Support Our Cause
On February 24, the lives of all Ukrainians changed forever. Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, among many other terrible things, has brought severe psychological trauma to our lives.
I am the daughter of psychotherapist Zlata Zymovets, and I’m hereby writing on her behalf. She is the founder of this Centre, a psychiatrist, a therapist and a certified professional in legal psilocybin-assisted therapy in the Netherlands. And most importantly, she is Ukrainian.
My mom spent the first 3 weeks of war in the heavily bombed Mykolaiv, yet the horrors of war have not taken her heroism and kind heart away. She was able to get to the Netherlands, and now is providing psychotherapy to refugees there and counselling online. She does a lot of work for free, not wanting to take money from people who have already lost too much because of this war.
She also expressed a wish to provide free psilocybin-assisted therapy after the war for those Ukrainian war survivors who need it.
Psilocybin therapy has been proven to be both safe and effective for patients with PTSD, depression and addictions — and I think it is especially important that such therapy be provided by a trauma-informed therapist, such as my mother — for further information, please do visit other pages of this website: holisticentre.net.
I’ve decided to raise some money for her noble job. Her expenses for one full cycle of therapy per person would amount to 700€ without the cost of her work itself (plane tickets and accommodation in the Netherlands, psilocybin truffles from a certified provider, food & drinks for 5 days, etc). She plans to provide therapy to at least 30 people (hence the goal, 700×30=21000).
Zlata normally charges €2000 for such therapy. Other Dutch psilocybin therapists charge about twice as much as that. But under the circumstances I will only be asking to cover the expenses.
War is hell. War is traumatising. War is devastating. War is all kinds of horrors imaginable and unimaginable to the human mind. Help us minimise these horrors.
Thank you!
