I came here to say mushrooms as well but I think for me it's as much a direct pharmacological effect on my depression and adhd as it is the accumulation of downstream effects on my mindfulness toolkit/coping skills. I say this because I can feel my perception change and the effort required to exert my attention climb around 9-12 months after my last trip and these changes evaporate nearly immediately post trip. Maybe I wouldn't experience this if I went back on methylphenidate but the side effects got rough as I got old

there is some scientific backing to this approach, I've learned about later on. psychedelics can help bump you off mental patterns, and mindfulness can help you create new patterns intentionally. the key though is in the combo.
