I try to avoid fear during any trips, shrooms in general are smooth though, lsd is out there and dmt can be way too much to fast, but be responsible and you might be surprised as everyones different. Etizolam can elimate some pre-trip anxiety.

Bozko said: Sorry to bring up the natural vs synth thing falsely. Why would you pick mushrooms over LSD as more therapeutic?
Mushrooms. And not because they're natural but just because they feel healing to me. Same way things like iboga and ayahuasca are revered as "healing" and apparently san pedro as well so yes I would say mushrooms.
It's not because L is synthetic though. I actually find LSD better for nature than mushrooms.

Referring to my first trip with Psilocybin, I was having the time of my life, so along with it I had a strong sense of fearlessness, but I guess its all up to individual preference, well graded MDMA in a therapeutic setting would be beneficial to anxiety issues, as long as you bring common sense along with you.
Hope it goes well friend

I think all psychedelics will bring your fear to the surface, in my experience: mostly before doing them, and perhaps while tuning in... arm yourself with good observational/self-calming skills via meditation, make sure you can go with the flow, don't be careless... and you have nothing to fear (but fear itself!)
But you will fear (I do), every time, and each time you get through it you'll understand yourself better. You can't *control* fear (without becoming somewhat psychorigid) - but being able not to let it take you over/sweep you away - being able to keep it in its place - this happens through facing it.
So I say: all psychedelics will help you help yourself here. I agree with those who mentioned cactus as having a particular calming presence of mind, kind of grandfatherly - but it can be a long experience. Shrooms get more & more chill the more comfortable you are with yourself. But it takes work, the odd hard-time.
Also: heavy heavy metal (not necessarily when you're not tripping)

This.
Probably the best drug for controlling fear is tobacco. But that isn't psychedelic. Weed stops me from neurotic/nervous fears.
Mushrooms took away my fear of death, which is arguably the basis of all fears.
MDMA helped me with fear of intimacy.
Mescaline took away fears relating to submission and depression.

I can only quote one of my favorite films, The Empire Strikes Back.
Luke: What's in there? Yoda: Only what you take with you...
That's how I feel about fear and psychedelics. If you bring the baggage with you, it will rise up to challenge your primitive, mortal, confused mind. The battle is unavoidable, there is no flight, only fight.
But when you emerge from the cave, you will be filled with light.
