‘So many relationships in the room’: Participant perspectives on the affordances and challenges of co-therapy in psychedelic assisted therapy

This longitudinal qualitative study (n=18) explored participants’ experiences of co-therapy, in which two therapists jointly support people receiving psilocybin-assisted therapy for generalised anxiety disorder. Participants described co-therapy as promoting safety, trust and therapeutic insights, while also influencing therapy processes and raising practical concerns about access and feasibility.
