How Psychedelic Therapy Works for PTSD

Understanding Your Struggle with PTSD

Living with PTSD often feels like being trapped in a cycle of pain, reliving past trauma. It may cause intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness, or heightened anxiety that overwhelms your ability to live fully. Traditional treatments like talk therapy and medication can be helpful, but they don’t always address the deep-rooted nature of trauma.

Psychedelic therapy, however, offers a new perspective. By using plant medicine like psilocybin or MDMA in a safe, guided environment, you can access parts of your mind that are otherwise difficult to reach. This allows you to confront and release the emotional weight of your trauma, creating space for healing and personal growth.

Through our conversations, Anne helped me rediscover parts of myself I thought were lost. The gentle guidance she provided allowed me to release what depression had buried deep within me.

Why Psychedelic Therapy Works for PTSD

Recent research shows that psychedelic therapy can play a powerful role in treating PTSD. Plant medicine works by altering the brain's neural pathways, promoting neuroplasticity, and reducing activity in the amygdala—the part of the brain responsible for fear responses. This creates a sense of safety and openness, allowing you to process traumatic memories without the usual flood of fear or pain.

In a therapeutic setting, plant medicine allows patients to revisit their trauma with a new perspective. By working with a trained guide, you can reframe past experiences and break free from the mental and emotional patterns that have kept you stuck.

Scientific Reference:
Studies from institutions like MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) have shown promising results, with plant medicine-assisted therapy reducing PTSD symptoms in 67% of participants after just three sessions​.

The Role of Microdosing in PTSD Recovery

Microdosing plant medicine can be an effective tool in managing PTSD symptoms over time. Unlike full-dose psychedelic sessions, microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual amounts of plant medicine on a regular schedule. While the doses are too small to induce a full psychedelic experience, they can have subtle but profound effects on mood, cognition, and emotional regulation.

For those with PTSD, microdosing can help alleviate anxiety, reduce emotional reactivity, and improve focus and clarity. By promoting neuroplasticity, microdosing supports the brain’s ability to heal from trauma, making it easier to break free from negative thought patterns and emotional triggers. Combined with therapeutic integration and support, microdosing can be a powerful addition to your healing journey, helping you regain balance and well-being in daily life.

Voices from my clients. Beautiful people who have found healing and balance through plant medicine and integration therapy.

William

As I told Ann on our first meeting, I usually loathe gurus, healers and people who portray themselves as if they have all the answers. Ann was never that. On the contrary, she was always authentic and transparent. I am very proud of how farI’ve come and I can’t thank Ann enough for introducing me and guiding me through the alternatives of psychedelics induced therapy.

David

In Anne, I finally met someone with the strength for genuine presence. A person who invested herself in my journey and process, giving me both the courage and trust to let go. Someone who saw my struggles and dared to take my hand, challenging me. And she taught me to work towards something I had never learned or was able to do before – to love. Myself.

Anette

I’m optimistic and positive about the future, knowing that Anne continues to keep our conversation alive, without losing the psychedelic focus. She has a unique ability to address parts of me that needed attention. I find that she speaks a language that resonates with me, and in our conversations, the repressed, silent parts of myself are given voice. Those parts, which depression once silenced, are brought out of exclusion and into light. 

Anne speaks into the darkness and lets the light loose!”.

Peter

Meeting Anne was a turning point. Her unique blend of spiritual insight and grounded guidance through plant medicine created a sacred space for me to explore my inner world. For the first time, I experienced a profound connection to myself and a universe I had only imagined. Anne’s approach helped me tap into a deeper sense of peace, love, and purpose. Now, I feel aligned with my path and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with grace and clarity.

Michael

Working with Anne was transformative. Through her guidance and the integration of plant medicine, I was able to pause, reflect, and reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose. Anne’s supportive presence and intuitive understanding created the space I needed to rediscover what truly matters to me. Today, I approach my life with renewed energy and clarity, no longer feeling trapped but instead excited about the possibilities ahead.
