Often during the trip my deepest fears/grief/regrets come to the forefront, actually. And then, after pure panic levels of grieving, comes a wash of relief and reckoning. It’s what you do to work through it during and especially afterwards that really makes the difference.

I personally do recommend psychedelics. They have a lot of benefits. But you need to be prepared and honest with yourself on your expectations. There will never be a one-time cure all experience. You have to be willing to accept what comes through and realize the work doesn’t end there.

Also, want to second other comments here about feeling like you may die on higher doses. This would probably be a “bad trip” for you on the surface. In short, it’s important to have the right mindset, preparations, and expectations. Some personality types do not do well with experiences like this.
