Very difficult to articulate my experience with MindBloom
I find it very difficult to articulate my full experience. I have had ineffectual sessions and a few sessions that could be described as "true experiences". My main issue is intrusive thoughts interrupting the experience and causing me to wonder if it's close to the end of the session, at which point I would begin chanting my mantra and trying to regain focus on the experience. I had reservations before I joined the program and I cannot say they have all been addressed. However I did sign up for 6 more sessions as I really want to see if I can experience success going forward. I don't feel particularly different per se but I have had a deeper focus on my marriage and my wife's happiness with my behavior which was a stated goal entering this process and is certainly welcome. Safety was never an issue for me since, as a healthcare worker, I was able to assure my airway was open and clear during the experience but you do need to take heed and watch your blood pressure and make sure you are prepared to chill for several hours afterwards as you are not able to drive, nor should you engage in any activity that requires mental sharpness or important decision making due to lingering effects of the medication. It might work for you and it might not, I have my doubts as to MindBlooms' claim of over 80% success rate.
