At TruPaths, we honor the deep intentions behind using powerful plant medicines like DMT and ayahuasca. These substances have been used in indigenous healing for centuries and can offer real emotional and spiritual insight. But in modern use, without proper guidance or integration, they can also leave people feeling unraveled, disconnected, or confused.
This page exists to provide gentle education and point you or your loved one toward safe, specialized support for psychedelic-related challenges. We are not a treatment provider but we connect you with trusted programs that understand how to help.
DMT is a powerful psychedelic compound that produces intense, short-lasting hallucinations and altered states of consciousness. Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian brew containing DMT and MAO inhibitors, used in ceremonial contexts for deep spiritual and psychological experiences lasting several hours. While often described as “transformational,” these substances can also lead to:
Spiritual confusion or crisis
Flashbacks or depersonalization
Emotional flooding without tools to process it
Difficulty returning to a grounded daily life
Emotional Turmoil After Ceremony
Ongoing fear, insomnia, or anxiety that doesn't ease after your psychedelic journey.
Losing Touch with Real Life
Struggling to care about everyday tasks, relationships, or personal goals.
Feeling Lost in Integration
Stuck in Limbo trying to process your experience without guidance or clarity.
Obsessive Spiritual Loops
Feeling detached from your body or fixating on mystical meanings without grounding.
Mental Fog or Distorted Reality
Persistent hallucinations, paranoia, or trouble thinking clearly post-ceremony.
Chasing the Healing Again & Again
Using DMT or Ayahuasca repeatedly in an attempt to "fix" or re-access the last trip.
At TruPaths, we believe recovery after DMT or ayahuasca isn’t about “quitting psychedelics” it’s about reconnecting to your body, your mind, and your sense of safety in the world. That might mean therapy, spiritual support, or temporary abstinence. We connect you with:
Specialists who help you make sense of intense journeys and ground in everyday life.
Care that addresses underlying trauma alongside psychedelic effects.
Clinicians who understand the emotional waves that can follow powerful plant medicine.
Support that honors the traditions behind ayahuasca or DMT and helps you re-enter with integrity.
DMT experiences can be profound and overwhelming. Recovery emphasizes integration, emotional regulation, and supportive practices that bring insights into daily life.
Supports individuals in processing DMT experiences, integrating insights, and preventing confusion or emotional distress.
Guides individuals in exploring spiritual growth, purpose, and connection beyond substance use.
A body-based therapy that helps individuals release stored trauma and restore a sense of calm and safety in the nervous system.
Helps individuals stay present, process powerful insights, and regulate emotions through mindful awareness and breath techniques.
Both therapies help resolve trauma. IFS by exploring inner “parts” of the self, and EMDR by reprocessing painful memories to reduce distress.
Structured therapies that strengthen coping skills, reduce cravings, and help manage overwhelming emotions.
We believe people turn to DMT and ayahuasca with deep intention and we believe you still deserve support, safety, and grounded transformation, even if your experience didn’t go as planned.
If your journey left you feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure how to reintegrate, TruPaths is here to help you land gently, safely, and with care.
