A 21-day self-directed digital course (DIPP) was co-designed to improve psychedelic preparation. The intervention, built on a four-factor model of psychedelic preparedness, was developed through two mixed-methods studies: interviews with 19 past high-dose psilocybin retreat attendees and co-design workshops with 28 current retreat participants. The course includes daily meditation, weekly module exercises, and mood tracking. The authors suggest DIPP offers a scalable, comprehensive tool to enhance safety and therapeutic benefits by addressing knowledge, psychophysical readiness, safety planning, and intention.
