How magic mushrooms make you a better therapist

with 

James Keim, lcsw.

This workshop will review research and best practices in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy. Included in our discussion will be how psilocybin can make us better therapists, in addition to being a useful experience for our clients. Concepts of neuroplasticity, memory reconsolidation, and preparation for practice and integration will be discussed as well.
