Will only one psilocybin session be needed?

In many cases, one psilocybin session offers relief and neuroplasticity improvements. Neuroplasticity reconnects brain-area networks once isolated, creating lasting changes.  Therapists may suggest extra sessions to fully address prior trauma or strengthen motivations. 

For instance, a person who has struggled with alcohol use disorder may require two or three sessions. This supports ongoing recovery and reinforces motivation.  Some positive outcomes from the initial journey, like relief from depression, may last for 4-6 months but then wear off. 

In my case, the initial journey in Oregon permanently put alcohol abuse behind me, but I did a few other journeys in the following year to help conquer other addictions like caffeine and to shed “carnivore-ism” in favor of a healthier fish and vegetable focused diet without processed foods.
