I do think hallucinogens in general can help in the way you described. I’ve had a few trips that the experiences like you said changed how I saw things. Unfortunately the perspective changes didn’t maintain as engrained over the years (one trip (not psilocybin) actually had me thinking for a bit my self-destructive behaviors really hurt other people more than myself, I still kinda see that intellectually but I don’t feel it as much or really live by it).
Hi @MuddyBoots, glad to see you again!

It was a capsule that was similar in size to a Tylenol pill. It was 25mg.

I read beforehand that it's very pure and pharmaceutical grade, so it didn't have things in it that a regular mushroom might have (like other components and chemicals).

It took effect in about 15-20 minutes and the experience was full on at that point, it didn't build up like ketamine did.

I'm glad I was in a safe place but it felt strange being monitored by a bunch of people. But of course it was very helpful given what happened.

But, yeah, you're right, you see the same things but differently.

Knowing is the first and a really big step, Muddy. Good for you for recognizing and naming it
