How we were loved early in life often shapes how we experience love as adults.

Relational trauma, whether experienced in childhood or later in life, can quietly influence attachment, emotional regulation, trust, and the patterns that emerge within romantic relationships.

In our newest blog post, Neuroscientist Tommaso Barba explores how early relational environments shape the nervous system and how later experiences, such as betrayal or violence can further disrupt connection, and how emerging therapeutic approaches such as psychedel!c-assisted couples therapy may offer new hope and healing.

If some of these dynamics feel familiar, the full article offers a grounded perspective on where they come from and why they can be so persistent.

Last week we had the pleasure of attending Psych Symposium 2025 in London as sponsors and speakers!

As one of Europe’s leading psychedel!c conferences, Psych symposium brings together top researchers, clinicians and regulators shaping the future of this field.

Our founder and lead therapist, Sarah, hosted a workshop on Relational Science: The Emerging Field of Couples Therapy, joined by Tommaso Barba, researcher at Imperial College London.

Together, they presented psychedel!c-assisted couples therapy as a meaningful clinical approach and shared the promising initial findings from our observational study investigating the impact of psilocyb!n on couples in the Beautiful Space program.

Across all panels, access, value and collective collaboration emerged as central themes. While cost remains an important consideration, we are reminded of the long-term personal and societal impact of mental illness compared with the potential of psychedel!c-assisted therapy.

The road to wider access and safe global healthcare integration remains long and demanding, but we will not give up. We wholeheartedly believe in the medicine. We have witnessed it's life-changing impact on others and most of us have experienced it firsthand.

Moving this field forward will take all of us working together with integrity and collective responsibility.

We are left feeling inspired by the extraordinary work underway and energised for what lies ahead.

What happens when science studies the mystical?

Across centuries and cultures, mystical experiences have been described as life-changing moments of deep insight, unity and awe, and even encounters with the sacred that transcend time and language.

In our latest article, neuroscientist and researcher Tommaso Barba from Imperial College London dives into this fascinating terrain — exploring what defines a mystical experience, how psilocybin may catalyse this state and what science is revealing about its healing and therapeutic potential.

Psychedel!s are often studied for individual healing but what happens when these experiences are shared within a romantic relationship?

Both MDM*A and classic psychedel!s like psilocyb!n, L$D and DMȚ have shown great potential for deepening connection and communication and supporting relationship growth.

At the same time, how they work, how couples experience them and their long-term impact on relationships are still largely under-researched in modern psychedelic!c science.

In his latest article for Beautiful Space, neuroscientist Tommaso Barba explores the differences between these substances, drawing on current research on their use in relationship enhancement and the distinct ways they may shape intimacy. Featuring real-life insights, from practitioner Sarah Tilley who shares what shes observed with couples in high-dose psilocyb!n sessions.
