Reposted from Psychedelic Science Conference] From an article in PsyPost:
"The use of psychedelic drugs is associated with lower levels of complex posttraumatic stress symptoms and internalized shame in adults who suffered maltreatment in childhood, according to new research published in the journal Chronic Stress.

The researchers surveyed 166 English-speaking adults regarding childhood maltreatment, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and internalized shame.

Approximately 93% of participants scored in the severe range on at least one of the childhood maltreatment type subscales (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect), while approximately 31% reported a history of intentional therapeutic psychedelic use.

The researchers found that child maltreatment was associated with higher levels of both posttraumatic stress symptoms and internalized shame. Those with a history of intentional therapeutic psychedelic use, however, tended to report less symptoms associated with disturbances in self-organization, a cluster of complex trauma symptoms that is comprised of affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances in relationships."
