~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 i heard someone describe the 'trip' he went on struggling with P.T.S.D (veteran) and how the experience had him leave his trauma behind with The Light he met on his psychedelic journey.

He only ever used it once! Neither did he needed any further counselling. He literally picked up his sick bed and walked.

Impressive i remember thinking.

However i also heard of others, using it without medical supervision or proper supports, who end-up with a massive overload of trauma, for many hours, so instead of unloading their trauma they made things even worse.

These people were to scared to ever try it again [edited by moderator].

It is not without risks by the looks of it, but has a lot of success when done properly medically supervised.

Just hear say right!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@PeppyPatti yeah I have been talking to a guy on social media as he finds alternative therapies [edited by moderator] very helpful for his PTSD. But I think there are side effects if you use it long term.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@DownMoreThanUp wow that is amazing about the veteran.

My doctor suggested that I do some

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, but when I started looking into it. I came across some people that said it was the worst decision they ever made and one guy ended up in hospital so traumatised. Here is a link from one person.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EMDR/comments/10yr5az/emdr_worst_decision_of_my_life/

Then I came across a TED talk about Psychedelic therapy and it sounded very interesting.
