Using psychotropics to enhance the process of grieving

I have used psychedelics (mushrooms) and other drugs (kava, ashwaganda) to help process grief after a loss. Have you used any drugs in a similar way? To help process difficult emotions or gain insight? Has it been helpful, or do you think it was counterproductive? What are some other drugs that could be used like this?<br><br>**My story:**<br><br>Using psychedelics to process and work through difficult emotions has been an emotional release for me in the past but this time I also found a profound new perspective on a loss I was grieving.<br><br>I lost my father suddenly, completely unexpected and I was devastated. I felt like I was conducting an orchestra of sadness and bitterness: deep sorrow, frustration, anger, regret and longing. It was a huge burden that I was carrying around with me. <br><br>I decided to take a trip to work through my emotions. I had a very deep and healing trip, completely abandoned in a forest. During the trip I was able to see my father in a vision in which I was able to tell him everything I wanted to tell him that I wasn't able to tell him in life but also where I accepted his passing. I saw him everywhere later in the trip and it was a great comfort. <br><br>The worst and most difficult emotions are still there but the emotional orchestra has been greatly toned down. I feel lighter, freer. And I also feel like I can process these difficult emotions more easily myself without relying on the drugs. It has definitely helped me with my grief.<br><br>I am curious about your experiences.
