Veteran Uses Psilocybin and MDMA to Treat PTSD From Tim Amoroso: I believe we are born with blank-slates. It is our unique experiences that mold our personalities and our future. Positive experiences promote growth and security, while trauma can help cover up our true selves. Our personality can eventually be hidden by repeated traumas or even one single trauma. I realized what trauma could do to a person after coming home from each one of my three deployments. I didn’t notice any problems such as my creeping depression or horrible anxiety while I was in the Army, because it just seemed normal under the circumstances. One day 3 years after my first deployment I remember waking up and asking myself: Who am I? What have I become? How was I not aware of this massive transformation? These questions sent me into a serious funk. Was it possible to get out of this mess or was I doomed? I was lucky enough to learn about the power that psychedelics have in treating trauma. I remember thinking: if a few traumatic events can turn my life upside-down, a number of profound events may be able to put me back in control. reset.me/personal-story/soldier-uses-psilocybin-mushrooms-to-treat-ptsd/
