In Episode #47, we explore psychedelics and democratizing access to psychedelic therapy with Jack Swain, Head of Clinical Operations at Mindbloom. We cover why Mindbloom is focused on treating depression and anxiety, Mindbloom’s treatment model and clinicians, and the importance of journaling in mental health therapy.
“The research around psychedelics is just unreal; the potential of these medicines to completely transform the way that we provide mental health care and help people who really need big changes in their life is really exciting.” – Jack Swain

ABOUT MINDBLOOM
Mindbloom as we explore the world of psychedelic therapy. In this episode, you'll learn why psychedelics have emerged as one of the best ways to treat anxiety and depression, how a forgotten body of research from the 1950s and '60s led to the emergence of psychedelics today, how Mindbloom scaled from a single clinical office in 2019 to a nationwide telemedicine practice through the pandemic. We talk through an average patient's journey from working with a clinician, to their guide, to journaling, to tripping at home, and we talk through why psychedelics are so effective at treating conditions ranging from generalized anxiety and depression to PTSD.
