How does psilocybin affect neuroplasticity, as discussed in the episode Dr. Charan Ranganath: How to Improve Memory & Focus Using Science Protocols and the clip Psychedelics and Plasticity?
Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, based on the examples from the episodes #453 My MDMA and Psilocybin Journey Unpacked - With Mike Zeller and Emotional Healing Journey, as well as the episode 172: Spotting a narcissist, healing from trauma, anxiety, and the gut-brain connection with psychotherapist Megan Bruneau, M.A. and the Healing Through Relationships segment? For instance, I produced a huge activation that was the largest success of my career, which opened on my mother's birthday. Two weeks later, she died in her sleep. Now, when I attempt to work on large, challenging projects like this one, I can start the process creatively but have great trouble following through on distributing it to people who could help me execute it. Is that a fair analysis of how my mind is perceiving my actions as leading to a similar tragic outcome?
