Some psychoactive substances, previously banned from medical research, are now proven able to provide a credible cure for clinical depression– a real reconnection to health, to the good in you and in the world. Ask yourself: what kind of overall experience of healing would you want were you to become depressed? Therapy helps illuminate false truths and re-write your inner narrative. But rather than waiting alone for a medication with plenty of possible side effects to eventually work, might you not prefer to join in on an accompanied healing journey, one which offers the promise of immediate relief of suffering and a much greater realization of your getting all the way better? For the first time in a long while, the future of psychiatry, looks very different, indeed wonderful to me, offering a new consciousness in the treatment of depression and more.
