Psilocybin Therapy in Victoria, BC
What is psilocybin therapy?
According to Therapsil: Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy is the professionally guided use of high dose psilocybin (‘magic mushrooms’) in combination with psychotherapy.
This treatment option involves a treatment protocol that encompasses careful medical oversight of the treatment session, as well as pre- and post -psychotherapy sessions. This therapy has been shown in numerous clinical studies to reduce existential distress, relieve depression and reduce or eliminate the fear of death.
In December 2021, the Canadian government announced the Special Access Program (SAP) which enables physicians to request access to Psilocybin Therapy for people suffering from serious illness whom have not found significant benefit from other forms of treatment. Some applications have been approved for Psilocybin Therapy to treat depression, however it is an arduous application process and the legal approvals have been slowing down.
