094 | When Psychedelics Make Things Worse: Navigating Integration Challenges & "Ego Whiplash"

Psychedelics don’t always make things better. Jesse’s psychedelic ego death experience cracked Jesse open to feel deeply, which was a new experience for her. After the love and bliss from the experience faded, she was left to process a lifetime worth of repressed pain. 

Jesse went through challenges such as ego whiplash, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and depression for months after her psychedelic experience. But it's not all bad: she was able to harness this challenging time as a point of transformation. In this episode, she is sharing the depth of her experience with us, and how she managed to come out on the other side.

Topics Covered:

• Jesse’s mindset and intentions before her challenging 5-MeO-DMT experience
• The core “unlovable” wound Jesse healed during her experience
