Psychedelic Therapy with Amanda Grinter

This week our hosts discuss psychedelic therapy with Amanda Grinter, a registered counseling therapist specializing in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy and EMDR. (Also a former reachAbility counselor, welcome back!) Amanda explains that psychedelic therapy, used for thousands of years by indigenous communities, is a holistic approach integrating mind, body, and spirit. She details the therapeutic process, including preparation, the use of substances like ketamine, psilocybin, and MDMA, and the importance of aftercare and integration sessions. Amanda also touches on the legal, financial, and regulatory barriers that currently limit access to psychedelic therapy.
