There is some interesting research[1] accounting for this via analogy to annealing: essentially that while using psychedelics (or a variety of other situations), a kind of disordering occurs that opens up an alternate phase of neural behavior where it's more possible to change course; then, after the trip (or whatever caused you to enter this more disordered state where free energy is higher), there is a "cooling" phase and some new order is arrived at.
