The potential synergistic effects between psychedelic administration and nature contact for the improvement of mental health
Health Psychology Open (2020)
Narrative review
Abstract
Reviews the overlapping psychological mechanisms of therapeutic psychedelic administration and nature contact: decreased rumination, enhanced connectedness and mindfulness, and heightened awe and transcendence. Proposes that nature-based settings can complement psychedelic therapy by consolidating feelings of connectedness and nature relatedness. Maximizing nature relatedness through psychedelic therapy may constitute an independent pathway toward mental health improvements.
