094 | When Psychedelics Make Things Worse: Navigating Integration Challenges & "Ego Whiplash"


Listen Later

Psychedelics don’t always make things better. Jesse’s psychedelic ego death experience cracked Jesse open to feel deeply, which was a new experience for her. After the love and bliss from the experience faded, she was left to process a lifetime worth of repressed pain. 

Jesse went through challenges such as ego whiplash, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and depression for months after her psychedelic experience. But it's not all bad: she was able to harness this challenging time as a point of transformation. In this episode, she is sharing the depth of her experience with us, and how she managed to come out on the other side.


Topics Covered:

  • Jesse’s mindset and intentions before her challenging 5-MeO-DMT experience
  • The core “unlovable” wound Jesse healed during her experience
  • Slipping into a depression and panic during integration
  • Opening the floodgates and processing a lifetime of repressed pain
  • Coping when coping mechanisms no longer works
  • Ego whiplash after an ego death
  • Holding space for yourself during a challenging integration period
  • Enlisting support + resources and tools to help
  • Open-heartedness on the other side
  • Addressing habits and lifestyle changes during challenging integration
  • Encouragement to keep going if you’re having a challenging integration period
