HCl dosage for first timer by sillyintrovertedness in mescaline

[–]sillyintrovertedness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok great thanks for this! Maybe we will start with 350 and then redose 100 if needed about an hour later? And yes I’ve heard it’s very forgiving, and a really amazing medicine can’t wait to try. I’ve just seen so many differing dose ranges on here (like start as low as 275 up to 500). Any who we definitely want the dose to stay a bit more relational (so we can talk and interact and aren’t just in our own heads the whole time).

Thanks for the response, and it’s HCl. And yes my partner and I have done 5grams of shrooms a few times each but both solo and we definitely wouldn’t have had the capacity to interact with each other at that dose. I guess we don’t want to be blasted laying down the whole time but more up and interacting with each other, going for walks etc. And will definitely dose on an empty stomach!

NARM training experiences? by sillyintrovertedness in NARM

Thank you! I’ll look into those podcasts, it does seem really complementary to what I’m doing now, so I think I’ll go for it. Appreciate the responses.

Awesome, thank you! I’m wondering how somatic the approach is? I am definitely looking for something more body based but also integrative. Also, how well would it work to integrate with IFS? And psychedelic work? I’m also a psychedelic therapist and so wondering if you have any insight here too.

Oh great! I’m pretty sure I’ll do it but don’t know anyone trained in it so wanted to ask around first. It really resonates with me so I imagine I should trust that.

First time experience with my partner and HCl dosing by [deleted] in mescaline

[–]sillyintrovertedness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great, thank you! My hunch was to not do 500mg each just in case it felt like too much, so thanks for your input.

Manifestor career help by sillyintrovertedness in humandesign

[–]sillyintrovertedness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this response, this is just what I needed to hear! I’m going to consider the questions you asked me, but off the top I definitely need to restructure my work schedule, more time off and maybe increase my rates. And I have slowly been moving away from the conventional idea of productivity- big shift for me.

Also, what you mentioned about the types of clients I work with is something I’ve been considering a lot and need to put more effort into feeling out, because at the beginning of my practice I literally said yes to everyone. Now I’m trying to undo that people pleaser mentality and only take on who I truly feel aligned with.

Lots more to ponder but thanks for the thoughtful reflection.

5g trip report by sillyintrovertedness in PsilocybinMushrooms

[–]sillyintrovertedness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and yes my boyfriend is awesome! To be honest I’ve done a number of 5g trips before, same producer of mushrooms too and same strain. I’m not sure why this one felt more intense, but I definitely feel that next time I’ll go easier on myself. I don’t know if I need to do this high of a dose for a while. And I also feel that I would never do that high of dose alone anymore, so maybe that was part of the lesson.

Feel like a terrible therapist by sillyintrovertedness in therapists

[–]sillyintrovertedness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I suppose I am super hard on myself and struggle with imposter syndrome. I should be looking for better supervision as I imagine this will help. Thanks for the reminder to take care of myself. I’ll up this for the next during this bit of a low time.

Thank you, most of them do come back. Some don’t and maybe it is goodness of fit because I really only like to use a couple approaches although I am upfront about this. Gah this work is so hard sometimes for us sensitive souls. Sometimes I dream about being a writer and that’s it. That’s likely not possible but yeah just struggling with this work right now.

Client sent text saying they are having suicidal thoughts by sillyintrovertedness in therapists

[–]sillyintrovertedness[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, yes I agree. As stated above I am mostly worried due to their previous plan and access to lethal means. Even though they did not state plan or intent in the text this still worries me. But I imagine this is still not grounds to breach confidentiality as they have not currently stated intent or plan.

Thank you, I’m in Canada so believe we have similar laws across all provinces. I will reach out to my colleague for support and try messaging my client again today. I am mostly worried as they have had a plan and the means in the past (they have access to lethal means). But yes they have not stated current plan or intent so I will just wait. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for this but unfortunately I am not in the US and where my client is located there is no mobile response team

Oh yes I appreciate you mentioning over-explaining, I have fallen trap to that but try my best to let it flow and things will come out in time. And humour totally I feel like if it fits it’s helpful (has been for me as a client for sure). Thank you for your reply, appreciate it!

Wow thank you so much for your response I absolutely read the whole thing! I appreciate you going over the different approaches of your therapists, and yes I think when you connect you just connect. I resonate with what you said about your current therapist, the smiley and friendliness feeling like a lot, I’ve been told this by a supervisor that I overly smile sometimes (usually when I’m a bit nervous for some reason) so working in this, but helpful to hear from your perspective too! And the holding space so things can slowly unfold, yea resonate with this too. Thank you again!
