How is a psychotherapeutic process like a psychedelic drug? Neurocognitive evidence for a novel mechanism of action with Regenerating Images in Memory

Replicating prior pre-post RIM studies, nursing students reported symptom improvement. These changes co-occurred with altered consciousness and increased temporal-lobe brain activity, findings that are consistent with RIM's proposed mechanism of action based on TMT. Although this uncontrolled trial does not allow conclusions about treatment efficacy, RIM is a brief verbal psychotherapeutic intervention that merits further study.
