It examines the theoretical underpinnings of DMT, its various applications across diverse populations, and the empirical evidence supporting its effectiveness. The article further discusses the mechanisms through which DMT promotes integration, including body awareness, emotional expression, and interpersonal connection. Finally, it highlights the challenges and future directions of DMT research and practice.
