Thanks for stopping by! The possibilities with #psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy are truly endless when we work with @PLiknaitzky. 😎
I had a blast visiting @PLiknaitzky Clinical Psychedelic Research Lab yesterday & seeing how psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is being conducted. It is really exciting to see psychedelic therapies being investigated with such consideration, scientific rigour & in such style👌
