Intro to Psychedelic Therapy

     Hi, I'm Jenny. I am creating this blog to explore the topic I've chosen for my argumentative essay. The topic that I chose to focus on is the use of psychedelic substances in therapy to aid in the treatment of P.T.S.D, anxiety/depression, addictions and other mental illnesses and trauma related issues. I first became interested in this topic after reading about how some war veterans who were severely depressed and traumatized who were having difficulty re-adjusting and carrying on post-war, had miraculously found themselves "cured" after taking a psychedelic plant medicine called ayahuasca. Then I discovered that there are quite a few Universities that have renewed clinical studies of the use of psychedelics in therapy in recent years. I'm pretty fascinated by the subject and am excited to do research to learn more about the findings of this type of therapeutic treatment. Thanks for reading my blog. I look forward to hearing your feedback.
