Finding the right therapist is crucial. The right guide helps you feel safe and get the most from psychedelic therapy. In Australia, only certain therapists are permitted to offer this treatment legally. Knowing how to spot them enables you to avoid risks and get proper care.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐆𝐀 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥: The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves some therapists and clinics. They follow strict rules and training. Make sure your therapist is on this approved list. This means they can legally provide psychedelic therapy in Australia.

𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Psychedelic therapy needs special skills. Ask your therapist about their experience with this treatment. They should also have training in mental health and the specific medicines used, like psilocybin or M**A.

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Select clinics with positive reviews and transparent information. Trusted clinics follow safety guidelines and provide detailed preparation and integration sessions. Avoid places that promise quick or easy fixes without proper medical oversight. Book your appointment for more accurate advice.

𝐁𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬: If a therapist offers psychedelic sessions without a medical prescription or TGA approval, avoid them. Also, be cautious if the clinic pressures you to take the medicine or skips essential steps, such as screening.

When an anxiety attack starts, your body reacts as if it faces danger. This is called the fight-or-flight response. It is your brain’s way of protecting you from harm. Even if there is no real danger, your body prepares to run or fight.

Even experienced therapists can slip up during a first session. Being aware of common mistakes helps you avoid them and create a more positive experience for your clients.

Talking too much: Let the client speak more than you. Don’t fill every silence. Focus on listening, rather than teaching or giving advice immediately.

Being overly clinical or formal: Avoid using too much technical language. Speak in a calm, human tone that feels warm and relatable.

Skipping informed consent or confidentiality explanation: Always clearly explain to the client what they can expect in therapy. Ensure they understand their rights, including their right to privacy.

Ignoring body language or emotional cues: Pay attention to how the client is sitting, speaking, or reacting. If they seem nervous or withdrawn, slow down and check in gently.

🎂 27 beautiful years around the sun 💕
filled with growth, healing, challenges, love and laughter ♥️
This year has shaped me in ways I never expected. I’ve learned to trust God’s process, to let go when needed, and to keep showing up for myself.

One of the most meaningful parts of this journey has been being an aunt to Chloe, Oli, and Kayden. Being part of their lives has brought so much love and joy and unconditional love.

Here’s to 27: to deeper healing, gentle joy, and steady growth.
