Yes they can! They can open up your mind & help you heal from the past trauma that you thought that you would never get over when used respectfully, safely & intentionally. The healing potential of psychedelics is truly so spectacular. When many of us started to go to therapy for our problems we were told that this is the way that we will always be & that we needed to be on medication to function. But the reality is this is not the truth, this is a lie that is told to us to keep us disempowered so we subscribe to modern mental health. In my personal experience, the modern mental health system can only bring you so far, but after that it keep you in purgatory, spinning around in circles of your suffering. The medications that they prescribed often create very negative side effects & being on them long-term does damage to your body mind & spirit. They disconnect you from who you are & they keep you from understanding your full potential. I spun around in circles never getting better for years & after my first psychedelic experience, I started to see things differently & I started to understand what I was capable of. I started to understand that I create my own reality & I got to make the choice of who I wanted to be. I realize that I didn't need to be on those medications that just made me feel numb & disconnected. I realize that there were medicines in this world that had been worked with for centuries, long before modern psychiatry and pharmaceuticals were created, that were actually conducive to real healing. These medicines help you get to the true root of the problem & they help you purge these energies out of your system so they no longer controlled you. Trauma is not a permanent chemical imbalance, it is energy that stores in the body. Trauma is memories that we hold onto & refuse to let go of. Psychedelics offer you the opportunity to let go of it all & become a new person. They allow you a true opportunities to grow, heal & change yourself but only if that's what you truly desire.
