You have a case in front of you, PTSD, trauma, whatever you want to imagine, you don't have the access to psilocybin. And what does that treatment look like for a hard case? You know maps, training and um and psychedelic integration, therapy and research, and then they can help them integrate that into their everyday lives.
Can psychedelics help heal mental health issues? In this episode of AllBetter, host Joe Van Wie sits down with Dr. Tiffany Griffiths, a licensed clinical psychologist, to explore the fascinating world of entheogens. Dr. Griffiths, who runs several private practices in Pennsylvania, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table.
She’s not just a therapist; she’s a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor and is currently deepening her expertise through the Psychedelic Therapy and Research Certificate program at the California Institute for Integral Studies. Throughout their conversation, Joe and Dr. Griffiths dive into the history and science behind entheogens—substances like psilocybin and ayahuasca that have been used for centuries in spiritual and healing practices.
They discuss how these substances are now being revisited in modern therapy to treat conditions such as PTSD and trauma. Dr. Griffiths stresses the importance of proper guidance and integration when using entheogens, underscoring that they are not a magic bullet but can be powerful tools when used responsibly. What sets this episode apart is Dr. Griffiths' humanistic approach. She believes in the innate potential for human growth and sees entheogens as one of many pathways to achieving it.
Despite the hurdles in entheogenic research, she remains optimistic about its future. If you’re curious about alternative therapies or looking for new ways to address mental health challenges, this episode offers a thoughtful and hopeful perspective. Tune in to hear more about how entheogens could potentially revolutionize mental health treatment, backed by both scientific research and personal stories.
