Engage with a professional to help you unpack
You can certainly use your regular therapist or one that specializes in sacred plant medicines, but someone who understands this particular plant medicine will provide better intelligent counsel. Not all retreats and centers offer such a service, but in recent years, the need for post-retreat integration coaching has become obvious to all who walk in the Ayahuasca world.
If you elect to not engage some kind of help to unpack your bag full of Aya-facilitated self-revelations, both the good and the hard, chances are your suitcase may sit untouched, still laden with beautiful garments you’ve forgotten to wear. While post-retreat long term effects are often remarkably positive (people report spontaneously quitting smoking and drinking or other addictions), some are known to fall into post-retreat depression because nothing seems to have changed in the world they’ve rejoined.
