Parents’ trauma leaves biological traces in children

There's a chance you have found the miracle drug, but everything I know and have read about seems to suggest that anything which impairs your judgment is not the solution.

Drugs aren't, alcohol isn't, etc.

What seems to work is... work. Working on yourself, trying to confront past traumas, talking to others about it, opening up. You know, the sucky parts that everyone hates to do.

Such a simplistic view of it. Psychedelics, when used properly, have a way of making your judgment very unimpaired. They can help one do everything you listed in your closing paragraph.

i tried shrooms and then 6 months later had deep insight

i’ve been dealing with low grade trauma for a long time so kept doing the work

i will never know if i finally put enough work or if going crazy on moderate shroom trip rewired the brain just enough to see

this stuff is so hard since personal experiences are hard? unwise to generalize.

yet, feeling better about existing is nice.

also recovery is always tenuous since life can deal you a hand that can break you and maybe your new healthy mindset can’t handle it.

yet, the old broken mindset would have at least kept you alive.

too young to comment on which it will be for me
