Recovering memories under MDMA or psychedelics and the impact of The Tell, a few scattered thoughts and observations: kangaslampi.net/the-tell-and...

Spoiler: Probably not. But people do have fascinating memory experiences under psychedelics that warrant careful study and may be very relevant for therapeutic use. And that's why I'm busy studying them!

Can you really remember your birth on #LSD?

My talk on memory experiences under #psychedelics, given at Breaking Convention 2025 in Exeter, UK, back in April, now publicly available on YouTube!

In lovely Tbilisi, Georgia, for the #ESTSS2025 conference, presenting a poster on recall of potentially traumatic events under #psychedelics and meeting old and new colleagues. Come say hi! @estss.bsky.social

Surprising and concerning that though the authors do mention the importance of "not guiding towards confirmation or denial", they have no problem declaring (including in the title of a scientific paper!) that for both these two patients it was in fact "emergence of dissociated traumatic memories".

Yeah, reading this does nothing to assuage my own concerns that such a view could be spreading to the clinical realm. For real, let's please not start doing psilocybin-assisted recovered-memory therapy.

We are excited to announce the launch of Acta Psychedelica, a fully open-access, peer-reviewed, and non-profit journal dedicated to interdisciplinary psychedelic research. Run by researchers in the field, the journal aims to foster rigorous and open scientific discourse on psychedelics.
