Do you think modern psychotherapists would understand psychedelics?

Would you ever mention that you enjoy acid or shrooms to a psychotherapist?

I mentioned it. He didnt lecture me ( probably because i had already stopped using ) but it should be obvious that 99.9% of them won't approve.

I guess it's something that can be avoided anyway if needed as psychedelics aren't addictive for most people anyway.

Have mentioned to one before. They don't really have a clue what it is like, good or bad trip. They see no value in it. They don't know a great deal about psyche drugs either.
Same place I always went to and they all have different opinions. Society is so rigid and they do try to protect people.

ABSOLUTELY.
At least the good ones would. True empathy is genuine and felt wholeheartedly; so if said therapist had any insight to the path you are on he himself would have to have the answers and insight as to where it (can) leads.
IMO.

I told my therapist that I thought that shrooms had helped me with a medical problem and he told me it was illegal with serious legal consequences, that he wasn't judging me for it but that he was concerned that I would do it again if I thought it was helpful for me.
I've lied to doctors before though when they've asked me if I'm doing any illegal drugs because I think they might record it and it'll come back to bite me in the ass one day.

They're too busy pushing benzos, tricyclic antidepressants,and amphetamines.
The real psychotherapists are the old hippies who lead psychedelic experiences and do their service at cost to the needy peoples.

I'd get personal with him at that point. I'd ask him what drugs he's experimented with, if any, and if he refused I'd tell him I don't feel comfortable in having a one way relationship with anyone, it just doesn't go with the natural order of things IMO; but then again he could be worried about you blabbing about it at which point you should conduct yourself like an adult thats capable of confidentiality.

Psychiatrists do that but I think psychotherapy is partly about working through issues rather than using drugs to numb them.

Fuck yeah. You're wasting your time with a therapist if you aint being 100% truthful with them.
My old therapist never admitted it, but I'm pretty sure she'd at least done acid in her time... Problem is, there's so many fucking clowns in that game. I lucked out in getting a good one.

Almost every person ive seen on legal dope gets really bad from kpins,zans,anti depressants. They usually hit rock bottom from alcoholism over a course of months an have relapses over several more if they haven't gotten on street dope. With mushrooms you can get over years of shit in your mind in a few hours. Even a bad trip can reveal some things to ,thats how i got dope outa my mind after i got them outa my body, it was horrible at the time like ripping out a giant splinter except from my mind but it had to be done to get better. That only last for some hours. Psychedelics have a way of making you face your demons, seeing yourself in 3rd person an getting over some shit thats been troubling me. I heard some progress with mdma therapy so that a huge step forward.
