FAQ
-
Psychedelic therapy is an emergent healing modality that pairs substances, guided support, and the therapeutic environment to promote healing and personal insight.
We believe in you and your innate ability to heal. Often, that ability can feel diminished due to past experiences, traumas, and learned patterns. Our aim is to serve as a support alongside you, with the psychedelic medicine working as a catalyst to open up access to healing that may have been previously less accessible.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a well-established psychological therapy. It is practiced by thousands of therapists worldwide and there is extensive research evidence demonstrating that is an effective form of treatment for a huge variety of problems. The ‘CBT way’ of understanding emotions says that what we feel is a result of what we think and how we act. It suggests that if our goal is to manage how we are feeling then we will need to make changes in our thinking and behavior. CBT has a repertoire of techniques for exploring and changing the ways we think and act.
ACT is a more recent branch within the CBT ‘family’ of therapies, and it takes a different stance towards emotion. ACT’s position is that problems occur when our emotions, or our attempts to control them, get in the way of us living a life in accordance with our values. A ‘valued life’ is one that we find personally meaningful, but our struggles with emotions often mean that we ‘drift off course’. ACT puts a different emphasis on what is important (living a meaningful life rather than regulating how I feel). The focus of work in ACT is in “facilitating individuals to more towards a more valued and personally fulfilling life, in a context in which previously obstructive unpleasant emotions no longer serve as obstructions” ACT therapists often use metaphors that invite people to take control of the direction of their lives, like ‘driving your own bus’ or ‘sailing your own ship’.
