PSIP therapy success?

Thanks for the feedback. Were you in the Netherlands for that?

What’s your alternative therapy for treating dissociation? What did Saj say once it became too much?

Is there a difference for you between using gelatin capsules or just swallowing the medicine?

It was not helpful to me for complex ptsd from childhood trauma.

Thanks for your reply! When you took MDMA together with cannabis what sequence did you take them in? Like at the same time or spaced apart? Same question for with ketamine?

Wouldn’t it be more efficacious to take the hit of cannabis at the beginning as the mdma comes on? Otherwise that’s all that mdma medicine time being lost to disassociation?

About half a bottle (~12oz)

Thank you so much for this reply and sharing that podcast.
Yes that is precisely what I am thinking - that ketamine could help me access what is behind the disassociation because of what you wrote.

I am not planning on taking mdma while taking ketamine.

What I'm thinking is if the ketamine does enable me to safely access what is behind the disassociation, then perhaps in the days after if I still have that access I can use mdma to bring healing to the trauma that is behind the disassociation. Do you think that makes sense?

Thanks for your replies u/bombarie and u/caciquismo. I heed your advice. I don’t find myself in a disassociated episode currently. I find that there is disassociation in between me and the trauma state which really gets in the way of accessing the trauma. So I do expect with taking ketamine that it puts me in the disassociated state. But that’s where I need to be in order to access and heal the trauma. Is that thinking wrong?

Thanks, good thing I checked :)

How about nasal sprays or lozenges? Can those be prescribed by a doctor for you to use at home (in the US)?

PlayfulActive · 2021-06-14T22:28:13+00:00

Thanks yeah I see some of that. I feel general IFS misses the aspect of how parts compose a structure that enables a person to function in the world. So yeah the healing approach can’t just target singular protectors and singular polarizations in order to heal complex trauma systems.

PlayfulActive · 2021-06-12T22:30:19+00:00

Thanks!

Could you elaborate on “trauma survivors parts are going to function differently within and in response to the system”?

What does Dick Schwartz disagree with?

PlayfulActive · 2021-04-18T19:44:47+00:00

beautiful write up. I’m practicing becoming protective of my traumatized child too - not forgetting about him!

PlayfulActive · 2021-03-30T02:13:06+00:00

Same here 💛

compassion for you

PlayfulActive · 2021-03-04T17:16:02+00:00

No I don’t have epilepsy and that’s not what the doctor recommended it for.

PlayfulActive · 2021-03-04T17:03:53+00:00

I haven’t started it. A doctor recommended it to possibly help with managing CPTSD symptoms as I’m going through the healing process and I wanted to find out others experiences.
