Considering what Covid revealed of the medical industry, I’d be far more inclined to pursue psychedelic or ketamine therapy than traditional psychiatry if I were to seek counseling.
Not only do they show promise for actually treating serious issues, I feel those treating and counseling with them are more honest and uncompromised.
Thank you, for sharing. I appreciate your insight. I am personally neither a psychiatrist nor any sort of mainstream or traditional pathway counselor. My work is mystical and largely informed by plant medicine over the last decade and my own journeying and/or guided initiations with wisdom keepers, shamans and healers. Personally, while I have witnessed some incredible case studies for ketamine therapy and I agree with you it can be quite promising for treating serious issues I am not a proponent necessarily. It doesn't sit quite well with me. Perhaps because I am also well exposed and aware of a mass addiction epidemic on these and other types of drugs. If such therapies are undertaken they definitely should be entirely under supervision and have a start and end plan. And one should exercise a lot of caution and clear intention. My view of this whole new lil industry that's popped up is a way for mainstream medical industry to be capitalizing on the psychedelic, spiritual and plant medicine, trauma healing "fad" in a clinical settings. I am sharing based on having had friends working in such kethamine clinics.
I prefer working with plant allies such as wachuma, mushrooms and ayahuasca.
You have a great perspective. I am very much a proponent of plant medicine as well. Was in Iquitos this past summer for an aya retreat and it was an incredible experience. Would love to continue to learn and experience it more.
