They won’t do anything if you don’t put in the work. They’ll give you a 4-6 hour experience of access to your emotions, and which ones are often most affected by set and setting. It’s basically breaking down the walls between you and your emotional self.
It mostly gives you a break, and shows you a goal. So putting in the work is a matter of taking from that experience and changing your life/behavior to start breaking down the emotional walls now that you know what emotions actually feel like.
It’s rarely one and done and depression is complex. Sometimes you need a reminder as well. You’ll sill need to change your neuro-chemical condition and literal brain structure. That could be simply behavioral, sometimes psychological, and sometimes it’s hard wired.
In all cases progress is slow. Getting better takes years and you’re not looking for perfect here. There is no failure, feeling like your back pedaling can often be part of growth.
Also don’t skip regular therapy as long as you can afford it, just find a therapist you like. They’re professionals. They won’t be offended if you want to switch. If they are then they’re a shit therapist and run even faster.
Yeah that’s a really tough knot. My main point is that it’s rarely a miracle cure. But honestly you seem like you could use that 4-6hr recreationally 😁. I hope it helps you!
If it means anything i can relate in terms is the depression, anxiety, and burnout leading to pretty bad executive dysfunction and being convinced i had severe ADHD(undiagnosed, it’s mild if i have it). That was the last 5 years of my life. Moving to another country ended up being what enabled my ability to work on it.
