In an article published this February called “Can Microdosing Psychedelics Improve Your Relationship” Emily Kulpa and Kim Kuypers offer their professional opinion on the matter:
Emily Kulpa, head pharmacist at the Univeristy of Toronto Mississauga’s Psychedelics Studies Research Program asserts that a number of studies suggest that microdosing can increase openness, empathy, mood and life satisfactions. Due to these adjustments to one’s behavior, it ultimately improves relationships in that person’s life.
Offering more evidence, Kim Kuypers, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Maastricht University agrees that microdosing can lead to enhanced senses, positive mood, greater presence in the moment and improved-well-being.
Yes, Microdosing Improves Relationships
Overall, the consensus is that microdosing itself cannot fix a broken relationship or the internal problems within that bond between you and another person, however it can change your outlook on life and personal mood.
Microdosing offers a chance for you as your own person to improve your communication, openness and tolerance which in turn allows for communication to be easier and clearer with other individuals ultimately improving relationships.
