Manage episode 424000086 series 3456549
Ever wondered how psilocybin could transform your mental health journey? Join us on "The Fully Mindful" as we sit down with Kat, a former corporate executive turned mental health advocate, who opens up about her personal and transformative experiences with psilocybin. Learn how she transitioned from microdosing for stress management and focus enhancement in her corporate career to leveraging higher doses for profound trauma healing and insightful revelations. Kat also demystifies the rigorous two-year process that led to Oregon's groundbreaking legalization of psilocybin, shedding light on the state's commitment to a safe and regulated therapeutic framework.
Navigate through the intricacies of psilocybin therapy with us, focusing on the importance of personalized dosing, client preparation, and the overall journey. Kat provides valuable insights into the detailed intake and screening phases, preparation exercises, and the administration sessions where facilitators support but do not direct the experience. Discover how a tailored approach, especially for those on SSRIs or dealing with high anxiety, can make all the difference in achieving a safe and effective session. We also explore the therapeutic potential of psilocybin for neurodivergent individuals, with Kat sharing her own experiences to illustrate how this form of therapy can address deeply buried emotional wounds that traditional methods often miss.
Finally, we discuss the spiritual and emotional connections fostered through repeated psilocybin sessions, offering listeners a glimpse into the lasting sense of connection and spiritual presence that can be cultivated. Kat emphasizes the importance of intentional and respectful use of psilocybin, contrasting it with recreational use, and shares exciting news about emerging insurance coverage options that could make this transformative therapy more accessible. Tune in to learn about Fractal Soul and Fractal Health Consulting, and discover how you can embark on your own journey with psilocybin therapy.
