Psychedelic Assisted Therapy In Calgary

What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) is a type of therapy that uses psychedelics like psilocybin or MDMA alongside support from a trained therapist. It’s done in a safe, supportive environment to help people heal from things like trauma, anxiety, or depression, and to gain new insights about themselves.

PAT usually happens in three steps:

  1. Preparation – You meet with your therapist to talk about your goals and make sure you’re ready.

  2. Dosing – You take the psychedelic in a calm, controlled setting, with support available throughout.

  3. Integration – After the session, you talk with your therapist about what came up and how to use it in your daily life.

This process can lead to deep emotional healing, new perspectives, and lasting change. It’s not the right fit for everyone, so your therapist will help you decide if it’s a good option for you.
