Discover the rapid life-changing benefits of microdosing mushrooms for PTSD

"I haven't left my house in years."

Not long after my women's retreat business was founded in 2021, a US military veteran reached out to me stating he hadn’t left his house in years with severe PTSD.

He didn't care he wasn't reaching out to me because of my women't retreats. He was desperate.

And terrified.

He was wondering how he could get some of the mushrooms. 

I felt helpless, even though Denver just decriminalized psilocybin! 

At least now, with statewide decriminalization in Colorado as of 2022, we can gift, share and grow our own medicine.

Microdosing mushrooms for PTSD is capturing attention for its proven track record to transform lives.

As I write this in Summer 2024, Colorado is still figuring out how people will be able to legally access psilocybin-assisted therapy for severe PTSD. 

Gone are the days when people relied solely on pharmaceuticals and struggled with side effects.

Imagine that soothing wave of calm you have been yearning for...

If you survive with PTSD, you could be beyond desperate, in a life-and-death sorta way, like I myself have experienced in the past. 

Even when the State of Colorado gets their act together, it will cost upwards of $3500 for one macro therapy session—not covered by insurance, of course.

The best and most cost-effective way to access the medicine is to grow it yourself.

It's easier than you think! And very rewarding and fun. 

Welcome friend, I'm glad you're here. 

You might be wondering, "What exactly is microdosing?"

In simplest terms, microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual amounts of psychedelic substances—in this case, psilocybin mushrooms.

Unlike full-dose psychedelic experiences, microdosing allows you to dip your toe in the pool that is the healing waters of psilocybin.

Now let’s dig into how microdosing mushrooms can specifically benefit PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

When you have PTSD, you are constantly stuck in the sympathetic nervous system—fight flight, or freeze—which leads to adrenal burnout and all kinds of health issues. 

Microdosing mushrooms rewires your nervous system, creating new neural pathways and healthier ways to respond to your environment. 

Imagine living a life where you aren’t triggered by everything.

I know because I walk in shoes with the shadow of severe PTSD every day. 

I am so grateful for the mushrooms. 

They have guided me toward digging into my childhood traumas, which were debilitating my life in every way possible.

I've never been to war...

PTSD experts compare the neurology of a survivor of child sexual abuse to one of a combat war veteran so I can only imagine what a day in a veteran's life with unacknowledged PTSD is like...  

From someone walking in your shoes, I invite you to consider...

Learn all you can about PTSD. 

It wasn’t until I started learning how my neurology and limbic brain are different than people without PTSD, that my whole life kind of made sense before my very eyes. 

It really helped me to learn about my triggers and why they ruled my life. 

Before I started microdosing in early 2020, diving into my traumas wasn’t a priority or even on my radar. 

With severe PTSD, microdosing mushrooms is not all rainbows and unicorns. 

I found my triggers actually BECAME WORSE once I started microdosing mushrooms. 

This speaks to the excavating power of the mushrooms. 

I still had under-treated and more unacknowledged traumas I had not yet had an opportunity to dive into with my trauma therapist.

Full transparency, my worst flashback happened nearly 5 years after starting to microdose...not too long ago, actually. 

Just be aware, if you are harboring suppressed or under-treated trauma, your triggers could become worse with microdosing initially. 

I've had clients completely stop microdosing for this reason. 

Knowing this is how the mushrooms were working FOR ME, I knew I needed to get my butt back in trauma therapy.

The mushrooms excavate things from your psyche that need to be acknowledged. If you are not acknowledging them, they continue to speak louder and louder. Sometimes this looks like anxiety turning to anger or rage or something different.

In particular for me, parts + EMDR therapy combined with psilocybin microdosing and reverent integration practices like:

• stream-of consciousness journalling 
• meditation  
• intuitive art (writing, playing music, ecstatic dance)
• radical self-compassion
• plus a spiritual community 

have been the healing pivot in my PTSD journey. 

Is this the medicine which can help you heal from PTSD? 

Yes. 

Will it be uncomfortable for some of it? 

Absolutely.

It's 10000000% worth it, though. 

Here's where the magic happens: microdosing mushrooms lovingly yet assertively, eases your PTSD symptoms, helping you reclaim your life. 

You’ll notice the fog of trauma lifting, as your mind becomes crystal clear.

How does it work? 

Psilocybin, the active compound in these mushrooms, interacts with serotonin receptors in your brain.

By stimulating these receptors, psilocybin enhances emotional resilience, aiding in the healing process. 

You can feel a stabilizing sense of calm through your day as stress and anxiety begin to dwindle.

With heightened sensitivity, those of us with PTSD often reconnect with their world, savoring moments we previously overlooked.

Microdosing mushrooms for PTSD

Imagine, even on your darkest days feeling a lightness...

An optimism that wasn’t accessible before.

Psilocybin has mood-enhancing properties, contributing to a sense of subtle euphoria and renewed hope.

**Remember the legal aspects.** 

Verify psilocybin's status in your location before beginning.

Laws vary vastly—from decriminalization to harsh penalties. Knowing your legal standing could save you trouble.

Juliana Mercer’s story resonates deeply. 

A 16-year Marine Corps veteran found relief and near-overnight healing from psilocybin after two decades of emotional trauma. 

Psilocybin helped her access grief accumulated over 20 years of conflict, leading to reconnection with her peaceful, joyous, authentic self.

There are tens of thousands of stories like Juliana’s among military veterans. 

Microdosing mushrooms for PTSD can significantly improve sleep quality. 

Consistency, not overuse, is key for sustained relief. 

The mushrooms do not allow abuse or addiction. 

Microdosing isn’t just about mental clarity; it cultivates presence, helping you live in the now and navigate each day with emotional balance.

For a transformational healing journey with microdosing mushrooms and PTSD, incorporate healing modalities that calm your nervous system, like:

• Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
• Sound healing
• Meditation
• Yoga
• Spending time in nature
• Acupuncture
• Massage
• Featherlike touch (gentle strokes down your neck from your chin to your armpits also stimulates vagus nerve)
• Breathwork
• EFT tapping

Healing PTSD is a smoother ride with an intentional relationship with your Higher Power. 

Healing in a community is essential, and we learned this from our ancestors. 

Now, in western medicine, we are forced in a sterile room by ourselves, scared, afraid to speak about what we are going through- the hand of “privacy” forced on us. 

No wonder we are so lonely, depressed and suicidal. 

Find a community where you feel you can be unapologetically yourself. You need to speak up about the stuff that you have buried. 

PTSD and trauma don’t just go away. 

I found my community in Al-Anon. 

In Al-Anon, I hear my same story from people just like me, and I feel accepted and loved unconditionally. 

And surviving with severe PTSD my whole life- those feeling were foreign to me. 

And now I’m a "lifer". 

Healing in community is how our ancestors healed. 

We are all human and when we get together and talk about our biggest fears and our flaws we berate ourselves with everyday, we learn how alike we are with so many people, regardless of the color of our skin, our professions, our political affiliations and our religions. 

And those fears and practices of learned self-hatred gradually fade to the background and are replaced with feelings of unconditional love, support and just a feeling that everything is going to be ok. 

Again, feelings we are unfamiliar with having survived with severe PTSD.

We are all human.

We are all one.  

Every healing step taken with intention outshines modern medicine's static norms. 

Cheers and blessings to your journey toward peace, balance, and lightness.

You’ve got this.

It takes a lot of bravery and courage to look into the cave and stare your monsters in the face, so always remember to tell yourself that.
