Digital Prep Protocol

Digital Prep Protocol

A structured digital program combining guided meditation and curated music is being tested to prepare participants for psilocybin therapy, based on prior high-dose session data. The intervention standardizes “set and setting” before treatment, aiming to improve psychological readiness and reduce adverse experiences. If effective, this approach could scale psychedelic therapy safely by delivering preparation remotely and consistently.
