Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Science and Practice of Psychedelic Therapies Webinar Series
"Liberation-Informed Psychedelic Care: Healing Beyond our Trauma"
Instructor: Charlotte Duerr James
Friday, Feb. 28
12-1:30 p.m. EST | Virtual
The psychedelic resurgence has promised alleviation from a variety of mental health conditions, from depression and anxiety to PTSD. This becomes challenging within our society where external factors like poverty and oppression lead to continuous reharming of people seeking to heal. This webinar will focus on how we can move beyond our trauma by refocusing our healing efforts on ancestral reclamation and liberation. Mainstreaming of psychedelics has been focused on the medicalized perspective, which assumes one has to approach the medicine with something to heal or "fix," instead of centering curiosity and reclaiming wholeness. This workshop will help participants understand how this medicalized approach can lead to a replication of oppressive narratives that created the trauma to begin with and does little to alleviate the remnants of harm caused by colonial conditioning and mindset.
Upon the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
-
Summarize findings from at least three recent clinical trials, including patient demographics and outcomes
-
Identify at least three key challenges in therapist training and propose solutions.
-
List four major obstacles to scaling psychedelic therapy and brainstorm at least two potential solutions for each.
