Hands up who knows about psilocybin therapy? This week you’re going to hear about my incredible self-love journey with the psychedelic medicine and how horrendously hard it was — how it pushed/pulled/expanded me in all manner of directions — and how it has since emerged as one of the most promising and impactful/spiritual treatments I’ve ever had on my journey to overcome grief and trauma.

The compounds in Magic mushroom are said to increase brain connectivity in people with severe depression — and based on my one-off experience, I feel it helped me out of a rut, in a way that other therapies just never have/never could.

Fast facts:

* Mushrooms/Psilocybin can have both positive and negative physical and psychological effect

* It’s not naturally addictive

* It can help heal trauma but a trip can also trigger a psychotic episode

* If you have a pre-disposition to psychosis, likely you’ll have an increased risk of an adverse psychiatric reaction (though this can just happen to you as a short term experience and isn’t necessarily a symptom of mental illness - but be careful, please!) 🤍
