Spring has sprung, and with it comes a fresh burst of energy and excitement!
Lotte and I are thrilled to bring you the latest updates from FLO Coaching, where we're dedicated to guiding individuals through transformative psychedelic experiences.
In this newsletter, we'll share some exciting developments in the world of psychedelics, and give you a practical coaching exercise to help you align with your core values.
But before we dive in, we have a small request. If you know someone who might benefit from our services, please don't hesitate to share FLO Coaching with them. Together, we can help more people unlock their potential and live their best lives.
π° Psychedelic Therapy Closer Than Ever
The world of psychedelic therapy is buzzing with exciting developments, and it seems that we're closer than ever to seeing these transformative treatments become a reality.
In fact, the FDA is expected to make a decision on the approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD by August of this year. This could be a major milestone in the field, paving the way for more widespread access to this promising treatment.
But that's not all. Two new companies have recently received breakthrough therapy status from the FDA, which means their treatments will be reviewed more quickly than usual. This is a clear sign that the medical community is recognizing the potential of psychedelic therapies.
However, it's important to keep in mind that even if these treatments are approved, they will likely come with a hefty price tag. Estimates suggest that psychedelic therapy could cost upwards of β¬10,000 per treatment.
Moreover, it may take 5 to 10 years before these therapies become available in Europe, as regulatory processes and healthcare systems vary from country to country.
But don't let that discourage you. While we wait for psychedelic therapy to become more accessible, there's another powerful tool at our disposal: psychedelic coaching.

π©βπ Define Your Values with the Bull's Eye Exercise
Now, let's talk about a practical tool that can help you prepare for a psychedelic experience: the Bull's Eye values exercise.
This powerful tool, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), guides you through a reflection on your core values across four key domains: work, relationships, personal growth, and leisure.
By identifying what truly matters to you in these areas, you create a solid foundation and a North Star to guide you through the insights that may emerge during your psychedelic session.
The exercise begins with an open reflection on your deepest desires for how you want to live, relate, and grow. You'll then plot your current alignment with these values on a visual "dartboard," highlighting any gaps between your ideal and current state.
Finally, you'll identify obstacles and commit to action steps to help you live more in line with your clarified values.
