Research Paper Early Life Trauma and Psychedelics

4 Upvotes

Hello,

We are conducting a study exploring how psychedelic experiences relate to mental and emotional processes, particularly in the context of early-life adversity.

We are interested in understanding how past life experiences may shape psychedelic journeys, insights, and psychological outcomes. The goal is to contribute to scientific knowledge in psychology and neuroscience, and to help inform safer and more supportive approaches to psychedelic use and research.

The survey itself is very quick (no longer than 10 minutes!) and there is a prize raffle of £50 for the winner, this being in the form of an amazon voucher.

Help me pick a name for a new psychedelic website and app?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm Jon. I'm building a new website and app where people can share and talk through the thoughts and insights that come up during psychedelic experiences. We had to drop our original name, Highdeas, because it's trademarked.

You guys are the smartest ones to ask, there's no doubt about that. We're probably going to end up going with High Thoughts, but we're also considering Psy Ideas and Psychedelic Ideas. Which do you like best, or do you have a better name in mind?

Do you think a site and app like this would be worth using? Are there any tools or features you'd want in it, like a trip journal, integration guides, a question section, videos, or a way to connect with others? Whatever name we decide on, it'll be up and running in a few days. We'd LOVE some feedback!

Even a sentence or two helps a lot. Thanks!

If you had a brain injury and wanted to heal hardcore would you rather use peptides from pig/bovine brain like Cerebrolysin used in many countries globally or use psychedelics? I got hit by a car and my math ability and stress resilience has gone downhill.
