Psychedelic medicines have been studied in the Western medical literature consistently for over 100 years, over 60 of which in the ongoing study and practice of racemic ketamine. Psychedelic experiences are described similarly and often felt as profoundly meaningful.
As someone who underwent ketamine therapy for several months and saw a lasting effect I would say absolutely, 100%. Not only did it eliminate my trauma triggers for a long time after, it also provided a safe time and space that I could use to explore my inner intricacies and memories in a way that was supportive of healing. I was (and always have been) in a place where I didn’t feel safe anywhere or anytime, save for that hour when I was hooked up to the IV and in my own inner world. It was like dreaming but more coherent and clear. And to me that was extremely valuable.
