I hear you.
It is very challenging. 👍
I've always thought smaller stints better for integration anyway. Honestly. With plant medicine journeys (micro-dosing) and with meditation. I get the full course intention but yes... it can be counter productive.
Sorry you had that experience. It sounds frightening :/
I was also pretty shell-shocked after my third one. One would expect it to get easier but I think it just gets deeper each time so...
Sending love. Or metta, that is.
