Examining differences in the effects and contexts of naturalistic psilocybin use for White participants vs. participants of Color: A longitudinal online survey study
This study used data from a large, online longitudinal study of individuals who planned to engage in naturalistic psilocybin use. We used mixed-effects models to assess whether race/ethnicity (White vs. Participant of Color) moderated outcomes related to mental health.
Shame, guilt and psychedelic experience: Results from a prospective, longitudinal survey of real-world psilocybin use
The experience of self-conscious emotions with psychedelics has been explored minimally, but further study in this area may have far-reaching implications for psychological health. The activation of shame-related experiences with psychedelics may pose a unique and context-dependent learning condition for both therapeutic and detrimental forms of shame-related memory reconsolidation.
