1:57:57 - 2:07:43 (09:46)
The podcast discusses the significance of training study participants for psychedelic therapy sessions to better prepare users for the sometimes scary and unsettling experiences that can occur during these treatments. Researchers typically provide preparatory sessions to build up rapport between patients and guides, who will be there to help during the session itself.

Preparatory sessions for psilocybin therapy involve building rapport between the guides and the participant and discussing their life, while also preparing them for the psilocybin experience and how to handle it.

Summary
Preparatory sessions for psilocybin therapy involve building rapport between the guides and the participant and discussing their life, while also preparing them for the psilocybin experience and how to handle it. The aim is to create a better model for what it would be like if psilocybin is approved as medicine for the average participant, who may not have an interest in psychedelics but instead wants to quit smoking.
