Psychedelic therapy, commonly known as “Terapie Psihedelica” in Romania, has gained popularity in recent years as a promising approach to treating various mental health disorders. To explore this innovative therapy method further, I had the opportunity to interview a psychedelic therapist in Romania.
I sat down with Andrei, a licensed therapist in Romania who has been using psychedelic substances in his therapy sessions for the past five years. Andrei started his journey with psychedelic therapy after witnessing the transformative effects it had on his clients. He explained that psychedelic therapy involves the use of substances such as psilocybin, LSD, or MDMA to facilitate deep emotional and psychological healing in a therapeutic setting.
When asked about the benefits of psychedelic therapy, Andrei highlighted the ability of these substances to access parts of the unconscious mind that are often difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy. He explained that psychedelics can induce a profound state of altered consciousness that allows individuals to explore their inner world, confront their fears and traumas, and gain insights into their behavior and thought patterns.
Andrei emphasized that psychedelic therapy is not a quick fix or a magic pill, but rather a tool that can catalyze the therapeutic process and lead to long-lasting changes. He mentioned that many of his clients have reported significant improvements in their mental health after undergoing psychedelic therapy, including reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.
In our conversation, Andrei also addressed some of the misconceptions and concerns surrounding psychedelic therapy. He stressed the importance of set and setting – the mindset and environment in which the therapy takes place – in ensuring a safe and beneficial experience. He also emphasized the need for proper guidance and support from trained therapists throughout the session to prevent any potential risks or adverse effects.
As the interview came to a close, Andrei expressed his hopes for the future of psychedelic therapy in Romania. He envisioned a world where psychedelic substances are decriminalized and integrated into mainstream mental health care, allowing more people to benefit from their transformative potential.
In conclusion, my interview with Andrei shed light on the growing field of psychedelic therapy in Romania and the profound impact it can have on individuals’ mental health. As more research is conducted and stigma is reduced, psychedelic therapy has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach mental health treatment and promote healing on a profound level.
