Both acute crises such as accidents, disasters or acts of terrorism, and long-term stress such as war, abuse or a difficult childhood, can lead to PTSD. Typical of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is that consciousness has been split up or disintegrated. The paradox is that while the traumatic and difficult in one way has become so split off that it  is not available for regular talk therapy, it can at the same time be so intrusive that it rules the life of the person affected. The trauma material is so powerful that it penetrates as intrusive memories or inappropriate patterns of reaction and action. The separation - or dissociation - is essentially a survival strategy, and is useful as long as the situation lasts. So are the intrusive memories, which don&'t let you forget that danger lurks around every corner. This can keep you alive in an extreme situation, sure, but i an ordinary everyday life becomes an obstacle to living a good, peaceful life with healthy and well-functioning relationships. 

​

Psychedelics have very strong associative effects - i.e. the opposite of splitting off or dissociation. In clinical situations, this manifests itself in the form that the client can experience a new connection of both good and unpleasant memories, and that it initiates a process that gives new meaning and a new perspective on the whole thing. This is often experienced as very liberating and healing. When it comes towhythis happens, brain scans of people on psychedelics, as well as before and after pictures, show that psychedelics actually create more connections in the brain - that is, that communication is established between areas that are usually more or less isolated from each other. It must be assumed that this is directly related to why psychedelics can spur completely new perspectives and ideas, as well as more adequate emotions and bodily reactions.

It is also our own experience that psychedelics, used in the right way and in the right setting - as well as under expert guidance - has the potential to heal what is "broken". We are happy to help you take some important steps on the way back to a life of freedom and joy.
