Support seeking is conceptualized as a phenomenon that is co-constructed during conversation with support providers.

... for an example). Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) originates from mathematics and physics. DST studies the functioning and the change of dynamic systems ( Haken, 2010 ; Kelso, 1995 ). Specifically, a system is dynamic if its constitutive interrelated elements change over time ( Deboek, 2013 ; Hollestein, 2012...

Through a complex systems theory perspective, we suggest that psychedelics destabilize fixed points or attractors, breaking reinforced patterns of thinking...
