How Does Psilocybin Help Clients With Trauma?
Psychedelics, like psilocybin, enhance neuroplasticity and allow the brain to form new connections, which may help clients to:
​
-
Process traumatic memories
-
Increase emotional empathy
-
Feel more connected
​
These and other responses to psilocybin may help people who have experienced trauma work through those difficult memories and emotions and find a new perspective.
