Depression and anxiety can take over and make daily living seem unbearable and any relief feels impossible. The seeds of depression and anxiety can be planted by way of childhood instability, neglect or abuse, or even events later in life. By shifting perspectives, the opportunity to break the cycle of negative and destructive thoughts and behaviors is possible.

Joe, as a child, experienced a dysfunctional home-life and the instability of foster care. As an adult he struggled on and off with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. Most recently, he struggled with the lack of a sense of direction and bouts with pretty significant depression.

He eventually turned to the healing power of psilocybin and as a result, has come to believe that, “Coming away from the experience, my depressive thoughts and the fear of the potential consequences of those thoughts completely evaporated. Life and I aren’t perfect, but it is far, far better than the alternatives.”
