This must have hit home because I got a little emotional just reading it! I'm doing a lot of work to unpack my inner child and some of my subconscious beliefs so I really resonate with this. And I appreciate that you aren't just saying that psychadelics will magically heal all your trauma without any work on your end... my experience was I was able to go deeper and process more when I took them BECAUSE I had been to therapy and I was working on it regularly so I already had some healthy pathways for my brain to go down!
