Mauro Frigerio - Expanded Access from the inside: A First Hand Experience

Expanded access for psychedelic therapy in Switzerland offers a legal, therapeutic environment for substance-assisted sessions. These sessions utilize MDMA and LSD at three-month intervals and have demonstrated therapeutic efficacy for patients, including those addressing trauma. Participants engage in structured group or individual sessions that incorporate relaxation exercises and specific music to support the therapeutic process. Personal experience with this program enabled direct confrontation with psychological issues in a safe setting. The structure of these sessions, which involve long periods of silence followed by music, facilitates internal work and reflection. This controlled approach provides a framework for patients to process experiences safely, ultimately helping individuals integrate therapeutic insights into their daily lives and foster a greater sense of well-being.
