What I do know is that I carry an intense amount of shame. Sometimes I wish I could just climb into the roof and yell out that I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever done or didn’t do; I just want out of the dark spiral.

MDMA-assisted therapy can be especially helpful for working with shame. It temporarily turns down this protective part so you can work with the stuff it’s protecting. There’s plenty of information out there about this; I think the Netflix version of How to Change Your Mind is a pretty gentle way in.
Personally, combining psychedelic-assisted therapy with microdosing and a regular, disciplined mindfulness practice has been the most important, transformative thing I’ve ever done.
