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