How Psilocybin Therapy Works: Set, Setting, and Session
Direct Answer: Psilocybin therapy combines pharmacological effects with psychological support in three phases: preparation (1–3 sessions), the session itself (6–8 hours), and integration (2–3 sessions processing the experience).
The Three Phases
Phase 1 — Preparation: Establish therapeutic goals, address fears, build trust. Phase 2 — The Session: Comfortable home-like room, curated music, eye shades, two therapists present. Phase 3 — Integration: Make sense of the experience and translate insights into lasting behavioral change.
