Psychedelics Saved My Wife’s Life

From October 2020 until February 2022, my wife battled deep depression, suicidal ideation, 3-5 panic attacks, and complex PTSD, all stemming from a highly abusive childhood. The trauma was unfortunately triggered and reactivated by pregnancy and then birth of our beautiful daughter. 

“I don’t want to be a mom! I don’t want to live anymore!” Life was too overwhelming for her. She is a truly loving and amazing human, but she was suffering deeply.

We quickly tried a variety of treatments over the first 1.5 years including somatic trauma informed therapy, neurofeedback, NAD IV, Emotion Code, and more. But what really made the difference was her first psilocybin therapy session in late February 2023. It was a 2.5 gram dose and a 5 hour session.

Over 13 months later, she attests that session cured her of depression and relieved 95% of her c-PTSD. We got our life back in that evening and our daughter got her mom back.

Today, as a guest share, I want to share the science behind why medicines like psilocybin coupled with transformational guidance is arguably the biggest breakthrough of the last 50 years in two main areas:

1. Mental health: especially for PTSD and depression.
2. Peak performance: the ability to rapidly rewire your nervous system

Let me explain what the neuroscience behind this breakthrough actually says and why using powerful tools like psilocybin can create years worth of growth in a single day (I personally regularly see it in my private sessions every single week for high achievers wanting to break free of a trauma or breakthrough to another level of capability).

The graph below, from Dr. Romain Nardou et al, published in Nature 2023 article:

In other words, there are two windows of opportunity here thanks to the medicines. It’s as if your mind and nervous system is like ski slopes that have just been coated with fresh white powder. 

The first opening, the acute window is where you have this beautiful window of supercharged neuroplasticity that’s unlike any other known window in our adult life, where your body and nervous system feels very safe to go in and integrate the trauma, the overwhelm and do the equivalent of 2-3 years worth of work in a single session.

The 2nd window, the critical period re-opening is very similar to two previous stages of your life: your childhood before the age of 7 and again from about 15-23 where you again have heightened neuroplasticity and your nervous system is changing rapidly. Technically, what’s happening is your brain is experiencing a massive increase in dendritic spines (your neuroreceptors) and your brain and nervous system becomes much more flexible and adaptable.

This is why for deep lasting transformation, there’s nothing else like the power of psychedelics when safely and properly used and supported with great guides/therapists who know what they’re doing whether in a 1-1 session or a ceremony. No other substance creates this powerful of an opening for this level of healing and transformation, again when properly and safely supported (which I can’t go into here for space reasons).
