Psychedelics, the Psychobiome, and Psychedelic Coaching
After 25 years of meeting and treating people in pain, I have learnt that chronic pain is a complex condition, and solutions often prove illusive. And as the pain continues month after month, year after year, failed treatment after failed treatment, doctor after doctor, people fall into depression, disillusionment and despair.
Understandably so. That’s why when I hear Court’s stories of spontaneous recovery and single treatments resulting in total pain remission, I feel hopeful that a future exists where less people are going to have to surrender to unending suffering.
Court Wing is a former chronic pain sufferer and the founder and CEO of REMAP Therapeutics, an organisation dedicated to exploring, innovating, and developing the intersection between psychedelics and chronic pain. Seeing an unmet need, REMAP organised and hosted the first of its kind “Psychedelics and Pain Symposium” with some of the most prominent researchers in the field.
REMAP Therapeutics is devoted to the development of formal psychedelic rehabilitation sessions and cohesive best practices for many treatment-resistant chronic pain conditions.
Join us as we explore:
- The sad statistics of chronic pain, the technical definition, why we are seeing so much of it, why we have been unsuccessful at treating it and why psychedelics provide new, genuine hope for a pain treatment renaissance.
- How less than a handful of psychedelic dosages allowed a war veteran to move toes and fingers she hadn’t been able to move for 7 years.
- The incredible connection between our eyes, our visual field, being outside and chronic pain!
- You’ve heard of the microbiome, but what about the psychobiome!
- Why treatment is not just about the psychedelic – it’s about the combination with human connection and a process of therapy or counselling.
