obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD and addiction He explains how psilocybin induces sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition We discuss the key components of safe and effective psychedelic journeys the role of hallucinations the use of eye-masks to encourage people to go internal and music as well as what effective therapist support consists of before during and after the session also known as integration We discuss micodosing vs macrodosing and how researchers control for placebo effects in psychedelic research We also discuss the current legal landscape around psychedelic therapies Psychedelic therapies are fast emerging as powerful and soon-to-be mainstream treatments for medical health disorders but they are not without their risks As such this episode
