Psilocybin therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for various mental health conditions, but it’s crucial to understand both its potential benefits and safety considerations. Here’s what you need to know about the safety of psilocybin therapy:
Potential Benefits and Effectiveness
Psilocybin, the primary psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms,” has shown significant potential in treating mental health disorders. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in relieving symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety in terminally ill patients. Some research has even found that the positive effects of psilocybin can be long-lasting, with participants experiencing benefits for up to a year after one single dose.
Satya Therapeutics is a leader in legal psilocybin therapy. We believe results for the 500+ clients who have visited us have been significant, following the same outcomes as the research studies show.
Simply stated, the psychedelic assisted therapy we offer works.
Safety Considerations
While psilocybin therapy shows promise, it’s important to approach it with caution:
Controlled Environment:
Psilocybin should only be administered in a controlled setting under the supervision of trained professionals. This significantly reduces the risks associated with its use. Satya Therapeutics offers a very controlled and SAFE setting.
Screening:
Psilocybin therapy is not suitable for everyone. Oregon’s law does not allow clients to participate if they 1) have taken Lithium in the past 30 days, 2) have ever been diagnosed with active psychosis, and/or 3) are having thoughts of harming self or harming others.
Potential Side Effects:
Some people may experience adverse effects such as increased blood pressure, headache, nausea, anxiety, or in rare cases, persistent psychosis. Over the past year seeing 500+ clients, there has not been a single adverse reaction.
“Bad Trips”:
In the service center environment, with a supportive facilitator, the likelihood of a “bad trip” is close to zero. There are always support staff on hand to make sure clients are cared for whenever needed.
Know Your Grower:
Psilocybin obtained illegally can be contaminated with dangerous substances, posing significant health risks. At Satya Therapeutics we are the only Service Center in the State that also has a separate license to grow psilocybin mushrooms. Our product is grown under organic conditions, inspected for quality, and tested via an independent lab for potency. You can be confident our products are fresh, and clean. And because we grow our own mushrooms, we can offer affordable psilocybin treatment by passing cost savings on to you.
Other Considerations
Professional Guidance:
Psilocybin therapy should only be undertaken with proper supervision. Satya Therapeutics has the most experienced psilocybin facilitators in the State of Oregon. They are trauma-informed, as some facilitators have seen close to a hundred or more clients in the past year.
Set and Setting:
The mental state of the participant and the physical environment play crucial roles in the therapeutic experience and safety of psilocybin use. At Satya Therapeutics the setting is calm, beautiful, safe, and healing. You prepare for your journey with a State-licensed facilitator in advance of your session. You continue to work with the facilitator after your experience.
Individual Variability:
Experiences can be unpredictable and may vary based on factors such as dosage, personality, mood, and expectations. At Satya Therapeutics each client creates an individually customized plan for treatment with the goal being to create a predictable, beneficial, experience.
Conclusion
While psilocybin therapy shows promising results for certain mental health conditions, it’s essential to approach it with caution and under professional guidance. We believe the process is safe and effective.
Satya Therapeutics suggests clients do due diligence on any potential Service Center (a good source are Google Reviews), and spend time selecting a facilitator to work with.
At Satya Therapeutics we believe we are the best choice for psilocybin treatment because we have had a large number of clients who have great outcomes with zero adverse outcomes.
