Roseman, L., Haijen, E., Idialu-Ikato, K., Kaelen, M., Watts, R., &
Carhart-Harris, R. (2019). "Emotional breakthrough and psychedelics:
validation of the Emotional Breakthrough Inventory." J
Psychopharmacol; Epub July 11th. Background: Psychedelic therapy is
gaining recognition and the nature of the psychedelic experience
itself has been found to mediate subsequent long-term psychological
changes. Much emphasis has been placed on the occurrence of
mystical-type experiences in determining long-term responses to
psychedelics yet here we demonstrate the importance of another
component, namely: emotional breakthrough. Methods: Three hundred and
seventy-nine participants completed online surveys before and after a
planned psychedelic experience. Items pertaining to emotional
breakthrough were completed one day after the psychedelic experience,
as were items comprising the already validated Mystical Experience
Questionnaire and the Challenging Experience Questionnaire. Emotional
breakthrough, Mystical Experience Questionnaire and Challenging
Experience Questionnaire scores were used to predict changes in
well-being (Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale) in a subsample
of 75 participants with low well-being baseline scores (45). Results:
Factor analyses revealed six emotional breakthrough items with high
internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.932) and supported our prior
hypothesis that emotional breakthrough is a distinct component of the
psychedelic experience. Emotional breakthrough scores behaved
dose-dependently, and were higher if the psychedelic was taken with
therapeutic planning and intent. Emotional breakthrough, Mystical
Experience Questionnaire and Challenging Experience Questionnaire
scores combined, significantly predicted subsequent changes in
well-being (r=0.45, p=0.0005, n=75), with each scale contributing
significant predictive value. Emotional breakthrough and Mystical
Experience Questionnaire scores predicted increases in well-being and
Challenging Experience Questionnaire scores predicted less increases.
Conclusions: Here we validate a six-item 'Emotional Breakthrough
Inventory'. Emotional breakthrough is an important and distinct
component of the acute psychedelic experience that appears to be a key
mediator of subsequent longer-term psychological changes. Implications
for psychedelic therapy are discussed. [Available in free full text on

The authors also noted: For the 379 participants, the mean EBI scores
was 43±31.5. The mean MEQ score was 57±22.63. The mean CEQ score was
19.7±16.4 … As predicted, EBI scores significantly (positively)
correlated with (estimated) drug dose … Baseline ratings of
therapeutic intention and ratings of willingness to confront difficult
emotions significantly correlated (positively) with EBI scores …
Participants who endorsed the view that the setting for their
experience was designed with a therapeutic objective in-mind had
higher EBI scores (EBI=47.9±30.1, n=144) than those who felt the
setting for their experience was not therapeutic in nature or design
(EBI=31.6±29.1, n=168).
This is a very interesting study. It’s helpful to note several points.
The authors found that the Emotional Breakthrough Inventory (EBI)
added to our ability to predict the extent of overall benefit likely
to be produced by a psychedelic experience (over and above prediction
from the Mystical Experience Questionnaire & the Challenging
Experience Questionnaire) … but this usefulness of the EBI was
particularly demonstrated in a selected sub-section of the 379
participants who took the online survey. This sub-section of 75
participants were the 20% with the lowest initial well-being scores.
EBI scores were also likely to be more relevant for those who took
higher psychedelic doses, specifically with personal therapeutic
intentions & willingness to work with difficult emotions, and in an
environment that was designed for therapeutic support.
So, the take-home message (from this & other research) seems to be –
if I go into a high-dose psychedelic trip with low well-being, then
I’m more likely to encounter challenging emotional experiences. A
readiness to face & work with these challenging emotions, especially
if I have therapeutic support, means that they may well transform into
breakthrough experiences that lead to welcomed, long-term gains.
