September 17th: "Shine MindBody" studio in Nedlands. Facilitator: Jozay

Facilitators:

September circle:
Jozay Longden is a registered clinical psychologist with many years of experience providing psychological and psychotherapeutic services within Perth. Having graduated from Oxford University, she went on to obtain a Masters degree in Counselling from Notre Dame University and a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Murdoch University.

With an emphasis on how attachment experiences influence emotions, behaviour, autobiographical memory and narrative, Jozay applies an interpersonal neurobiology approach to help clients develop a healthy mind, an integrated brain, and empathic relationships.

One of Jozay’s interests includes the recent resurgence in the use of psychedelics as a healing modality for the treatment of trauma. As psychedelics are illegal she does not encourage psychedelic referrals, nor does she offer psychedelic therapy. However, she tailors therapy to meet the specific needs of her clients offers psychedelic integration therapy under a harm minimisation approach, and provides a supportive, and psychedelic-informed therapeutic flavour to her work.

Hey APS fam!

It's been some time since the last talk! For those of you who don’t know, Adrian and Jason are two junior psychiatry doctors interested in creating a dialogue in the psychedelic community in anticipation of the inevitable integration of psychedelics into the medical sphere - especially now given that psilocybin and MDMA have been approved for medical treatment of treatment resistant-depression and PTSD!

We're keen to do another talk, this time doing a dive into the mechanisms of what happens in our brains when on classical psychedelics, specifically covering the important pharmacology and neurology of psychedelics, and ultimately how it can be very helpful and healing.

Join us for this talk which will be a condensed review of our older talks and some of the latest papers aimed at the new folk who have joined the ranks! Of course everyone's welcomed and we'd love to hear all kinds of perspectives at discussion time!We'll start the talk at 6pm and it should go for about 45 minutes, followed by Q&A and casual chats after.

Look forward to seeing you there!
