What were the numbers for people who just got therapy?

Meaning like a single therapy session? The answer is close to zero

No. The group that tripped once was getting regular therapy sessions both before and after. There should have been a control group getting the same amount of therapy, but the article makes no mention of their percentage rates.

Yeah, that is the key question. Not to mention that the headline is giving 100% of the 'credit' to the psilocybin.

Smells fishy to me.
