I am in the delicate and complex work of allowing and empowering it; because ultimately I believe that you have the wisdom to bring about the changes you need. I believe that change is your work and your choice: I see my my role as someone who would set the stage, in some instances empty it, illuminate what stands in the way, explore and discover with you all the options and possibilities for change. The fact that you are here, already ensures it. My job is to notice your process, reflect it and honor it. In this space, I have seen amazing change happen. Whether you are in a place of crisis, transition or trauma, the purpose of our work together is to help you arrive at a place of clarity and resolution. One of the gifts of this place is a sense of greater self awareness: where you are choosing and owning your values, goals and responses instead of them choosing or controlling you.

Japan's psilocybin therapy cured severe depression in days, yet DEA keeps it Schedule I

Japanese researchers at Kyoto University demonstrated that psilocybin-assisted therapy eliminated treatment-resistant depression in 67% of patients after just two supervised sessions, with effects lasting six months or longer. Patients who failed every antidepressant, ECT therapy, and counseling for years reported complete remission within 72 hours of treatment.

The therapy combines medical-grade psilocybin (the active compound in magic mushrooms) with guided psychological support. Patients take a carefully measured dose in a comfortable clinical setting with trained therapists present. The psilocybin creates a 4-6 hour experience where the brain forms new neural connections, essentially "rebooting" stuck thought patterns that cause depression. Brain scans show increased communication between brain regions that normally don't talk to each other, breaking rigid mental loops.

But here's the frustration for Americans: while Japan, Australia, and Switzerland approve psilocybin therapy for depression, the US Drug Enforcement Administration keeps it classified as Schedule I—the same category as he**in, meaning "no medical use" despite overwhelming evidence. The FDA has granted "breakthrough therapy" designation, yet full approval remains years away due to bureaucratic delays and political pressure from groups opposing any psychedelic legitimization.

American veterans with PTSD and depression are committing su***de at 22 per day while effective treatment sits banned. Some travel to Jamaica or Netherlands for legal psilocybin therapy, spending $10,000-$15,000 out of pocket. Others risk arrest buying mushrooms illegally from underground networks.

How many more lives could be saved if medicine moved faster than politics?
