Spoiler: Probably not. But people do have fascinating memory experiences under psychedelics that warrant careful study and may be very relevant for therapeutic use. And that's why I'm busy studying them!

Surprising and concerning that though the authors do mention the importance of "not guiding towards confirmation or denial", they have no problem declaring (including in the title of a scientific paper!) that for both these two patients it was in fact "emergence of dissociated traumatic memories".
