Practitioners who support people after psychedelic experiences report that extended difficulties can include emotional distress, existential confusion, and challenges reintegrating into daily life. Optimal support strategies involve creating a safe, non-judgmental space, providing psychoeducation, and offering ongoing integration support. The findings suggest that tailored, compassionate care is essential for helping individuals navigate post-psychedelic challenges.
