Join this FREE WEBINAR presented by Dr Ronald D. Siegel (USA)

Over the past 15 years mindfulness and compassion practices have become part of mainstream psychotherapy, while more recently research on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has mushroomed, offering not only possible breakthrough treatments for PTSD, depression, addictions, and end-of-life anxiety, but providing new insights into the nature of psychological distress and mechanisms of healing.

How can these developments inform our clinical practice if we’re not participating in the research? In this presentation, we’ll explore the common healing factors in non-ordinary states as well as practical applications of these in all forms of therapy.

Topic: Learning from Non-Ordinary States: Mindfulness, Compassion, & Psychedelics

Date: Wednesday 7 September 2022

Time: 12:55am for 1:00pm start – 2:15pm (incl Q&A) (AEST)

The presentation WILL BEGIN AT 1:00pm.

Location: Online. A link will be emailed to you with the viewing details

More about medicinal psychedelic treatments:

Psychedelic-assisted treatments offer enormous potential in providing a meaningful alternative to current treatments for mental illness. PTSD is a debilitating condition that affects tens of millions of people worldwide, with many more trauma victims diagnosed with comorbid conditions such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. In recent clinical trials, MDMA has been shown to produce reliable clinical improvements, restoring patient safety and self-agency even for individuals who have suffered with PTSD for many years, and for whom many treatments have failed.

The wave of clinical psychedelic research and regulatory support is rapidly building, with experts forecasting the availability of psychedelic-assisted treatments in the US and EU within the next 2 to 5 years, subject to positive clinical outcomes in large trials that are currently underway.
