TARA4BPD is excited to announce our sponsorship of a new study investigating Therapeutic Effects of Psilocybin for the Treatment of BPD with Mentalization Based Therapy as Treatment during study.This cutting edge psychedelic study may be the most important, ground-breaking research yet to be done for BPD. It will be the first to focus on alleviating the existential distress, despair, and negativity that characterizes BPD mental states and perceptions. The Inclusion of Mentalization Based Therapy with psilocybin based treatment will help develop trust, connection, safety, and the ability to learn and reframe perceptions.

PSYCHEDELICS Promote Neural Plasticity which can change the brain, facilitating the ability to learn, reframe habitual modes of thinking, change the default mode network (DMN).

The scientific community is highly interested in the clinical utility of psychedelics based on promising results from treatment of a wide range of intractable, transdiagnostic psychiatric disorders. They have dramatically improved quality of life, reduced existential distress and depression and seems to have an acute and potentially long-lasting impact on an individual's sense of identity.

This study will be life changing for those with BPD. It will give them the opportunity to improve their lives in a way that no other treatment thus far has been able to accomplish.

 

As family members,
you know what a difference this study can make!

You have all been deeply impacted by BPD and, by now, know how BPD is discriminated against. It is the most neglected, stigmatized, and misunderstood of all mental disorders. You are aware of the constant pain, grief, and unhappiness the person you love lives with and have felt powerless to help. You realize your love one never feels safe, doesn’t trust others, and is trapped in cycles of self-destructive rumination. You can see the difficulty they have in experiencing positive feelings or in accessing memories of their own positive experiences.

How Can You Help?

  • TARA4BPD strongly believes that Psychedelics can reduce existential distress and dramatically improve BPD quality of life. We believe this study is the answer we have been searching for over the past 28 years. We recognize the strong need to improve current interventions for BPD and are dedicated and determined to do all we can to change this negative prognosis.

  • TARA4BPD is committed to raising the $1,000,000. needed to fund this study. Since our founding in 1995, we have never held a fundraiser. This will be our first fundraising effort, this one that really counts!
