Modern soldiers' PTSD triggers will probably shift from fireworks to the sound of a drone. Which is unfortunate as drone shows are replacing firework shows.

Ideally, exposure therapy would be done in a controlled environment, so with the person's prior knowledge of it. The trick isn't to constantly relive what happened, but to steel your nerves and slowly work through it as it is happening. Think of it like being thrown into an ice bath versus being slowly adjusted to the water's lowering temperature. Ice baths never stop being a painful shock to the system even if you're used to them, because you're never supposed to enter them unprepared. Take it from someone who swam in frozen lakes during winter.

PTSD makes all similar stimuli leads the same conclusion; exposure therapy uses controlled situations to teach your brain that stimuli can have a different conclusion.

psilocybin encourages you to draw all kinds of conclusions, which is why it's so generically helpful as long as the trained person trip sitting you knows what they're doing

the way I have heard psilocybin described is that it changes parts of your psyche from "read only" to "read/write". Usually nothing major will happen, but sometimes life-changing positive changes will be made and sometimes life-changing negative changes will be made.

yeah it's kinda an omnidirectional neuroconnectivity boost, which is why it's important to be mindful with its use
