Higher Self - Psychedelika in der Psychotherapie

Reconnecting with the world and oneselfWhat exactly are psychedelics and why are they playing an increasingly important role in the fields of medicine, resilience and spirituality?How psychedelics enhance neuroplasticity, thereby enabling the expansion of consciousness while making the self more permeable and resilient.Psychotropic drugs work primarily through changes in brain chemistry. Psychedelics, on the other hand, serve one of the strongest effect factors of psychotherapy: they enable expansion of consciousness through direct experience. Psychiatrist Gregor Hasler explains how exactly LSD, psilocybin, MDMA (ecstasy), ketamine and esketamine promote experienced insight and how they enhance neuroplasticity.Psychedelic psychotherapy is a method of getting closer to the world and oneself again. For severely traumatised people, rapprochement is generally particularly difficult and also dangerous. This is where the helioscope effect of psychedelics comes to the rescue: they have a protective factor "built in" that allows one to look right into one's pain without being burned as if by the heat of the sun's emotions. Thus psychedelics can serve as important catalysts of psychotherapeutic processes.
