Abstract

Highlights

• The psychological flexibility model can guide therapeutic use of psychedelics

• The processes of change engaged by psychedelics overlap with that model

• Changes in time, place, and person are central to the impact of psychedelics

• These data fit with a hierarchical deictic approach to the perspective-taking self

• A perspective-taking self may play a more central role in psychological flexibility
