Dr. Shereen Mohsen explains how traditional talk therapy can be hindered by a person's emotional

"protectors," which are defenses like denial that help them function but can also prevent them from addressing core issues. '

Psychedelics help to lower these protectors, promoting greater openness and a sense of safety. This can accelerate therapeutic work by helping clients release emotions they've been avoiding.

Psychedelics also enhance empathy and compassion for oneself and one's partner, leading to a deeper connection. This process helps couples confront their feelings and freely express them, which is often a significant challenge.
