Reports of self-compassion and affect regulation in psilocybin-assisted therapy for alcohol use disorder: An interpretive phenomenological analysis

This qualitative study (n=13) aimed to investigate the psychological mechanisms of change in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy (PAT) for alcoholism (AUD). Participants reported that psilocybin treatment helped them process emotions related to past events, promoting self-compassion, self-awareness, and feelings of interconnectedness, which laid the foundation for better regulation of negative emotions and improved quality of relationships. The study suggests that integrating self-compassion training with psychedelic therapy may enhance psychological outcomes in treating AUD.
