Thanks for all the good work you guys are doing to change the public’s perception of these substances!

Are you aware of any studies investigating the efficacy of psychedelics in treating body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) disorders (e.g. trichotillomania, dermatillomania)? I suffer from both, and in all my experiences with psychedelics I’ve noticed that my urges to pick/pull disappear completely during and shortly after the trip.

I know there’s a good deal of research on treating OCD with psychedelics, but I haven’t seen any papers that dealt specifically with BFRB disorders.
