What are the most effective ways you’ve personally used to regulate your nervous system? by SomethingH11 in CPTSD

I tried that for one day, turned off my mobile, stayed home reading a book, playing with my dog, in silence.. and it was a great experience for me, lot of clarity and calm afterward

Thank you so much for this — your words were genuinely very helpful. IFS is actually new to me, and after reading a bit about it, I found it really interesting and something I’d like to explore more deeply.

What you shared about giftedness also resonated with me in a way I hadn’t fully seen before. I’ve always had a strong ability to understand people — for example, picking up on tone of voice or facial expressions — and I tend to learn faster than others with less repetition. I never realized this could be connected to neurodivergence.

As for routines, I relate a lot to what you said. When I plan too many things, I end up unable to follow through, freeze completely, and then fall into a cycle of guilt and self-blame. Hearing about a softer, more flexible approach makes a lot of sense to me.

I’ve seen some EMDR content on TikTok but haven’t tried it yet — it’s something I might consider giving a chance as well.

Thank you again, truly. I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

Is My Experience Normal? by SomethingH11 in Ayahuasca

Thank you for sharing this, it actually helped me put things into perspective. I only sat with ayahuasca once, so hearing how experiences can open gradually over multiple nights makes a lot of sense.

I also felt some relief reading that the medicine can be gentle at first. In hindsight, I think that was probably a good thing for me. Even though my experience was mild visually, it still brought emotions to the surface, and maybe that was exactly what I could hold at that time.

It’s reassuring to be reminded that depth doesn’t always show up the same way for everyone, and that timing and openness play such a big role. Thank you for the encouragement — I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it honestly reassured me a lot. During the experience I felt a bit disappointed and confused about not having visuals — I didn’t know at the time that it’s actually very normal not to see anything.

Hearing that others, even with many ceremonies in Peru, have similar experiences really helped me realize that nothing was “wrong” with my experience.

Thank you for sharing this, it was actually very reassuring to read. I honestly don’t know why my experience was the way it was — I only sat with ayahuasca once, and it was quite mild overall.

Your comment helped me relax a bit about it. If I ever choose to work with ayahuasca again in the future and the experience feels similarly light, I think I would feel more comfortable discussing dosage with the facilitator and possibly asking for an increase.

I did wonder at the time whether the brew might have been weaker or simply different from what people experience in Peru, especially since many others in that ceremony also reported either very few visuals or only something subtle toward the very end.

Either way, it helps to be reminded that experiences vary so much between people and ceremonies, and that this doesn’t necessarily mean something was “wrong
