After a $5500 legal psilocybin mushroom retreat and several months of $250 an hour integration therapy, a licensed psychedelic clinician in Colorado has put it plainly to their client that their condition will likely not improve until they are the beneficiaries of generational wealth.
According to sources close to the situation, the patient initially sought treatment for persisting anxiety related to mounting debt precipitated by systemic socioeconomic issues including housing instability and the psychological toll incurred by working three freelance jobs with no safety net.
The therapist, who is offering their services on a sliding scale down from the usual $425 per hour to accommodate the extenuating circumstances, is highly sought after in the legal psychedelic therapy space after publishing a viral article titled “Decolonizing Abundance”. It took only one retreat and 16 sessions for them to formally conclude that the client was suffering from poverty and needed to address this core issue before proceeding further into therapy.
“You’ve done beautiful work regulating your nervous system,” the therapist explained during a ketamine-assisted integration session held inside a refurbished Airstream trailer. “But have you considered inheriting real estate?”
Insiders familiar with the situation report the patient became emotional after realizing that they were going further into debt trying to absolve debt-related issues, while the therapist was simultaneously looking to offload dead weight on their schedule to free up time for the increasing flow of high net worth individuals recently destabilized by overuse of 5-MeO-DMT as a biohacking tool.
The therapist later clarified that wealth itself is not healing, but acknowledged it can significantly improve one’s ability to “hold space for uncertainty” while living in a $3.2 million home in Boulder.
