Summary

This study tests whether psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms in adults who have survived intimate partner violence. 76 participants will receive either a high dose (25 mg) or a low dose (1 mg) of psilocybin, then attend weekly therapy sessions. The goal is to see if this approach improves PTSD, depression, anxiety, and quality of life over 6 months.
