 Psychedelic Psychotherapy

I am conducting research for an essay I am writing on the use of Psychedelic drugs in Psychiatric therapy. I was wondering if maybe anyone on these message boards had experience with Psychedelic therapy. I know there are plenty of recreational users on here, but I would like to focus on those of you who have used psychedelics to combat alcoholism or anxiety/depression issues a few questions.
How did you modify your set and setting to ensure the healing experience you were looking for?
What kinds of emotions or sensations did you experience while confronting your issues on psychedelics?
How have psychedlics possitively or negatively affected your life and how do you differ from before you took the drugs?
Any other information you feel like showering me with would be greatly appreciated.
I posted this on the Psychedelic Experience board as well, but I thought i might get more replies here.

There's a problem here.
I am working with PhD and other Grad Students from Universities (I wont disclose for concealment of identification.) that are studying in correlation with the associates of the Hopkins Psilocybin Studies.... and we're basically trying to ascertain the same questions.
Unfortunately, I can't share any work with you or give you any details, but I can help you elaborate in the interest of obtaining what you seek.
1. You're not giving any credentials; Who are you? Who are you writing the paper for? Who are your colleagues or parent companies?
2. Testimonials from online sources; forums etc. are equally as useful as non-scientific poll statistics and will thus carry no weight in a conviction to actual medicinal (psycho-therapeutic) methodologies or conclusions.
I don't know what kind of paper you're writing or who you're working for, but
3. Scientific studies regarding sincere advancements in the understanding of psycho-therapy through any execution, requires actual scientific method.
Anonymity is utilized effectively here... So, in order to achieve any real data or results you're looking for, you have to first, come out from under the cloak... otherwise.... it's sketchy man.
No offense intended.
Good luck.

I'm just writing this paper for a class I'm taking. I'm not planning on publishing it anywhere and I was just using this website as a way to interview people who have experience with psychedelics, since i do not know many people who I could speak with in person.

I'll tell you from personal experience that I used to get horrible migraines all though middle and high school until I started taking acid and mushrooms.
Haven't had a single one in years now.

Depending on the level of paper you're writing, you may want to look at the actual, published studies, rather than the press releases cited earlier.
I would also urge caution and stress the difference between basic research and "psychedelic psychotherapy". IMO "psychotherapy" implies clinical benefit. At this point, the Hopkins work isn't utilizing very many clinical parameters. Its of a more basic, investigative nature.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge. It is an indellible experience; it is forever known. I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.
Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27.
...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.
Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

None of my actual research has anything to do with the people on the board or the community, but as a result, I am cultivating P.Cubensis and I use the board to help me as well as offer knowledge pertaining to my studies in microbiology whenever possible.
Aside from anything informational regarding psilocybin mushrooms, I am also an artist, a musician and a recreational drug user.
My first post here went into some detail about it, if your curiosity takes you further.
cool?
Cheers.

Yea that's cool. I read your first post back when you posted it.
I was wondering what you and Phd and Grad. students were doing in terms of research, but nevermind that I just read your post a little more carefully.
