Pursuing his Bachelor's degree in Applied Psychology at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), David is exploring the nuanced intersections of psychology, meditation, and psychedelics through both academic projects and personal meditation practice. His journey began with a literature review of the effects of psychedelics on the Default Mode Network, sparking a curiosity about their potential therapeutic effects. Involved in a DMT study, David, as an intern, supported research on the effects of meditating on psychedelics, laying the groundwork for his thesis on their combined effects on psychological flexibility. Eager to delve deeper, he aims to contribute to the development of ethical, accessible psychedelic-assisted therapies, emphasizing the importance of preparation, supervision, and integration.
