The Nuclear Option: A Personal Story of Treating Social Anxiety with 5-MeO-DMT Psychedelic Therapy

Jacob was finally fed up with his debilitating social anxiety. As a successful businessman with a wife and kids, he had achieved what most people would call success, but for some reason his anxiety levels and social awkwardness seemed to be getting worse by the year. Having exhausted conventional treatment routes, Jacob started investigating alternative approaches—including the use of psychedelics.

Jacob had never tried psychedelics before in his life. He considered himself a logical rationalist with a self-described “zero tolerance for woo-woo,” so when his search for social anxiety treatment lead him to a psychospiritual retreat center in Mexico, referred to him by Psychedelic Times, he felt completely out of his element. But Jacob was willing to try anything, so he dove in.

Psychedelic Times had the chance to speak with Jacob (whose name has been changed to maintain anonymity) about his journey to Medicine Heart in Rosarito, Mexico, and the uncanny healing he experienced there.
