Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Psychedelic Conversations in Massage Therapy
Suz Vera Burroughs, M.S., Ed., BCTMB
As massage therapists, we often find ourselves on the frontline of complex discussions about emerging health topics when other providers are inaccessible, time-constrained, or show little interest. The landscape surrounding psychoactive substances is shifting, spurred by research presented in popular documentaries and reform movements that have piqued interest in their potential benefits. When clients broach the subject of psychedelic substances during sessions, massage therapists need to stay within our scope of practice, be aware of legal implications, and follow harm reduction best practices.
