Microdosing as key to healing and integration in complex trauma
Long-term trauma leaves deep marks. Not only in the memory, but in the body, nervous system and soul. Complex PTSD (cPTSS) often develops after repeated, profound events such as emotional neglect, maltreatment or abuse, usually in childhood. The scars are invisible but tangible: a constant sense of insecurity, dissociation, shame and difficulty connecting. In the shadow of all this, there is a growing need for new, natural paths to recovery. One of these is microdosing with magic truffles.
What exactly is microdosing?
Microdosing means regularly ingesting a very small amount of a psychedelic substance such as psilocybin from magic truffles, without tripping. The dose is around 0.2 to 0.5 grams of truffles. Just enough to experience subtle effects: greater clarity, calmness, openness and connection. It is not a quick fix, but a support in a larger process of healing.
How does microdosing affect the trauma brain?
In people with cPTSS, the nervous system is often in a continuous state of readiness (hyperarousal), or shut down (hypoarousal). Microdosing appears to be regulatory in this. Scientific studies indicate:
- Increased neuroplasticity. Psilocybin stimulates the creation of new connections between brain cells.
- More balance between brain parts. The overactive amygdala (fear centre) becomes less dominant, while the DMN (Default Mode Network) becomes quieter.
- Improved mood and resilience. Serotonin receptors are naturally activated.
Sources such as the work of Dr Robin Carhart-Harris and MAPS show that psychedelics can support structural changes if properly supervised.
What do practitioners tell you?
As a grower, counselor and expert by experience, I hear stories from people with trauma backgrounds on a weekly basis. Some use microdosing to support therapy, others just to climb out of a therapeutic quagmire.
An example:
"I had been in therapy for years. Understanding enough, but no real change. With microdosing, I felt gentleness for the first time. As if my system dared to breathe. It gave me the strength to really allow emotions."
Can microdosing also worsen trauma?
Sure. Microdosing opens the door inward. For people with cPTSS, it can also bring confrontations. Old pain can be released. That is why it is crucial to:
- Seek guidance from a therapist or coach experienced in trauma and microdosing.
- Build up slowly and feel carefully what your body is telling you.
- Creating a safe environment where emotions are allowed to be there.
Microdosing works best in a bed of self-care, therapy, breathwork or other integrative practices.
Why magic truffles and not LSD or synthetics?
Magic truffles are a natural product. They contain psilocybin, but also related alkaloids such as baeocystine and norbaeocystine. This entourage of substances subtly works together. As a grower, I see daily how freshly harvested truffles have a deep, grounding effect. They invite to feel, not to flee. That makes them ideally suited for people who want to transform trauma while respecting the pace of the body.
A bridge between science and wisdom
Modern science is beginning to understand what shamans and plant medicine practitioners have known for centuries: healing comes in layers. Microdosing gently opens the door to the unconscious without ripping it open. Combined with therapy or self-exploration, it can be a gentle catalyst for integration, self-love and restoration of confidence.
