I really hope that we can expand the abilities of the mental health providers to incorporate treatments with psychoactive substances. I don’t know if you listen to Joe rogan at all but there’s been so much research and benefit especially on soldiers and people coming back from war with iyahuasca (spelling most likely) and to a lesser extent pscilicybin (spelling again..) specifically around the PTSD topic. Whatever it does it helps people like yourself process it properly.
To the therapist that avoided and changed the topic - they should be fired, flat out. If someone in your position needs to discuss something and they ignore you and change the subject that’s dereliction of duty and they shouldn’t be practicing anymore. That frustrates me!
I’m glad you found this book, I know some of the soldiers that talk on Rogan have done the psychoactive stuff and hopefully have written about it I don’t know their names but I know it’s expanding. The big thing is it needs to be handled in a professional setting not in a living room with nobody around.
