From Sage Clinical Psychologist Elowyn Samadhi PhD. (formerly Amanda Khan):
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating, chronic disorder and efficacy rates of current PTSD treatments are underwhelming.
This publication provides an overview of trauma and PTSD and cites literature providing converging evidence of the therapeutic potential of psilocybin for PTSD, including findings from several clinical trials that show preliminary efficacy in facilitating confronting traumatic memories, decreasing emotional avoidance, depression, anxiety, pessimism, and disconnection from others; and increasing acceptance, self-compassion, and forgiveness of abusers, all of which are relevant to PTSD recovery.
