Psychedelic Therapist Sexual Misconduct and Other Adverse Experiences Among a Sample of Naturalistic Psychedelic Users

Adverse events can increase the risks of psychological harm, legal problems, stigma, and public health issues. Therefore, it is essential to prevent, identify, manage, and treat adverse events during psychedelic experiences to ensure the safety and well-being of the participants and the facilitators, and create opportunities for "integration" even with unguided sessions.
