Part 3
Psychedelic as experience that when experienced, seems to help people profoundly more often than it harms people irreparably
Although working on many different parts and systems in the brain, some overlapping with serotonergic psychedelics, some not, the experience and its effects have been studied consistently for over 100
As someone who underwent ketamine therapy for several months and saw a lasting effect I would say absolutely, 100%. Not only did it eliminate my trauma triggers for a long time after, it also provided a safe time and space that I could use to explore my inner intricacies and memories in a way that was supportive of healing. I was (and always have been) in a place where I didn’t feel safe anywhere or anytime, save for that hour when I was hooked up to the IV and in my own inner world. It was like dreaming but more coherent and clear. And to me that was extremely valuable.
