As a trainer, supervisor, and ethics committee member of TheraPsil, Dr. Farzin oversaw the session, which marked a significant milestone in the integration of psilocybin-assisted therapy into public healthcare. His contributions are helping pave the way for broader access to this transformative treatment, offering new hope for patients facing terminal illnesses.​

Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, has the potential to address a wide range of mental health issues when used in psychotherapy. Health Canada permits its use on a case-by-case basis for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression and end-of-life anxiety.

PROFOUND
EMOTIONAL RELIEF

Ketamine-assisted therapy offers significant relief from severe anxiety and depression, even in cases where traditional treatments have failed.

By resetting brain activity patterns, these therapies provide rapid and sustained improvements in mood and outlook, allowing patients to regain a sense of hope and well-being.

PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL
INSIGHTS

Psychedelic treatments facilitate altered states of consciousness, helping patients access deep-seated emotions and trauma.

This process can lead to profound psycho-spiritual insights, enabling one to reconcile with their mortality, reduce existential distress, and find peace in their current life stage.

MEANING MAKING

Psychedelic medicine helps patients facing terminal illnesses or severe mental health challenges uncover new meanings and insights about their life experiences.

This process fosters renewed purpose and a deeper connection to their lives, enhancing emotional and spiritual healing.
