Antidepressants, psilocybin, and the neuroscience of real recovery. All in one place.
Coming off antidepressants is harder than anyone told you. This program gives you the science, the support, and the tools to do it well.
Get The Course
A structured 18-week group program covering everything you wanted to know: the neuroscience of antidepressants, how, when and why to taper (and when not to), microdosing psilocybin as stepping stone therapy, clinical neuroscience of how the brain rewires, and the whole-health foundations that make the process possible.
For people ready to come off antidepressants. And for practitioners supporting them.
Most people on antidepressants were not told they would be temporary. Life happened, prescriptions renewed, and years passed. Coming off is not as simple as just stopping, and most prescribers do not have the time, training, or tools to help you do it well.
Bloom fills that gap. Over 18 weeks, you will get the neuroscience behind what antidepressants actually do to the brain, what the research says about psilocybin and microdosing as a stepping stone through the taper process, a full bottom up brain science toolkit to support neuroadaptation, and natural remedies to create a healthy foundation covering sleep, nutrition, movement, and supplementation that determines how tolerable the process actually is.
It runs as a live group, which means you are learning alongside people going through the same thing, not watching videos alone. The community is part of the medicine.
Bloom is right for you if...
- You have been on antidepressants for years and want to come off, but every time you try it falls apart.
- You are a practitioner: coach, therapist, clinician, working with clients navigating this, and you are wanting more guidance.
- You know psilocybin is part of your path but you are not sure how to use it safely alongside or after medication.
- You have tried tapering before and it went badly. You want to understand why and do it differently.
- You feel like the medication is keeping you flat. Functioning, but not fully alive, and you are ready to find your emotional range again.
- You want the neuroscience, not just the protocol. You want to understand what is happening in your body, not just follow instructions.
- You are not in crisis. You are ready to do the work.
Indications:
Migraines, Depression, Social Anxiety, Creativity and Workflow, ADHD/ADD, Chronic Pain, and Inflammatory Conditions.
Who Bloom is not for:
Bloom is not the right fit if you are currently in acute psychiatric crisis, have a history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, or are in a level of care that requires daily clinical support. It is also not the right fit if you are looking for a prescriber to manage your taper. Bloom runs alongside that relationship, not instead of it.
If you are not sure whether this is right for you, reach out before applying.
What you will leave with
What Bloom builds…
- A clear understanding of what antidepressants actually do, and how they were not designed to be a long-term therapy
- A personalized taper map built based on the latest research, versus the current guidelines that move too fast
- An optional microdosing protocol matched to your situation including how to use it as a stepping stone during the most difficult phases of taper
- Clinical neuroscience tools you can do in 15 minutes a day based on rebuilding the brain from the bottom up: reflex integration, breathing mechanics, and movement as neurological input
- Natural medicine foundation: sleep, fuel, nutrition guidelines, movement, and a supplement stack that supports the process rather than interfering with it
- The knowledge to distinguish withdrawal symptoms versus relapse versus neurological adjustment, so you can respond rather than panic
- A practitioner network and referral structure if you are a clinician building this into your practice
For practitioners specifically: A clinical framework for supporting tapering clients that goes well beyond what most training programs cover including the interaction safety table, the scope-of-practice model, and informed consent documentation.
Phase 1: The Medicated Brain and How We Got Here
Weeks 1- 4 Antidepressants were originally designed as a time-limited tool, 6 to 12 months, used alongside therapy. This phase covers how that changed, what SSRIs actually do at the receptor level, how the brain adapts over time, and why coming off is neurologically complex. We also introduce the nervous system framework you will use throughout Bloom, the survival language of the body.
Phase 2: Building the Foundation Before Taper Begins
Weeks 5-8 Most tapers fail when the right biological support is missing. This phase builds those conditions before we touch the taper process. What you do here is the difference between surviving the process and moving through it with some grace.
Phase 3: Psilocybin Science, Protocols, and a Stepping Stone Model
Weeks 9-12 Why psilocybin works differently than antidepressants at a receptor level, and what that means for how and when you use it. The full clinical picture, including what the research actually shows, what the interactions actually are, and how to build a taper plan that accounts for all of it.
Phase 4: Rebuilding from the Bottom Up
Weeks 13-16 The nervous system is not just a chemistry problem. This phase addresses the parts of neuroadaptation that supplementation and tapering alone cannot touch, and gives you a daily practice you will still be using long after the program ends.
Phase 5: Integration and the Road Ahead
Weeks 17-18 The taper does not end when the program does. This phase prepares you for the road ahead, how to read what your body is telling you, when to adjust, and what ongoing support actually looks like. For practitioners: the ethics and responsibility for clients

If you are between days 8 and 14 and have attended no more than one call, you are eligible for a 50% refund of what you have paid to date. After day 14, or once you have attended the Week 2 call, refunds are not available. If a medical or documented emergency arises at any point, reach out and we will handle it case by case.
If you are on a payment plan, refunds apply to amounts already paid and any remaining installments are cancelled. Refund requests are processed within 10 business days.
If you are unable to complete the program and do not qualify for a refund, you may request a transfer to a future cohort. Transfers are available once per participant, subject to availability, and must be requested at least 14 days before that cohort begins.
To request a refund or transfer, email info@dprill.com.
Bloom is not suitable for people currently in acute psychiatric crisis, with a history of psychosis, bipolar disorder, or active alcohol or benzodiazepine dependence, or who require full-time or intensive clinical support. If you are unsure, reach out before applying.
Bloom is educational and coaching in nature. Dr. Prill is not acting as your physician within the scope of this program. She does not diagnose, prescribe, or manage your clinical care here. If you want to work with her one-on-one, Inner Alchemy is the place for that, and it works well alongside or after Bloom.
All materials, worksheets, session recordings, and documents are accessible through Practice Better. You will receive login instructions after enrollment is confirmed.
Live calls run 90–105 minutes. Between-call work includes reading, tracking, short reflective exercises, and takes roughly 1–2 hours per week. The daily neurological practice introduced in Phase 4 takes 15 minutes. Bloom is designed to be integrated into a real life, not take from it.
Most people who have tried and struggled did so without an individualized taper plan, without addressing sleep and nutrition first, and without a stepping stone support strategy. Bloom addresses all of those gaps. A difficult prior experience is not a reason to stay on medication indefinitely, it is a reason to be better prepared, and to slow down the process.
Bloom is clinically substantive. The pharmacology and interaction content is drawn from peer-reviewed research. The scope-of-practice module is built around real licensing considerations. You will leave with a clinical framework, an informed consent template, and a taper monitoring structure you can use with clients. It is designed for practitioners who want depth, not just orientation.
Psilocybin’s legal status varies by state and country. Bloom provides education on psilocybin and microdosing, it does not source, supply, or recommend specific suppliers. You are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws applicable to you in your jurisdiction.
You do not need to have started the tapering conversation with a prescriber before enrolling. By Phase 3, you will need to have that conversation, and Bloom prepares you to have it well. If finding a supportive prescriber is a challenge, we address that directly.
Yes. Many people arrive at Bloom somewhere in the middle, wanting to understand their options, not yet ready to commit to a taper. The first phase of the program is entirely educational. You will not be asked to make any decisions before you have the information to make them well.
And to be clear: Bloom does not require you to taper, reduce, or ever come off your medication. Some people go through this program and decide to stay on their medication with more understanding of what it is doing. Some use the tools to feel better while they are still on it. Some eventually taper. All of those are valid outcomes. The goal is not medication-free, it is informed, supported, and not doing this alone.
No, we do not provide microdosing substances, nor do we endorse or recommend specific suppliers. It is important to research and source substances responsibly and legally, following the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction.
Microdosing should not be seen as a replacement for professional therapy or medical treatment. It is essential to approach microdosing as a complementary practice and to continue any ongoing treatments or therapies as recommended by your healthcare provider.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a microdosing regimen. Certain medical conditions or medications may contraindicate microdosing, and it is important to prioritize your safety and well-being.
All course materials are yours to keep. The videos will be accessible for two weeks after each live recording.
The classes will be 75-90 minutes long, and we’ll give you some experiential exercises and meditations to incorporate into your daily life during the week. You’ll be spending about two hours on course material per week in addition to any practical tools you decide to incorporate daily.
All materials will be accessible via PracticeBetter.
