“The Emerging Lexicon of Psychedelic Therapy” is a conversation hosted by Jimmy Nguyen and Nicholas on the lack of continuity among common words and phrases used to discuss psychedelic therapy, and how different interpretations can lead to different expectations. 

Using their own experiences, they discuss “psychedelic therapy” as an umbrella term for guided psychedelic experience, and describe what it means to them. They analyze how context and standards help to define the specificity of therapy, and why it is so helpful to establish agreed-upon therapeutic language. 

The conversation covers Jimmy and Nicholas’ interpretations of different therapeutic psychedelic approaches and treatments. They describe how psychedelic experiences vary from clinical settings to international retreats, and explain the vocabulary that surrounds each option.

Later, they explain how to take matters into your own hands by defining what therapeutic healing looks like to you. How do you navigate a landscape that hasn’t been fully paved yet? How can you name and describe the exact type of psychedelic experience that you’re looking for?
