I authored an article titled "The Qualities of Music During a Psychedelic Psychotherapy Session" for Entheoscope Magazine, exploring the profound role of music in guiding therapeutic journeys during psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. This piece was inspired by a program I completed with Wavepaths titled 'Music for/as Therapy'. The piece bridges academic research with practical insights for psychotherapists and researchers.

Over several weeks, I conducted an in-depth review of clinical and university studies, analyzing tools such as fMRI scans and subjective experience surveys. I worked to condense information heavy with research jargon and complex data sets into something digestable and practical for professionals (i.e. psychotherapists) to work with. Throughout the process, I collaborated with an editor with frequent check ins and incorporated feedback from professionals in the field to ensure the article’s scientific rigor and practical relevance.

Music as the dominant sensory stimulus in therapy, guiding patients’ healing journeys.

Evidence-based insights into the neurobiological and subjective effects of music during altered states of consciousness.

Practical advice for psychotherapists on optimizing music selection in a person-centered manner.

The article provided actionable insights for professionals, contributing to the growing body of knowledge in psychedelic-assisted therapy. It was well-received by Entheoscope’s audience of researchers and therapists, strengthening the magazine’s reputation for thought leadership in the field.
