In a recent study, a group of scientists investigated adults who had been victims of childhood abuse. Through collecting data from various questionnaires, they compared symptoms of C-PTSD between those who had used psychedelics in an intentional therapeutic way, with those who hadn’t.

The scientists found that adults who had used psychedelics multiple times with therapeutic intent had lower scores on a DSO scale - a measure of C-PTSD core features including low self-worth, problems with regulating emotions, and difficulties in relationships. Their results also showed those who had an increased number of intentional psychedelic uses revealed decreased levels of self-shame, another common C-PTSD symptom.
