Richard Zwicky and Christopher Pollock discussed psychedelic-assisted therapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Christopher elaborated on the therapeutic process, safety protocols, including assessment for addictive disorders and blood pressure monitoring, and the crucial role of collaboration with psychiatrists.
He explained that this therapy facilitates "ego death" to process trauma without re-experiencing it, expanding an individual's "window of tolerance" to create new narratives.
