Using psilocybin to work on relationship patterns -- what's useful, what isn't

Internal Family Systems framework maps well onto psilocybin work for attachment issues. The sessions often surface the 'parts' that drive anxious attachment -- usually protectors formed in early childhood. When those parts can be witnessed with compassion rather than shame, there's often a shift.

I want to be honest: my first session surfaced material about my early childhood that I wasn't prepared for and that destabilized me for a few weeks. If you're working on attachment wounds, please have therapeutic support in place before and after.

Three years and six sessions working specifically on this. What changed: I stopped performing security. The psilocybin alone didn't do that; the therapy in between did. The psilocybin opened doors.
