Psychedelics for Mental Health Tx

[reeay]

It may well be helpful as a tool to get people off of other substances but I don't see how it would actually solve anything. Rather just another way of dealing with the obvious symptoms or surface issues; such as mental illnessnes and/or substance abuse.

It doesn't exactly teach people how to (literally) embody themselves or the ability to become aware of their energy field/emotional states and learning how to remain fully and caringly present with themselves, in their body, while processing difficult emotions. It's the only way to actually heal from deep seated issues, as far as I can tell. And I think that kind of guidance can only be offered by well-experienced and skilled people.

Those things are inclusive if it's part of a therapeutic process. The psychedelics themselves act as a way to create an opening space (gateway) to get in touch with certain issues that are very challenging to touch upon during 'normal' states. When we process our disturbing & distressing issues, it's quite natural for a person to become more mindful - to be present in their bodies in the moment. That's a natural progression as people heal.

Without aid (e.g., relaxation techniques, ego-strengthening, psychedelics, bi-hemispheric stimulation, etc.) people may become highly distressed & emotionally flood- like some people will go into baby mode and rock themselves while being totally unresponsive to your attempt to communicate. The techniques that are used to treat trauma will typically help people to enter into states where they will not be flooded. Unless you find a optimal level of distress, you can't really do anything bc you haven't gotten the safety and security to explore something disturbing & distressing.

As for addiction, I'm actually not so much knowledgable of how these psychedelics are used. Same thing tho, if given that gateway to explore people may engage in self understanding & acceptance.
