Are you a therapist considering adding psychedelic therapies to your work with clients? You probably have questions about ethical and legal considerations, training, clinical approaches, navigating challenges, etc. When entering into a new area of your discipline, consultation and training are essential.

Scientific research has proven that humans store memories and emotions on a cellular level, leading to lasting impacts from traumatic experiences. Non-traditional approaches to healing, such as somatic therapies, focus on the mind-body connection and offer new avenues for trauma recovery. Techniques like trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, therapeutic gardening, and aromatherapy provide survivors with tools to reconnect with their bodies and minds. These practices aim to alleviate stress, regulate emotions, and promote overall wellness by engaging both the physical and mental aspects of healing. Learn more, https://ow.ly/70aj50Ra4Ka.

Dacher Keltner, a psychologist known for his research on emotions, particularly awe, suggests that awe can profoundly impact mental wellness by fostering a sense of connection, humility, and inspiration. He posits that psychedelics can elicit powerful experiences of awe, which in turn can enhance mental health by reducing stress, increasing well-being, and promoting prosocial behavior. Keltner emphasizes the potential of psychedelics to open individuals to transcendent experiences that contribute to a greater sense of meaning and psychological resilience. https://lnkd.in/enKQrtrF.

In this 5-part video series, we hear Gus Alva's perspective on MDMA therapy for PTSD. He is an MD, a psychiatrist and medical director of ATP Clinical Research, The five videos include: ✅ Current Options and Unmet Needs in PTSD: Highlighting the limitations of existing treatments and the significant gap that MDMA could fill. ✅  Interpreting Trial Data: Discussing the promising results from recent trials and addressing criticisms regarding study designs. ✅  Addressing Stigma: Tackling the misconceptions and stigma surrounding MDMA and other psychedelic therapies. ✅  Prospect of Psychedelic Therapies: Exploring the potential future applications of psychedelic treatments in psychiatric care. ✅  Future Research Priorities: Outlining the next steps for research to further validate and understand MDMA's therapeutic potential. Alva's analysis underscores the need for a balanced view that considers both the potential benefits and risks. The push for continued research and careful, controlled implementation is vital to unlocking MDMA's full potential in treating PTSD. As the psychiatric community awaits the FDA's decision, the dialogue around MDMA and other psychedelic therapies continues to evolve. Whether MDMA-assisted therapy will become a standard treatment for PTSD remains to be seen, but the conversation has undoubtedly moved from the fringes to the forefront of psychiatric research.

Comprehensive mental health care should be the standard, not the exception https://lnkd.in/guC_nSns

Here are some somatic awareness exercises you can try to get out of your head (which is where most humans spend the majority of their time) and into your body: Sit, lie down, or sit comfortably in a chair Close your eyes if it feels safe Take a few deep breaths Notice where your body is touching the ground, chair, or bed Focus on your head and notice any sensations You can also try grounding, which is the ability to feel connected to the earth and lower your center of energy. This involves bringing your awareness, breath, and energy to your legs, feet, and lower pelvis. Although some somatic experiencing exercises can be done alone, I recommend you work with a trained therapist to fully benefit from the approach. Happy Experiencing!

A simple way to stay embodied during your workday👇 (you can do this now!) Using this Three-Part Breath technique, you'll reduce anxiety & stress, calm your central nervous system and relieve some symptoms of the mind-body agitation (which we all know that work and sitting at your desk all day can cause.) 1. Place your right hand on your lower belly below your navel and above your pubic bone. 2. Take an inhalation in through the nose. Feel it entering your nose and traveling down into the depths of the lungs. Feel your side ribs expanding and notice as your belly also expands. 3. See if you can notice your right hand (on your belly) expand out as you inhale. The belly is the first part of the “3 part breath”. 4. Exhale all the way, even further than you think you can. Imagine yourself gifting carbon dioxide to the trees and to the planet as you receive the gift of oxygen from them. 5. With the next inhalation, breathe into your belly (it rises away from the floor) and this time also fill your solar plexus/mid torso with air as your side ribs expand (2nd part of the “3 part breath”) 6. Exhale all the way even more than you think you can. 7. Inhale and this time fill your belly, your mid-section and your chest with oxygen. The chest is the third part of the “3 part breath”. Keep in mind - you can use this technique whenever you need/want to feel more grounded and alleviate some stress from your life.

Im so happy to be spending time with my friend and colleagues Thomas Holmes and Ron Ungern talking about this important topic. Internal Family Systems for Psychosis: Opportunities and Challenges This webinar will feature a dialogue between experts, exploring some unique advantages of using IFS to help with “psychotic” difficulties, as well as possible challenges and strategies to deal with those challenges. The plan is for dialogue that will venture into some deep and provocative topics! This discussion will make the most sense to those who have some familiarity with the basic concepts of IFS as well as humanistic approaches to psychosis https://lnkd.in/gWjjAyAv
