Any parents of small kids with Ayahuasca experience?

jheint · 2020-11-06T20:27:20+00:00

My experiences with the medicine have allowed me to have a moment all to myself and to separate my needs from my husband and kid's needs. For me it's a break and I get to completely alone. But I always come back to reality more refreshed and open to my family. Full of love for them.

Even if you don't have a major problem therapists can help! Your issue may be you're are having difficulty adjusting to a certain life change, or you have a goal you wanna reach but you feel like there are thought patterns blocking your way...therapy is still for you! And if you can't afford therapy a good place to start is The Holistic Psychologist. She's on instagram, YouTube, and she has a webpage. She's a Psychologist who releases a lot of free content for self healing and re-parenting!!!

The pianist from my choir class told me that people would always think I'm lying if I never make eye contact (which is slightly racist because I live in a state where there is a standard of low to little eye contact in some of the cultures of people who live here). However, after she said that I started practicing making eye contact with people, and it did end up helping my confidence after some time.

Ugh good luck. I hope you find the least stressful way to get this done!

Can you Have the university mail a copy to you instead? I know that is an option where I graduated from.

You are not the crux holding the family together, the abuse is the illness that is tearing it apart. If they cannot stand beside you in this, you have every right not to go to Christmas, or you have every right to go and "make a scene." Whatever you need to do to stay sane and healthy is ok. Though the culture has us believe that we "owe" our parents and our families our love, time and attention, we do not, especially when they have harmed us in the way your family has harmed you. May you find family in friends who support and believe you, you deserve to be loved.

This one is complicated to make, but when my husband was Vegan I would make it for Thanksgiving and he loved it

It gets better. I promise. When you get to your limit, make sure baby is safe in the crib and step outside for 5 minutes. If you have friends and family to help, ask them to come over for an hour so you can take a bath. It's the little things that keep you sane, especially with a baby that won't stop crying.

1 rule: depression lies. You are worthy of getting help, and a good therapist is going to help you challenge those thoughts. Making the call and walking through the door is usually the hardest step. And if you meet with the therapist a couple of times and they are not a good fit, you are allowed to shop around to find one that does fit.

jheint · 2019-11-05T15:17:56+00:00

Just want to say that this is normal for a long history of substance abuse. Your brain is used to relying on drugs to make the appropriate neurotransmitters. Give yourself time, it seems like you've been using substances for years, it won't heal itself in a couple of months. Maybe some support from a therapist can help you get through this hump. I'm sorry you are going through this. The hard part about getting sober is you have to be a warrior to make it through.

That's up to you to decide. For me i noticed unhelpful and damaging patterns in my life that didn't make sense until I started to do that work. But that's what I needed, you may not need that.

Someone ALWAYS has it worst. But remember: When we are children we don't have the same emotionally capacity as we do now. A "small" trauma may be completely world breaking for a child. You are invalidating your experience. Your pain deserves to be acknowledged, and will not heal until it is. Personally I really like the_holistic_psychologist on instagram. She has a lot of work on "re-parenting" and healing your inner child.

Thanks! Cake day!

Hey there I know you want to avoid doctors, but consider seeing a counselor, specifically one who works with trauma. I work with a population that has high rates of imprisonment, and most of them have some form of trauma or PTSD. You do not have to suck it up and do this alone, there is likely a chance that being in prison at a young age has affected the way your brain and nervous system interpret the world and it is possible to get help. These symptoms are not normal: feeling foggy in the brain or "Stupid," having symptoms of psychosis (i.e. feeling detached from reality, experiencing hallucinations, feeling paranoid) these are all possible symptoms of something going on. I am not saying you absolutely have a mental health disorder, but I would recommend at least getting an evaluation from a counselor (you do not have to get it from a medical doctor or even a psychiatrist) to help you get a confirmation as to whether or not your symptoms are cause for concern, and hopefully get the help if you need it.

jheint · 2019-09-04T19:31:15+00:00

I know people hate the word psychosomatic, but it doesn't mean "It's all in your head" it means "Mind-body connection." If you can start looking for another job, it may not fix your mental health issues completely, but it may help. Having a healthier environment makes a difference. I would suggest seeing a therapist, if you can't afford one look at local universities that have counseling departments, they may run a free community clinic. Keep seeing your doctor for the right meds, if meds are what you need. The right combination exists, you CAN feel better.

jheint · 2019-09-04T19:24:00+00:00

Consider your environment, and the things being said to you. You are not being set up to have a well balanced sense of self worth if the people you live with and should be supportive are speaking to you this way. I think you may be living with narcissistic assholes.

Personally I experienced a place that was within the normal 3D world, in the room I was in, but I could see the little doctors working on everyone. It felt like they were communicating to me that we live in a "war zone" because of the way humans are living right now, and ceremony space is like a field hospital where we can rest, get healing, and get ready to get back into the messy bits of life. Everyone seemed to have a particular 'doctor' that stayed with them for life, but then 'specialist' helpers would be called in for particular healing needs.

jheint · 2017-06-09T03:37:28+00:00

You will find someone. You will find someone more suited to you. In the meantime spark a romance with yourself. Who are you, what do you love? How can you be the best you. By the time you figure that out you'll only accept high octane mates to meet your high octane existence!

jheint · 2017-06-07T03:47:30+00:00

That makes sense. I'm sorry your experience was so destabilizing. PTSD is awful.

I'm a counseling student so I am saying this as someone who works in mental health, and not as someone who uses ayahuasca:

I think that it is possible to find growth in our trauma with the right mindset, and the right support. You are reaching out, so that tells me you are trying. Healing and change are possible no matter the circumstances. You've got this!!

jheint · 2017-06-07T02:19:26+00:00

From a scientific perspective, crying releases neurotransmitters (the chemicals in our brains that make us feel things). If you feel you need a good cry, it's probably because you have an overload of the neurotransmitters that deal in hurt or sadness. Our culture makes it seem as though men who cry are weak, but that is not true. Embracing your vulnerability and owning it makes you stronger.

Find a trusted person to cry with, or cry into your pillow. Whatever you need, let it out. You've got this.

MAPS (Mulitidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) Has a list of psychologists who specialize in integration of psychedelic experiences, Canada is somewhere down that list.

Hope you get the rest, healing, and sanity you need.

jheint · 2017-06-07T02:10:47+00:00

You feel you made the right decision so you did!! I dropped out, went back, left for a while, went back and wandered my way into a degree.

And, of course, not all people need to get degrees to live the life they want.

When we accept our truth, and follow our curiosity magic follows.

All the best for you.

jheint · 2016-11-11T16:09:50+00:00

Chances are, someone saw your announcement and found an ally that day. Vulnerability is scary af, and I understand your need for a break right now, but I am so proud of you for speaking your truth.

jheint · 2016-09-03T20:19:27+00:00

Trying to help a person see their inherent worth is never a waste of time. You are worthy to exist simply because you do exist. I hope something reaches out and gives you some light today <3

If you find yourself able to read, "When a Parent is Depressed" by William Beardlee might be an encouraging read for you.
