Psychedelic therapy in Brazil
Psychedelics and psychotherapy
The last few years have been promising for psychedelics. After sixty years in hiding, these substances return to the headlines as possibilities in the care of disorders and human cognitive freedom. Of course, some have been known for millennia and others were discovered in the last century.
There is a growing consensus that such substances have the ability to open a window of opportunity for new behaviors and insights.
Treatment with psychedelics
In Brazil, there are only two - actually three - ways of carrying out a treatment with psychedelics: in a hospital and research context. The third way is autonomous use and reporting during sessions.
There are psychedelics used ritualistically and their contents are likely to be included in the agenda of psychotherapy sessions or personal analysis.
I want to study about psychedelics
There are a few ways to study psychedelics. One is by reading the most recent articles in online journals, finding out about congresses and events about psychedelics in Brazil, reading authors who promote knowledge in the field and taking courses.
The most complete course I know of offered in Brazil is the Associação Psicodélica do Brasil, which is offered completely online on the EAD platform. The course, created by the CEP (Center for Psychedelic Studies) is the idealization of the APB and contains four modules:
Module 1:Introduction to the use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes
Module 2:psychedelic therapy
Module 3: The integration process in the psychedelic experience
Module 4:The phenomenon of microdosing as the process of exploring low doses from the psychedelic paradigm
There are over 30 hours of content. There is no more complete course in Brazil.
