Many psychedelic experiences are meaningful, but ineffable. Engaging in meaning-making regarding emerging symbolic content and changing previous schemas have been proposed as mechanisms of change in psychedelic therapy.
Firstly, we suggest the implementation of a Restorative Retelling (RR) technique to process and integrate the psychedelic experience into autobiographical memory, in a way that fosters meaning-making. We also show how ayahuasca has the potential to evoke key psychological content in survivors, during the process of grief adjustment following the death of a loved one.
The rationale for the implementation of RR to process psychedelic experiences and a case study of a woman suffering from Complicated Grief (CG) after her mother's suicide are presented.
Evaluations conducted before the ayahuasca experience and after RR suggest the effectiveness of ayahuasca and RR in reducing symptoms of CG and psychopathology.
This case report illustrates an effective adaptation of the RR technique for processing the psychedelic experience. The significance of the study and its limitations are discussed.
许多迷幻体验是有意义的，但难以言表。参与对新出现的象征内容进行意义构建并改变先前的模式，已被提出作为迷幻疗法中的改变机制。
首先，我们建议实施一种恢复性复述（RR）技术，以将迷幻体验处理并整合到自传体记忆中，从而促进意义构建。我们还展示了在亲人去世后的悲伤调适过程中，死藤水如何有可能唤起幸存者的关键心理内容。
介绍了实施RR来处理迷幻体验的理论依据以及一名女性在其母亲自杀后患有复杂性悲伤（CG）的案例研究。
在服用死藤水体验之前和RR之后进行的评估表明，死藤水和RR在减轻CG症状和精神病理学方面是有效的。
本病例报告说明了RR技术在处理迷幻体验方面的有效应用。讨论了该研究的意义及其局限性。
