“… experiencing challenges during ayahuasca sessions was not significantly correlated with any long-term psychological benefits. This suggests that the difficulties encountered during these sessions do not inherently result in personal development or improvement in psychological well-being, which contrasts with some anecdotal claims and previous smaller-scale studies suggesting that overcoming psychedelic-induced challenges could foster significant personal insights and growth.”
