    offer free therapy from people passionate about helping others, instead of charging them an arm and a leg for an hour of one persons narrow minded view of the world. i think more people would get therapy if that were the case.

    until then, its okay to get it if you can afford it, or rely on friends, and family when you need to.

    however on a personal note, nothing in my life has removed the burden of existence and replaced it with univeral connection, joy, and love for others and all living things like magic mushrooms have.

    and on another personal note, therapy cannot change the external world, just how you choose to react to it. and especially these days, introspection and pills cannot save you from fascism, climate change, WW3, and poverty. among other things. it may just change your perspective on it.

    throwing therapy into someones face as the only answer is a small minded view of reality. its not the answer for everyone. but it does have value in certain specific situations, for certain, specific people.

      Depending on the point of view, each one of us is a certain specific person, in a specific situation.

      Edit: i hear you on the magic mushrooms. Actually a silly name, for such peace of mind bringing mushrooms. It is also not just a “high” feeling. The things you think about, under the influence, stay with you after the experience.

      And, for me at least, i came out of every experience, with lasting sane decisions. It made me a calmer person, but also much more active physically, by embracing exercises.

      Is difficult to explain and since it’s a mushroom, not a human produced drug with the intention to get you high, who knows what real benefits it brings with it?

      I read somewhere, that every mushroom experience actually rewires some of your neurons.
