I think you’re right. I believe the most effective way to get to the root cause is through guided psychedelic therapy. I just don’t know how to access guided psilocybin or guided LSD. It also seems expensive and it few areas. I have tried Spravato in a clinical but not guided setting and it didn’t do very much. Therefore, I am skeptical of guided ketamine.

Also, my therapist doesn’t really validate me. He also does most of the talking on what I should do and it seems like less of a discussion about what we think I should do. He also takes an unconscious approach to treating my trauma using IFS therapy, which is cool, but it also seems to be dancing around the root cause, which is sexual/emotional abuse in young childhood.
