
“Our findings add to evidence that, under carefully controlled conditions, this is a promising therapeutic approach that can lead to significant and durable improvements in depression,” says Natalie Gukasyan, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She cautions, however, that “the results we see are in a research setting and require quite a lot of preparation and structured support from trained clinicians and therapists, and people should not attempt to try it on their own.”

I think people automatically assume that if they’re exposed to trauma, they’re going to develop a mental health problem. We see it as sort of an insurmountable burden or barrier when in fact trauma is something that is survivable.
Ideally, therapists who really know how to work with trauma in an ordinary state can use those tools and techniques to help you do the work of pushing forward while you are in the state induced by MDMA, and really help you supercharge the psychotherapy.
