“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.

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.” 

Judith Lewis Herman

After clearing legal hurdles...

Understanding the appropriate dosage and regimen becomes paramount. 

Typical microdosing guidance suggests taking about 0.1 to 0.5 grams of dried psilocybin mushrooms every three days.

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.

Microdosing mushrooms for trauma: Start small, embrace the journey

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. 

If you are new to microdosing, and even if you aren’t, 0.1 grams initially does not feel like a microdose. 

Microdosing mushrooms for trauma transcends the mere ingestion of mushrooms; it is an introspective journey that ideally compliments ongoing therapeutic processes such as one-on-one sessions, group therapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy. 

Guided growth: Microdosing with expert support for maximum benefits

Integrating microdosing into existing treatment frameworks offers a scaffolding that enriches the introspective journey, broadening the perspectives between one’s historical experiences and future aspirations.

The concept of "set and setting," which refers to one's mindset and the physical environment, plays a crucial role in enhancing the outcomes of microdosing. 

Opting for a calm, secure, and familiar environment encourages deeper introspection and significantly influences the therapeutic journey.

Microdosing gradually introduces subtle yet powerful shifts in perception and decision-making, fostering a capacity to navigate previously daunting challenges.

Despite its benefits, microdosing is not without risks and is not considered a universal remedy. 

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.

“The soul always knows what to do to heal. The challenge is to silence the mind”

Taming trauma: The power of psilocybin microdosing

Drawing from the wisdom of practitioners like Francoise Bourzat, it is suggested that mushrooms reach deeper into the psyche than other psychedelics, making them especially potent for addressing deep-seated traumas. 

Ignored traumas can complicate life significantly, impacting everyday functioning and manifesting in challenges related to:

  • relationships 
  • employment 
  • financial stability
  • addictions and 
  • mental health

Transforming life into a continuous battle of emotional regulation...

By microdosing psilocybin, individuals open a pathway to healing deep psychological wounds and soothing the nervous system.

Engaging with a therapist who understands the complexities of both trauma and psychedelic support is indispensable. 

As daunting emotions and memories resurface, treating them with compassion and patience through expressive activities like:

  • journaling
  • meditation
  • ecstatic dance
  • intuitive painting 
  • yoga and 
  • therapeutic breathwork 

becomes crucial. 

These practices help manage and release traumatic energy effectively.

Integration, the process of weaving insights gained from microdosing into everyday life, is vital for achieving lasting change and establishing enduring happiness and joy.

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.

What I have found is...

The shadows in the cave aren’t as scary as I’ve allowed them to be my whole life. 

This distorted thinking has severely negatively impacted my entire life, as it does with childhood abuse.

Because I've stared at the boogie man in the face of my deepest, darkest cave, I can exist in my skin in this world with more serenity, peace and ease. 

Though the path may be arduous, it promises profound benefits and a deeper understanding of one's experiences, ultimately stepping towards a clearer, more authentic existence.
