@mitcharj Great news Andy and credit to you for persisting !

[Dr Alessio Agostinis @DrAgostinis]

@mitcharj It has certainly been shown in the evidence now for more than 10 years that chronic health conditions are the largest burden so it’s fantastic to see thinking catching up ….hopefully it will be a whole person (bio psycho social ) approach that is advocated for 🤞🏻

@HopkinsMedicine #TRFTraumacon #psychedelics neural mechanisms create / re open novel critical periods for psychological therapy to create learning opportunities
They open the space AND therapy targets the behavioural change

[Dr Alessio Agostinis @DrAgostinis]

#TRFTraumaCon mechanisms of change and contributing factors that predict improvement:
Pre trial expectancy does not apply for psilocybin!
Predictors include therapeutic alliance, emotional breakthrough and rapport with facilitators

[Dr Alessio Agostinis @DrAgostinis]

@Oneillmar Sounds good 👍 I look forward to that :-)

#psychedelics #MDMA #DMT #psilocybin #ketamin as a tools for #transdiagnostic medium in therapy
Dose related experiences and - again - essential being held by two therapists during the process as key 🔑

diagnostic frameworks to be challenged

@TRFTraumaCon @RickDoblin presenting on MDMA-Assisted therapy for PTSD may be approved by 11/8/24 in the US;
May be followed by psilocybin in a couple of years
Benefits do not last as long without therapy and, without it, patients likely to get stuck on medicine, for ketamine
