Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy begins in Brisbane

GoodMind Therapeutics Begins Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy in Brisbane

We are excited to announce that GoodMind Therapeutics is now screening for patients in Brisbane and the Gold Coast for some of the first psychedelic-assisted therapy to be offered in Australia.  This groundbreaking approach may offer a new therapeutic option for those experiencing low mood and other mental health challenges.

What Is Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy combines the use of psychedelic substances with traditional psychotherapeutic techniques. 

This treatment is designed to help individuals break through patterns of low mood, emotional blocks, and mental health struggles.

The treatment is highly supervised to maximise patient safety and to offer a supportive environment where individuals can address their emotional challenges and work toward a sense of balance.

The treatment often involves a few sessions where the psychedelics are administered in a controlled, clinical setting, guided by trained therapists. 

These sessions are supported by additional psychotherapy sessions aimed at integrating the psychedelic experiences.

How does psychedelic-assisted therapy work?

Psychedelics are known to affect the brain’s serotonin receptors and can induce profound changes in consciousness and perception, which can lead to increased insight and emotional release. 

During therapy, these substances are believed to temporarily disrupt harmful patterns of thought and behaviour, offering patients new perspectives on old problems.

  1. Breaking Negative Thought Cycles: Psychedelics may be able to disrupt the brain’s default mode network (DMN), the area linked with self-referential thoughts often associated with feelings of low mood. This disruption aims to decrease negative thinking and enable a new state of connectedness and openness.

     

  2. Enhanced Emotional Connectivity: Under the influence of psychedelics, patients often report feeling more open and emotionally available, which can enhance the therapeutic process by promoting a deeper exploration of emotional traumas and healing.

Who Is Suitable for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy in Brisbane?

Psychedelic-assisted therapy in Brisbane and the Gold Coast is for individuals who have tried other approaches to manage low mood or mental health challenges with limited success. 

This option may be suitable for those feeling stuck, or who are seeking a fresh approach to their mental wellbeing. 

Following registration, a comprehensive screening process is undertaken to carefully assess suitability for this therapy.

Not all patients and mental health conditions are eligible, and not all patients will benefit from this type of therapy. 

Registration is now open for residents in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
