Psychedelic Medicine acts on receptors in the brain that can lead to the reduction of depressive symptoms. When your typical reactions to emotions are quieted, you may find that can facilitate a gentler exploration of memories, feelings, and experiences. A variety of experiences can occur during your session. You should remain open to what may arise, trust in the process, and let it flow rather than try to direct or fight the experience. This may include facing uncomfortable emotions or the feeling of not having an "experience."
