Psychedelics offer a short term relief (few months) for people in crisis, then they return to where they were before treatment. Then as with all addictive mood altering drugs to obtain the same result, increased doses are needed. There is no permanent change/reversal & the danger is that people will give up or self medicate higher doses. Long term client-led counselling (years) & a long period of low stress (years) is the best way to change a trauma mindset to a recovery mindset. Many trauma clients are also in recovery from addictive substances & some are now relapsing because people on YT etc are saying drugs are the solution

Are you a doctor or scientist? What we do know FOR SURE is that the brain is more complex than we understand, and the interactions with substances are not fully known. To shut down all of the potential good that can come from psychedelics is just ignorance.
Pharmaceuticals are some of the most abused medications worldwide, and they aren't universally condemned like you're doing to psychedelics. To act like they have no place in healing the root causes of issues is to overlook some really valuable potential. Maybe they're not for you, and that's fine, but don't fear monger to others who are open minded to the possibility of relief through psychedelics. You don't speak for everyone.
