Naturopathic Doctor on Psilocybin Therapy: What You Need to Know

Dr. JJ Pursell, a naturopathic physician and licensed psilocybin facilitator in Oregon, joins us for this episode to offer an introductory primer to psilocybin assisted therapy. We talk about what psilocybin therapy actually is, what preparation and integration involve, what happens inside a session, and what the real risks are. We also walk through her full protocol from the first preparation conversation to the required integration sessions afterward. We then get specific about contraindications, red flags in choosing a facilitator, and how to tell whether this is the right thing for you at all. I really wanted this to be a great introductory episode for anyone interested in psilocybin therapy, but also one that's thorough enough to be satisfying and interesting to people who already know quite a bit. Here's hoping I hit the mark on it. 🤞 Enjoy! 🎧 Full show notes + listen on Apple/Spotify: https://bit.ly/ATTMind210 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 GUEST LINKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Dr. JJ Pursell's website: https://drjjpursell.com ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjjpursell2024/ ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jjpursell6187 ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjpursellndlac/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/175136495868625 📚 Check out JJ's book Psilocybin Therapy: Understanding How to Use Nature's Psychedelics for Mental Health USA: https://bookshop.org/p/books/psilocybin-therapy-understanding-how-to-use-nature-s-psychedelics-for-mental-health-dr-jj-pursell/7796363e51a70603 CAD: https://www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781643262000/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍄 EPISODE SPONSOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Amentara, legal psychoactive plants and extracts: https://www.jameswjesso.com/amentara ► Use promo code ATTM22 for 22% off your first order ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ SUPPORT THE PODCAST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Become a Patreon member: https://www.patreon.com/jameswjesso ► Donate via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=383635S3BKJVS ► All support options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 JAMES' BOOKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Decomposing The Shadow: https://www.jameswjesso.com/decomposing-the-shadow/ ► The True Light Of Darkness: https://www.jameswjesso.com/true-light-of-darkness/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📬 STAY IN TOUCH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Newsletter: https://www.jameswjesso.com/newsletter ► Telegram: ******* ► Instagram: @attmindpodcast #Psychedelics #PsychedelicScience #PsilocybinTherapy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EPISODE BREAKDOWN ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
