Out of curiosity, have they tried macro-dosing to be ineffective?

Ie instead of ongoing microdosing, having a 2-3g experience once or twice.

I have very little faith in main stream psychiatric care to provide anything other than blunt palliative options (often with lethal conseuences).

They have not yet, because we haven't found a way to provide a safe environment for this person to be in that can be sustained long enough to cover the entire experience. Providing safety would include alleviating their responsibilities, which includes child care, so that gets pretty complex.

Understood. Wishing you an afternoon and the support needed soon.

Also really glad you have found relief with microdosing!
