Paul Grof, MD, FRCPC Endorses Healthcare Practitioner Access to Psilocybin for Professional Training - TheraPsil

This course page outlines TheraPsil’s rationale for healthcare practitioner access to psilocybin as part of professional training in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy. It emphasizes that effective psychedelic-supported psychotherapy requires therapists to be prepared, familiar with non-ordinary states of consciousness, and able to support patients through preparation, facilitation, and integration. The source also describes TheraPsil’s broader training effort, including experiential learning, lectures, case studies, readings, and discussion. In this model, trainees may personally experience psilocybin mushrooms as part of their preparation to better understand the patient experience and the conditions needed for safe guidance. A letter of support from Paul Grof, MD, FRCPC is included, discussing historical training practices and the importance of supervised personal experience for therapists working with psychedelics. The page is intended for healthcare professionals and others involved in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy training.
