Psilocybin
What is Psilocybin?
Therapeutic use of Psilocybin
Who could benefit from Psilocybin therapy?
Psilocybin therapy has shown promise in exposing the underlying causes of various mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, once the client has developed a sense of stability and insight into their mental health. Psilocybin therapy is not suitable for everyone. Our Medical Director screens carefully for all psychedelic medicines to see which one is right for you. Psilocybin sessions should always be conducted under the guidance of trained Psychedelic Practitioners.
Why Psilocybin?
How long are the Psilocybin sessions?
Depending on the individual and dosing, each Psilocybin session lasts approximately 6-8 hours. Some clients find relief after only one session, while others require between two and three sessions spread out over several months. Integration with a therapist is essential to realize the full potential of Psilocybin.
What approach does The Sitting Room take with regard to Psilocybin?
The Psychedelic Practitioners at The Sitting Room support clients through their Psilocybin experience using a client-centred, supportive and compassionate approach. Using legally acquired Psilocybin under the authority of our Medical Director, clients are closely monitored by two highly trained practitioners throughout the session. We spend significant time both preparing for and de-briefing the experience. We always provide the client with a confidential summary of their session insights so that they, if they choose, share them with their therapist. With the client’s permission, we work collaboratively with our Medical Director, Dr. Krista Leicht, the client’s therapist, to support the integration process as needed.
