Practitioner perspectives on extended difficulties and optimal support strategies following psychedelic experiences: a qualitative analysis

Our findings highlight the need for trauma-informed, cross-disciplinary approaches to psychedelic integration. Ensuring access to ethical, evidence-based support-both clinical and community-based-is important for further developing harm reduction strategies as psychedelic use expands in the western world. Future research should explore culturally diverse integration practices and inform therapeutic protocols for mitigating post-psychedelic distress.
