Bear with me, Alex ;-). I had just been looking at a synopsis of a study when I saw your article asking for questions. I have to go back and find what I was looking at so I can feed it to you to cover that specific question. It may have been about an attempt to wrap quantification around the integration experience (post-psychedelic therapy).

In general, I would love to hear your opinion about what I consider a challenge of psychology-related science/research, the attempt to quantify qualitative experiences. I think that strays into the area of consciousness, not just psychology. I tend to come from a nondualistic, “consciousness first” perspective (as a response to the “hard question of consciousness”). I feel like psychology is built around personal experience, and the need to try to build a traditional science around it forces a somewhat false reductiveness. Sometimes resulting in a devaluing of anecdotal experience.

None of what I just put may fall in an area in which you have interest, which I totally get. It also may not have made much sense. ;-) I’ll look for specific psychedelic-related research and questions and hit you up.
