Exploring Shame and Guilt in Psilocybin Experiences
Psilocybin use is often associated with mystical and transformative experiences, but what about the challenging emotions that arise? This study reveals that feelings of shame and guilt are common during psilocybin experiences, affecting nearly 70% of users. While some experience long-term reductions in shame, others may struggle with increased feelings. The key to positive outcomes lies in the ability to work through these emotions constructively. These findings have significant implications for psychedelic therapy, retreats, and mental health applications.
