Naturalistic psychedelic experiences and gender-based self-acceptance in transgender and gender-expansive people
These observations may help mental health clinicians better support TGE people who use psychedelics. Clinicians should consider encouraging the preparation of a gender-affirming setting and mindset before psychedelic use and supporting potential shifts in gender understanding and self-acceptance after psychedelic use. Tailored educational resources for TGE people who engage with psychedelic substances in naturalistic settings are needed.
