8 Common Psychedelic Mistakes

CE

Psychedelics Today

In this free webinar we discuss 8 of the most common mistakes so you can avoid them.

Psychedelic experiences are regularly reported as being some of the most profound and meaningful experiences in people's lives. New data is being released regularly about the medical and psychological benefits of psychedelic drugs. As the psychedelic research field continues to grow, the general public is starting to become more interested in the potential benefits that psychedelics may have on mental health and overall well-being. Just because the research points towards positive results, this does not mean positive results will be experienced through recreational use. While recreational experiences have been very beneficial for people in some capacity the risk for psychological and physical danger increases.

With all that said, it is hard to describe how difficult and uncomfortable a bad psychedelic experience can be. If you've had one, odds are you'd like to avoid a repeat. This is why we have put together this short webinar, so you can learn some of the most common mistakes and hopefully avoid them.
At Psychedelics Today, we believe difficult experiences can have value, but they are only desirably under very specific situations.

Access and Inclusion in Psychedelic Treatment

Fluence

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is making its way through the established medical system’s approval process and moving towards becoming an available treatment for conditions such as PTSD and Depression. This comes after years of prohibition of psychedelics through international drug conventions and local laws often disproportionately enforced in marginalized communities. As states and regulatory bodies consider making psychedelic-assisted therapy available, key social justice considerations come into focus, particularly around healthcare disparities and access to treatment, medicalization of plants that certain communities consider sacred, oppressive psychiatric treatments, and stigma experienced by people who use drugs.

An Introduction to Philosophy and Psychedelics

Psychedelics Today

The history of Western philosophy lays groundwork for understanding the importance of psychedelics today. Philosophy began as a quest for the meaning of life. Greek civilization gave rise to relatively independent, small city-states that were more or less self-organizing communities. By the sixth century BCE they had become sufficiently prosperous through trading and otherwise to afford leisure for some of their members to question the basic nature of things, and written language had developed that could record the speculations.

The Greeks were culturally homogeneous from about the 8th century BCE, calling themselves Hellenes. They celebrated a variety of ecstatic rites whose shamanic origins fostered a diverse mythology, not a monotheistic orthodoxy that stifled individual thinking. Orphic, Dionysian, and Eleusinian initiations celebrated experiences of death and rebirth, inspired the great tragedies, and nurtured mystical experiences that influenced philosophers’ inquiries into the meaning of life.

Antidepressants and Psychedelics

Matter Academy

Despite broad use and some benefits, antidepressants have several limitations

Their need for daily use, short and long-term side effects, as well as withdrawal reactions can complicate therapy and introduce risks to stopping

This leaves people feeling dependent and stuck with antidepressants, even when benefits are unclear or side effects are present

Unfortunately, many professionals don't feel confident or comfortable helping persons taper antidepressants resulting in increasing and unnecessary long-term use

But what alternatives are there?
And how can you safely transition away from antidepressants?

Psychedelic therapies are rapidly emerging as evidence-based alternatives for managing mental health conditions treated with antidepressants

This course aims to inform and educate about preventing the risks of antidepressant discontinuation, and strategies for proceeding safely

It also includes information on the interactions between antidepressants and various psychedelic substances

Augmented Psychotherapy Training

CE, CME

MIND Foundation

The Augmented Psychotherapy Training (APT) is a two-year training that provides you with the knowledge and skills you need to practice psychedelic-augmented psychotherapy and psychedelic integration therapy in a legal, safe, and evidence-based framework.

In psychedelic-augmented psychotherapy, altered states of consciousness are purposefully induced to promote and augment psychotherapeutic processes. This includes pharmacological (psilocybin, ketamine etc.) and non-pharmacological induction methods (breathwork etc.).

Psychedelic integration therapy helps patients/clients draw therapeutic benefits from psychedelic experiences that have taken place (or will take place) outside of the therapy setting while also minimizing potential harms.

The APT program follows a blended learning model: Over the course of the two training years, five intensive on-site trainings take place in Berlin, Germany. Furthermore, weekly online training sessions in a variety of formats are held over the entire duration of the program. Learn more about the training contents.

Bwiti: School of Life

Matter Academy

Bwiti: School of Life is a 4-part recorded series that serves as a platform and voice for traditional practitioners of Bwiti in Gabon to educate and inspire anyone with an interest in the use of iboga, referred to in Gabon mostly as le bois sacre (“the sacred wood”). The series provides a window into the beautiful and and profound traditional uses, and how the sacred wood serves as not only a medicine, but a way of life in Gabon. The content aims to educate and connect people to the depth, artistry and wisdom of the traditions, as well as touch on themes of integral plant medicine practice and sustainability.

This is a unique educational opportunity. Rather than a materialistic view of the historical development of iboga and ibogaine in other contexts, we will explore the emerging and evolving cultural contexts of its use and the way that these practices and ideals have influenced global culture and approaches to healing and spirituality. Each 1.5 hour webcast included short clips of video material collected in villages that practice various branches of traditional Bwiti, followed by recordings from guest presentations and discussion.

Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research

CIIS Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research

This Certificate Program is housed in the CIIS Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research. The Center also provides diverse public education about psychedelic research and the use of psychedelics in psychotherapy from the past decades, as well as teaching on topics such as creativity enhancement, consciousness studies, comparative mysticism, well-being enrichment, and harm reduction. Book readings and lectures by scholars of psychedelic medicines have been presented since 2015.

The Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research Certificate Program serves a growing need for the training of skilled therapist researchers who will ideally seek advanced training for future FDA-approved psychedelic-assisted and entactogen-assisted psychotherapy research. We use the term "psychedelic" to refer to both the classic psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, peyote, ayahuasca, etc.) and to those drugs specifically termed "entactogens" and also known as "empathogens" (MDMA, MDA, etc.). Enrollees are professionals in specific licensed mental health and medical professions, as well as eligible ordained or commissioned clergy and chaplains.
