Integration of the Psychedelic Experience Among Brazilians: A Survey Study
< .01). Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses, supported by AI-assisted methods and reviewed by researchers, identified diverse integration strategies, including personal reflection and self-analysis, psychotherapy and professional support, spiritual and meditative practices, connection with nature, social sharing and support networks, personal and relational transformation, and difficulties in integration. This study contributes to understanding psychedelic integration processes in a culturally distinct context. Despite limitations related to sampling and cross-sectional design, the findings provide valuable insights for future research on the conceptualization, measurement, and cultural variability of psychedelic integration beyond the acute effects of these experiences.
