Integration
Rest, notes, connection, unsettled feelings, resources. Integration is not a task with a deadline, and not every experience contains a message or asks anything of you. Take what helps.

The first few hours after
The first few days after
I had a good time. That is enough.
Not every experience needs to become a lesson or a turning point.
The urge to act on it
A strong pull to change something right now. Worth naming as a pull, not necessarily as a plan.
Who to tell
Talking about it can help. It can also carry real risk depending on who's listening and where.

Writing as an ongoing practice
The most widely recommended way to look at an experience on paper — and the research behind it is thinner than the reputation.

Different rooms, same walls
Two people can share one space and come back with different inner landscapes. Both accounts are real.
Moving the body
Walking, stretching, breathing slowly. The body is part of how people settle — the evidence is survey-level, and that is stated.
2 sources
Ordinary days
Sleep, food, routine, ordinary days. Normalcy is not avoidance — people report it genuinely helps.

The weeks after
Sitting with it
Quiet attention is the most common thing people turn to on their own. No technique is required.

Something still feels unresolved
Some experiences leave a loose thread. There is no deadline to tie it off.
2 sources
One small thing
Grand resolutions tend to fade. One small, concrete change is more likely to actually stick.
1 source
Reading about it
Other people's accounts can make your own feel less strange. Reading is a legitimate thing to do with an experience.
1 source
A doorway that keeps returning
A way to capture a single returning image, before deciding what — if anything — it means.
Coming back from scale
After a sense of vastness, ordinary days can feel dimmer for a while. The contrast is part of the return, not a flaw in you.
Out of step
Two people do not change at the same pace. Being close does not require being synchronized.
Time outside
Time outdoors is commonly recommended and lightly researched. A park counts.
2 sources
Making things
Drawing, music, making things — widely endorsed, basically unresearched. Skill is irrelevant.
1 source
Wait before big decisions
A psychedelic experience can make big changes feel urgent. The research consensus is plain: let them wait.

Talking it through
If you want company in it: a trusted person, a peer group, or a professional. What helps is being heard, not advised.
