PTSD and Magic Mushrooms.

Hi all,
I am reading these threads and thought I would share my experience. I was military and diagnosed with PTSD. I was prescribed all the meds and did all the things. Nothing worked for me. Talk therapy just keeps me in the trauma on a weekly basis. After my 1 hour session I was left with the rest of the week to relive everything over and over again. It was worthless. I saw a Netflix’s documentary on psilocybin magic mushrooms by Anderson Cooper. I thought I would try it. It was an amazing experience. 5 days all in-house and supervised. We all had to set our intentions up front so that our “trip” sitters would be able to guide us as we experienced the effects of LSD/psychedelics. My actual “tripping” wasn’t that great - I did a little. Others in my group did a lot. There were 8 of us from all over the world and all looking for something different.
For me the “after glow” was the best experience. I felt at peace for months - I felt connect to “Mother Earth” - I felt relived - stress free - healed even. That feeling does last unless you do the Mushrooms’s again. Some people I know microdose daily to keep the evils at bay. It is a great way to move past trauma and depression. I highly recommend it as long as it is supervised in house treatment.

One person in my group was Ana. She left the Ukraine the week prior to war breaking out and was unable to return. She lost her father and two brothers. She did the trip so she could revisit them and say good-bye. She laid there for 8 hours weeping and speaking with her family members. She got to say all the things she needed to and they to her. I don’t know if it is real but it was to her and she left a whole and complete person. For me: I don’t ruminate much anymore - the past is the past and I rarely speak of it. I give no energy to my past trauma. I still have panic attacks and other associated PTSD issues but you won’t catch me going to therapy to remember the past events.

Hope it helps - check out the Netflix documentary’s - good stuff
