“Trauma is not personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated, the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive.”

A new frontier in trauma therapy: The subtle power of microdosing mushrooms
Microdosing involves the administration of sub-perceptual, sub-hallucinogenic doses of psychedelics, chiefly psilocybin mushrooms, which is gaining traction within innovative health and wellness circles.
Described as a "gentle awakening," this approach does not aggressively tear through emotional barricades but subtly nudges them, fostering a profound yet gentle impact on your everyday functioning.
This nuanced method is catching the attention of...
Researchers and wellness advocates alike, suggesting a significant shift in how emotional and cognitive flexibility can be enhanced.
This serves as a mental defroster for those fog-laden days by facilitating increased neural plasticity and fostering a reconciliation of one's past afflictions with their present potential.
However, embarking on a microdosing mushrooms for trauma journey requires a mixture of excitement, caution, and diligent preparation, especially considering the legalities of psilocybin, which remains illegal in many areas.
It's crucial to verify local regulations and seek out regulated programs or research projects before delving into this practice.
“The pain of trauma can be the catalyst for personal growth, leading us to discover inner strength and resilience we never knew we possessed.”

This method helps prevent the buildup of tolerance and maintains a consistent engagement with the substance’s subtle therapeutic effects.
If you live in a decriminalized area and you are interested in growing your own medicine for healing,
A word of caution...
0.1 grams of psilocybin is a very large dose.

Rather, when you are first starting your microdosing practice, opt for a dose the size of a long-grain size of rice to start.
You can always take more if you wish.
But the point of microdosing is really not to “feel” anything at all.

It involves potential psychological and physiological alterations, necessitating the involvement of a knowledgeable caregiver—
Preferably one experienced in both trauma and the nuances of psychedelic therapies—to tailor the experience to individual needs effectively.

A personal story...
As I write this, I am over 4 years into my microdosing mushrooms journey.
I started microdosing after reading “How To Change Your Mind”, by Michael Pollan.
Initially I just wanted to see how they helped me.
Even though I am alcohol-sober for over 6 years, microdosing mushrooms has no doubt been the reason for the cravings to cease to exist.
A flood of creative expansion with writing, music and art exploded in my life.
But microdosing mushrooms for trauma is anything but rainbows and unicorns...
My triggers to anything under the sun became worse and worse...
Just last year, the mushrooms started to show me I needed to dive into my childhood abuse and sexual traumas.
The effects of trauma can be passed down through generations, but so can the resilience and healing.
Dr. Soma Ganesan
As challenging as it has been to revisit my traumas from childhood, it has shed profound light, comfort and healing knowing I can heal from my traumas which have affected every area of my life for the last 42 years.
Without my reverent microdosing practice coupled with community and integration modalities like:
- journalling
- yoga
- meditation
- trauma therapy
I might not ever have achieved the level of awareness and courage needed to dive into those traumas so I can finally begin to live a life of peace, joy and happiness that I’ve always deserved.
Microdosing mushrooms for trauma can help you live the life you've always deserved, too.
