This is UNFATHOMABLE. He should be dead | Harm Reduction at Shambhala

A festival attendee shares their experience of surviving a life-threatening serotonin syndrome after consuming extreme daily doses of MDMA. The participant describes a transformative DMT experience where they visualized a dark, box-like space that manifested their past anger and negativity, followed by a relief that helped reframe their perspective on life and self-love. Through therapeutic practices like DBT, the individual learns to sit with difficult emotions rather than suppressing them, emphasizing the importance of staying present rather than running from discomfort. The discussion highlights the dangers of excessive substance use and the profound, and sometimes overwhelming, impact that psychedelic experiences can have on personal development and emotional maturity.
