As I write this, I consider the term 'schizophrenic'. Diagnostically, I earn that title. My mind ponders the experience, noting that it seems to be a uniquely psychotherapeutic opportunity to recover from personal trauma, rather than being a psychiatric 'death sentence'. The experience has been a eye opener. Never have I had such a raw, personally relevant reveal of my weak spots - to the point where I could even ponder a universal intellegence beyond my mind's grasping. It's as if a spiritual crisis, where my weak spots and flaws are presented in their most pure and transformative way, sits within cognitive grasp yet fails to be accepted and negated -learning from it - into the past. So I wonder... being in a theoretically risky situation, what therapeutic use of a psychedelic may offer? It seems as if a full experience of the troubles could offer the opportunity to fully own, and work through the issues and move forward. Has anyone attempted to work through a fragile situation of self and found positive returns? I've noted that it's possible to enhance cognition so that the content presented moves to the background but I wonder, what if I dive in head first with an empathic understanding? Any input is appreciated and I do not take any advice as being responsible for harm and/or benefit that may result. Best wishes
