[[Parts]], including [[Protectors]] and [[Exiles]], can be more relaxed than usual during a psychedelic trip. This seems to at least partially be because [[Psychedelics can help you access Self]]. However, when protectors relax, exiles can read this as an opportunity to show you the burdens and trauma that had previously been exiled by the now relaxed protectors: [[Exiles can flood your system once protectors relax]]. Without appropriate care, this can be re-traumatizing. See also: [[Healing is safer when it's done slowly]]. However, if you can access [[Self]], and/or you have the guidance of another who's sharing their [[Self-energy]] with you, psychedelic trips can be an opportunity for deep healing. One clever development of [[IFS]] is the recognition that exiles will usually be willing to contain/titrate their experience instead of flooding your system with their trauma and burdens if you ask them to.
