[Opgelost] Psilocybin therapy or ceremony after a lot of neurofeedback sessions

The fact that you only experienced minor changes with neurofeedback does not mean that psilocybin wouldn’t be effective for you. Neurofeedback works by training brainwave patterns and can be subtle in its results. A psilocybin session works very differently: it opens a temporary window in which suppressed emotions, fixed patterns, and unconscious beliefs can come to the surface. This often leads to breakthroughs where traditional methods or neurofeedback alone might not have gone deep enough. The outcome depends strongly on preparation, the right dosage, your personal intention, and the integration afterwards. Since you already have experience with self-development processes, psilocybin could potentially be a strong complement to your journey.

Other points on combining psilocybin with neurofeedback at the same time:

1. Neurofeedback and psilocybin can be complementary. Triptherapie’s therapist Gijs explains that he trained as a neurofeedback trainer and is now researching how combining neurofeedback with psychedelics may improve outcomes; the first results are promising. This indicates that limited gains from neurofeedback alone do not preclude further benefits when psychedelics are added.

2. Scientific research supports this synergy. A small randomized, semi‑naturalistic study of psilocybin‑assisted neurofeedback found that participants reported medium‑to‑high improvements in everyday executive functions (planning, organization and self‑regulation) even though neurofeedback alone did not produce significant cognitive gains. Researchers suggest that psilocybin’s action at 5‑HT2A receptors may promote neuroplasticity, potentially making the brain more receptive to therapy.

3. Individual variability matters. We emphasises that psychedelics invite a deep inner journey and can promote self‑love and letting go. Even if neurofeedback produced only minor changes, psilocybin could facilitate more profound insights by temporarily “loosening” rigid thought patterns and allowing new perspectives.
