Preparation and Integration / Re: Integrating with depression

Hello tjunes,
It oftentimes makes sense that people who use 5-MeO-DMT to treat chronic mental illness may experience an increase or return of symptoms after having a session that brings relief. It is in these stages where symptoms come back that there is an opportunity to pay attention to how they come back and to see what it would mean to work with those symptoms as guides for healing. I think seeing this as a healing process rather than something that has to take the depression away in one day can be helpful going forward. This can also help maximize the efficacy of integration tools you may utilize.
