Psychedelic help alot and they're like a cheat sheet to life, but you could also experience the same things. Psychedelic amp tf out whilst being sober, mediation and astral projection are key.
Does it actually help people with mental health? Because from what I heard is that if you have any anxiety while doing this it'll be a bad trip, so I'm confused.
As a therapist working with clients with depression, anxiety disorders and addiction, I find the future for psychedelic therapy promising and insightful. Thanks for sharing!
I feel like, especially these days, everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful/intentional therapeutic use of substances like these.
Shrooms microdosing helped me overcome my life long addiction to cigarettes and alcohol, I just relocated and they're so hard to come by here, I really need to buy some
As someone with CPTSD, I can say that my use of psilocybin in magic mushrooms has greatly improved my ability to process trauma. Not to mention, it makes for GREAT cures for writers block.
I saw The movie of Zlatan (swedish footballplayer)but as His father from Bosnia he was bullied BUT BULLIED BACK AND NOW (AS THEN I THINK INSIDE HIMSELF)HE HAS IT GOOD,even rich USING MANS POUND,RIGHT AS HUMAN,when so many of us cremble.....
@@seratonin7004 depends on your body and how it reacts. I would start with 2g of dry mushrooms in tea. If you're worried about amounts you can look up dosage suggestions by body mass. If you take it in tea form, or just eat them (they're quite foul) you will have a harder, longer experience usually accompanied by visual effects. But what I do, I'll grind up dry mushrooms, shove them into large capsules and take as many as I need. Then I get a lot more of a controller response that lasts 6-8 hours, it's also milder. I'd start with 2g in tea. Then you can figure out if you can move up to 3g after you've experienced it. But in terms of what to do while you have them. I'd recommend music that is meaningful to you. Or if you have a friend or open minded therapist they can do guided trips where they will ask you questions along the way.
@@seratonin7004 well, a "bad trip" is when you lose control of your own mind. Like a dog off a leash, it runs off into areas it shouldnt be. But if the places you go are dark, that's not always a bad thing. It just means you need to make sure to bring a torch. Cause if there are monsters, knowing where they are is far safer than ignoring them. So keep yourself on a leash before trying to explore too deep. Like cave diving. Start small. Dont go squeezing into tiny spaces or go further than you can safely travel. So for me, I chose a lot of Billie Eilish because her musimusical tones and lyrics I always found managed to compliment my adolescence and childhood on the more emotional level. So that helps with CPTSD Whereas if I wanted to deal with teenage anger, I'd listen to something heavier. If you want more of a free exploratory type experience, I'd go with just ambient music with the tone you want to explore with. If you want to explore the dark, go for dark ambient. If you want to explore active lighter memory and experience, go with whatever songs you can attribute to your childhood. So era specific. Those will trigger specific memories. Are you able to source them? I'm from Canada so I'm used to getting them quite cheap and delivered to your door xD but hey if you're in the UK or northern europe they are starting to grow. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try.
Ketamine therapy has completely changed my life for the better! It’s worked an absolute miracle after 6 months for depression and PTSD I had suffered for 38 years! Please look into it if you are struggling! It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever been given!
many don't consider ketamine a psychedelic, and it's not just because of its ability to cause addiction. though it's different, I still think it's like klonopin: you can use it, but don't get used to it, or problems will probably come. in this case, the patient do get better, but once the substance is removed, they feel like they're getting worse again because of abstinence.
@@brunolidade that’s not a true blanket statement. It creates long term neuroplasticity, and if people are doing integration work with a therapist and changing their old bad habits, they don’t need it long term.
I was looking into ketamine since it's the only legalized psych in the us so far. I'd prefer mushrooms only because in my mind they seem more natural therefore less addictive but idk. I've never had any medication for lifelong depression but I'm 32 now and really tired of struggling with it
@@Trigger10sn you may have a different opinion, but I'm talking about facts based on scientific research. any substance that acts in the manner ketamine does - by blocking the ability of the body to feel pain - do can cause addiction, hence opioids problem in the US. meanwhile, LSD can't be abuse, as the body develops resistance extremely fast. to use it twice in a week, for instance, and have the same effect, one would have to multiply the dose at least a couple times - that is, after the 3 day period needed for the body to eliminate it, as otherwise it just doesn't work at all. that's the difference between a real psychotropic and a common sedative. :)
I did ayahuasca 2 years ago and it change my life. I am extremely grateful for the experience but everything comes with a price and I had a crisis post psychodelics that lasted me months, and still somethings lingers in there a little bit from time to time but it was unmeassurable the benefit to my life I got from the trip. Just be careful guys.
I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did
Mushroom completely turned my life around and my anxiety and panic attack disappeared and my personality changed into a much more generous loving person
I use mdma a few times recreational. Only at party's. One morning after a party I had a real good conversation with my best friend while I was still under influence of the mdma. It was such a revelation to me, all pieces fitted. I'm not saying everyone should do this, I am not an expert. But my view of my world ( mostly my father) changed in a good way. This has been the best conversation and life changing moment of my life.

Never ever in their imagination would our ancestors have thought that their future planet will be so incredibly crowded but terribly lonely. So lonely that chemicals will be the only hope to make people talk.
I've done MDMA and can absolutely see it's therapeutic effects. There's many psychedelics that should be used and researched more but the stigma of drugs holds us back.
Happy to see this video! After watching "How to Change Your Mind" on Netflix I am eagerly awaiting the day when I can fly to a country that has legalised psychedelics so I can undergo treatment and hopefully heal my trauma and mental health issues for good. I prefer to do things legally and in a safe environment to minimise risks.
Legal: The Netherlands (Psylocibin ->''mushrooms''), Spain, Portugal (Ayahuasca). And there are professional organisations that create ceremonies for healing using these substances.
Its funny I suffer with debilitating cptsd, cant afford therapy so have started taking micro doses of mushrooms literally as of yesterday. The timing of this video is impeccable. I do not expect any different from The School of Life, they've helped me so many times along my journey over these years ❤
@@juliz2500 honestly it really is. my inner talk is slowly being corrected without judgement, and im asking more questions to understand where the pain/fear/belief is coming from. i seem to be developing a genuinely nurturing mother inside who very gently encourages comforts and praises me, its so weird. fyi ive only taken like 0.08g over the space of two weeks, so even less than usual.
This is not the first time that I've heard it suggested that MDMA may be a real support for psycho therapy. In particular those with PTSD could really benefit. Governments need to consider making it a prescription drug for just such use. Research can't even be conducted under the current restrictions on it. The other drug that deserves research at the very least is psilocybin. Many have suggested that this is another that can help with therapy.
Swim tried it and they healed it was so powerful that through their healing those broken relationships healed too. Swim moved on long after the effects settled but what he realized this tool was always with him it was just dormant and need a boost reminded (psychedelics).
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse The video is talking specifically only about MDMA. Psilocybin is also going through the same "revolution" in treatments and it's legal in a lot of countries, they should have mentioned it. It's already much further in research and a lot of people are using it already
@@RNCHFND Meth, to me, is far more of a difficult substance to tackle. There exists people, who, if they were to take MDMA, would very much likely become immediately hooked on it due to their past neglect and emotional abuse. Like imagine a starving child who, for the first 10 years of their life would go weeks without food at a time and would be thankful for a cup of rice and then imagine if there were to be dropped into a mcdonalds with endless access to that food. How on earth would a person like that be able to control themselves? How would they be able to even know to avoid over consuming and how would they know the quality of their experience is going to be greatly diminished as soon as those drugs have worn off and they go back to 'normal'? Imagine that same kid, punched, abused, kicked, neglected, denied the basic quality of emotional attachments and you gave them MDMA. For the first time they have now consumed PURE love, how the hell do you think they're going to be able to go back to their normal miserable life?
@@jaym3566 you're entitled to your opinion, but if you think it means much in response to what I said I'd suggest you dont know much about psychology if you don't know the risk factors of meth. You do you.
Throughout my research on the iboga plant, I have become increasingly enthusiastic about the topic of psychedelic therapy. Iboga is one that I believe many people would really love to use.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."
Last year, I took shrooms at Las Vegas thinking it was going to hit like an edible or something. Shit was scary at first but amazing once you start getting deeper into your thoughts

Here’s a truth serum if there ever was one; beggaring the question..how did truth become so fundamentally dreadful? It’s as if it has ceased to be virtue…
Mdma? I've never had it, it is in a psychedelic sense withholding of personal experience and relatability, the frustration of this inexperience is not appreciated, I only wish I could've experienced a more in depth understanding of this type of therapy & overcome the personal frustration I've felt with this content
Well, your proposal is ti shut down all the defencese of a person to explore their hidden toughts? I think there is a ethical problem because in every psycotherapy, the patient has the choice to share or not some informations. This operation suppose that trauma and depression is caused only by unknown causes. How could we really control the psychiatrist onesty, and make sure he will maintain the professional secret? How can we tell that what is observed by the psychiatrist is actualy ever happened? How can we tell the differences of the unconscius and some drug side effect or delirium? This operation can help only in the discover of the problem, not into solving, even if the psychiatrist know the solution, the problem is to onestly convince the patient without a "drug" manipulation. And, do we really have solved the problem if, in order to make a change, we have to force the mind to trust and not to rationally choose despite fear and anxiety? In this way we are taking away the right to choose and the freedom of the patient.
Your questions show you have never used any psychedelics. When using it is not that you are not in control and become a slave of your experience. Introspection is what happens when guided in a ceremony/setting by yourself or another. You can share what you want with anyone, or not, and most of the time it is your own journey into your own (un) consciousness. Solving a problem is not by the help of another, but by insights that are more than words of another but by a combination of feeling the problem, feeling the solution, being brave enough to endure the pain of reliving the trauma and finding a different perspective on it that helps you in your day-to-day. What this experience is, this feeling,, is not captured by words, because our ''monkey'' brain has evolved to help our physical body to survive, thus our communication of our inner live is not important. Therefor our language goes only so far to be able to word what our subjective experience is to another. It is like describing the smell of lavender while only using numbers. Or describing the colour red to a blind person. I really advise you to read up on it more and preferably try it yourself. This kind of therapy has been with the human kind since the beginning of times, only 100 years we have shunned it and brought in discredit by labelling it as a ''drug''. Many people have committed suicide and left their loved ones in grief, pain and despair because nowadays old fashioned psychiatric treatment is not able to address the underlying problem but only treat the symptoms.When the tools are available to help people and we decide to not use them because of politics, prejudice or not being willing to inform on the existing knowledge, we as a society are as bad as the person who harmed the people that are suffering.
@@markborst5630 How a drug can make someone in contact with his own subconscius? How can you tell that the feelings he prove are actually linked to his subconscius? How can you tell that what he prove is caused not by the drug and that was actually something that was in the essence of humanity blocked by the limitations of nature? Secondly, the problem with our world is that we are convinced that we should remove any pain and grief from our lifes, and that is impossible. We should not try all to remove pain, but we change how we deal and accept suffering and grief. If it has some benefits, their are caused by the fact that someone sit and start thinking without judging about his life, his past, his future and his present, but not due to the use of drug, but only because anyhing is better than nothing, but i think we should use some proper tools to help people and we should not chimically force them. We should start talking about pain more than happiness, because pain is much more important in the meaning of life. I believe that, nowadays, psychotherapy can treat nearly all our psyche's problems, but too much ideology and bad psicology schools are melted with the real scientific method of psychology.
psychedelics are personally a big regret of mine, and i wish i had never tried them. glad they have worked wonders and changed lives positively for others though. just remember to take at your own risk, it affects everyone differently.
Exactly. I’ve had clients do very poorly with it. I also know people who this didn’t help whatsoever and they spent a lot of money for nothing. I always tell people if they’re interested do a lot of research and know the risks/benefits. Because the providers who really believe in it claim there are only benefits. Sure, some people do great but not all.
It seems there are an entire generation of people who have a repressed trauma, fear, psychological ailment, etc, who could benefit from a psychedelic substance microdosing programme to heal themselves. Unfortunately their use is highly restricted if not illegal in most countries. I thought of moving to Canada/ Holland to do a psychedelic retreat. It's critically important to take into account one's personal individual health profile, mental health background, etc.
I’ll say this once and just once I did 14 gs of ape and it’s been two years and I’m completely healed from my PtSD it feels like my brain had been rewired to that of when I was a child before my traumas I have nothing but embrace and love in my heart now I honestly wish everyone felt half as good as me now(don’t fucking do what I did I was really sick and desperate educate yourself first) I spent my whole life navigating through a storm of fury and now I just want to pet my dog lol
@@jackperry6269 'Albino Penis Envy', a potent strain of Psilocybe Cubensis mushroom. Basically a type of psilocybin mushroom. 14g is an extremely high dose. Although there is minimal risk of it physically harming you it could cause psychological trauma, including psychosis, to those who are not accustomed to psychedelics or have underlying mental disorders. Note I am not an expert.
@@WhirledPublishing I don't think that's what this person meant. He/she is saying they are not being pulled in any illogical directions keeping them from being content in the moment. Like when you're sitting down petting your dog and enjoying that moment with him. Not thinking about anything else.
When studying these, please be mindful of the indigenous peoples that have been using these (whether be it ayahuasca, mushrooms or iboga). We sometimes easily dismiss their knowledge due to arrogance, but they have been working with these plants/fungi for sometimes millenia. With these plants/fungi you have to be really open minded, and humble. Bad use can lead to many detrimental effects depending on the plant. It is also not only about the plant but who provides it to you.
I have never tried an illegal drug in my 57 yrs. I don't even drink anything with caffeine but I have suffered with Major Depressive Disorder since puberty. I've been on Cymbalta and Wellbutrin since last year. It's not helping. It's only making me incredibly tired. I'm really considering MDMA to help. This video has opened my eyes.
@@laurenrizzuto878 I wish you well but if you're looking for something that's already legally available I would recommend looking into ketamine infusions that can be useful for treatment-resistant depression
Doesn't overcoming the hardness of sharing our thoughts with another person make you mentally stronger? Should we expect there is a wonder drug for our problems instead of confronting them and becoming more resilient?
I am happy for you. I read an interesting post about ancient Mayans & the ritual use of psychedelics by having the drugs via an enema (yes, an enema). v
Idk about mdma since it’s more of a “fun stimulant” and has dangerous physical side effects like dehydration. However I would say psilocybin mushrooms revealed truths inside of me that made me cry for hours. Not sure why they promoted Molly and not mushrooms. Everyone is different I guess
As long as the main actors are able to get their cut out of it it will be made legal and given the ok in society as always have been and is one of the maladies that need to go away in modern society in order for humanity to prosper 🤷
And if that happens it's going to be manipulated, GMO'd beyond repairable, exploited, hijacked and then distributed and administered like every other pharmaceutical just packaged as if they have good intentions for it. Government hands should stay far away from this.
I read "psychedelic" & envision the therapist giving patients hits of acid or magic mushrooms after a few deep drags on a big spliff. 😉 If MDMA works, I'll give it a go. I'm past ready to let go of some bs in my head.
there is currently ongoing research on therapeutic psilocybin use. this is the working ingredient in magic mushrooms and helps people with depression, trauma, addiction, etc. it is used similarly to the MDMA therapy described here
Yeah, I use magic mushrooms, they're great for trauma processing. I also use them for writers block XD I'd highly recommend magic mushrooms. but make sure you take controlled doses. 2-3g accompanied with your preferred music that will be able to trigger the emotions you're looking to express or trauma that you're wanting to process helps. It's not really about that stupid raver culture of seeing flashy lights and hallucinations, it's about the way you feel on them and how much better you can think and process emotions through psilocybin. You should give it a try.
Be very careful with this! I have a condition called Hallucingin Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) and it’s like a permanent acid trip and it’s terrible. It’s mostly caused by taking psychedelics.
@@arbitrayer Objects warp, jiggle, sway back and forth, blow in the wind. Fake shadows or light reflections. Visual snow and phosphene like after images. Like if you stare at a black square on a white screen, then take away the square but you kinda still see it after its gone, like that but sticks around floating. "trailing" where I can still see my hand moving after it done moving. Like a long shutter photo but in real time. If I look up from my screen at my daughter playing with my keys right now, it takes a bit for me to see her because my brain keeps registering the computer longer than most people. A bunch of issues, the visuals are really the least upsetting part of my condition, for me at least.
@@KartikChugh mine was caused by one of my medications as a teenager I think, or maybe severe insomnia? but was mostly triggered by seroquel and then made worsw later by ambien. Didn’t what HPPD was till last year
I must say, I'm shocked that School of Life released this video. Using powerful mind-altering substances is dangerous. There *may* be some benefit, for *some* users. But there is no guarantee that all people will react in the same way. Furthermore, long-term, frequent use of drugs may prove more damaging to the patient's mind. At the very least, there ought to be considerable grounds for scepticism about this, which ought to have been given a hearing by S.o.L.
I know two friends who have been using a lot of psychedelics, for most of their adult lives. Both are decent people. Have kept respectable jobs that don't really require any skills or problem solving, for decades. Both seem to be mentally and emotionally stuck in their late teens/early 20s. Psychedelic drugs have done ZERO to break them out of their "Groundhog Day" like routines. Now in their late 40s, their vibes are friendly but also slightly creepy and a bit crazy. Like they still see themselves as 21 and want to party with young adults any chance they get. So, I think psychedelics can be great if used once in a great while. To change your perspective a little. But just like anything, too much/too often is really bad.
That's because they aren't putting the effort into themselves. They probably have no idea of their hangups. To do self work you only need yourself to do it. You don't even need drugs at all. But you have to be aware of yourself if you want to change. They seem completely unaware. I bet if you called them out on their immaturity you'd get a very defensive response. That right there tells you they are subconsciously or consciously avoiding themselves.
In my much younger years I dropped acid (took LSD) on many occasions. I will offer the disclaimer that I do not recommend this to anyone but wish only to share the anecdote here. I have always been both highly introspective as well as decisively altruistic, which I believe directly aided my good fortune in having always avoided a “bad trip”. I eventually found that it helped me analyze my childhood PTSD from the imaginary perspective of a third person and, from that vantage within the purple haze, practice (as I put it) removing thorns instead of rose petals. Again, I would NOT recommend that anyone should try psychedelics for self treatment. But this news makes my very soul smile! I hope that the future sees many more people in need of inner healing find it via guided psychedelic therapy, and with even greater success than my reckless younger self was stupidly lucky enough to secure by mistake.
How can one be so sure that MDMA is that best instead of micro-dosed acid or mushroom or any other? Could you please recommend further reading from a trusted source? I'm generally curious
🔝I recommend 🔝that handle , the nice plug 👌,she got the best tip and stuffs for microdising ,LSD,shrooms,psych meds,DMT trips, psilocybin and shipment 🍄💯
I'm not sure MDMA allow us to go as deep as LSD. It is also one of the most studied molecules for therapy. I just wanted to bring it's name to this place :) Thank you for talking about this.
Increased proprioception, release of tension, helps reduce inflammation, increased awareness of your body, the way you move feels much more natural. I like to describe it as releasing your learned compensationary movement patterns and being able to move freely again. All anecdotal experience
I would do this in a heartbeat. I’ve done my recreational experiences but for therapy I’m totally on board. In fact maybe I should work out how to do this for myself now before it’s made accessible.
I've been doing it with lsd for the past 4 years. I just choose a day where I'm feeling good and relaxed, drop the hits and lay down listening to music such as psybient and psychill, preferably with no lyrics; Carbon Based Lifeforms and Shpongle are my favorites. if you were to start, I'd recommend using 1/2 a blotter so you can have an idea of what to expect, and for a "high" dose, 300 microgramss should be fine. one can either stay with eyes open and try to navigate through their thoughts, or just close the eyes and dive into their minds.
They do more than simply lower inhibitions. Alcohol does that already. Michael Pollen clearly explains what little we know about how psychedelics work. That said, their potential is in desperate need of realization.
All psychedelics do is turn off Default Mode Network where most people have lost them selves in. They minds are in DEFAULT MODE NETWORK and their lives as weel. People live inside narrow box and psychedelics take you out of that stupid box into the wide beautiful world.
