So, I have had a interesting life, mainly a lot of trauma. I live in Oregon and if understand correctly it is legal here for medical use. I have tried conventional therapy, and a slew of ssri medication. I do not do well with SSRIs and I'm currently weening myself off of them. My question is, how should I go about telling my doctor that I'm interested in psychedelic therapy? I know there is a stigma with these drugs and in the past I was labeled as a drug seeker by a former doctor. I can't express how bad that made me feel to be labeled as that and pretty much denied treatment. Thank you for the research you have done.
