Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) #

Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) combines a therapeutic-dose empathogen with counseling to support more rapid emotional processing, parts work, and healing.

5-MAPB #

I recommend 5-MAPB (5-(N-methyl-2-aminopropyl)benzofuran), a legal, unscheduled empathogen with a pharmacological profile similar to MDMA.¹ Like MDMA, 5-MAPB promotes feelings of emotional openness, empathy, and reduced fear creating a window in which difficult material becomes more accessible. 5-MAPB is also less physically stimulating than MDMA—a good fit for the sedentary, seated work of a talk-therapy session.²

You can source 5-MAPB from Advanced Myco (PLÜR Beyond Molly Heart Tabs), an American supplier that publishes third-party Certificates of Analysis (COAs). See the manufacturer’s product page for the latest COA; a sample COA from January 2026 is available here.

How a Session Works #

A PAT session typically unfolds in three phases:

1. Preparation — We meet beforehand (standard counseling session) to set intentions, review your history, and address any concerns.
2. Medicine session — You self-administer your chosen dose. The experience lasts 4–6 hours. I hold space via video conferencing while you remain safely in your own home. Doses in PLÜR tablets:
   • 3 tablets (~75 mg) — Light
   • 4 tablets (~100 mg) — Moderate
   • 5 tablets (~125 mg) — Standard
3. Integration — We resume regular counseling sessions.

To allow adequate neurological recovery, medicine sessions are spaced at least 3 months apart.³

Contraindications #

I am not a doctor and cannot provide medical advice. Please review the manufacturer’s product page for safety information and consult your physician before proceeding: Advanced Myco — PLÜR Beyond Molly.

Legal Status #

5-MAPB is not scheduled under the US Controlled Substances Act as of April 2026. It is sourced domestically. You are responsible for understanding applicable law in your own jurisdiction.

Cost #

I charge my usual hourly rate. Most PAT programs charge $1,000–$3,000 or more per session; at my standard rate, this is among the most affordable PAT options available. You can schedule 4–5 consecutive hours to span the duration of the effects.

FAQ #

What about other psychedelics?

Some people pursue therapeutic work with other psychedelics, such as psilocybin, ketamine, or LSD. I have opinions about that. If you’re curious, it’s worth raising in a session so we can talk it through together.

What if I’ve never done psychedelics before?

That’s fine—many clients are first-timers. Unlike some PAT-trained therapists who boldly guide sessions with no firsthand experience, I bring extensive personal experience with a range of psychedelics.⁴

Can I do this if I’m on antidepressants or other medications?

Possibly, but this requires medical guidance. Some medications (notably SSRIs and other serotonergic drugs) can interact with psychedelics. I am not a medical doctor. Please discuss your specific medications with your psychiatrist or physician.
