Psilocybe caerulescens and a case of burnout
Shamans can be medicine men, fortune tellers, and
magicians. Their tasks include healing the sick, rituals
concerned with death and dying, repelling evil spirits,
prophesying, interpretation of dreams, social integra-
tion, and dealing with mentally disturbed people.
Shamans function as the teachers of myths and history,
and the guardians of knowledge. They are also spirit-
ual advisors and they take care that the group has a
harmonious relationship to the environment and their
neighbors. Shamans exist to this day in a wide range
of cultures.

CASE : fifty-six-year-old woman, burnout, rheumatic
complaints, organ weakness; initial casetaking on
October 19, 2012
Casetaking (summarized)
Annette Sneevliet (AS):
Tell me, what brings you here?
Patient (P):
“For the past two years, I’ve been in a state of
burnout, both physically and spiritually. I am in a deep rut; I’ve
got no inspiration at all. I’ve got rheumatic complaints, bursitis
and pain in my shoulders. My heart and liver feel weak. Specialists
have found white patches in my brains on the CT scan. All the
fine lines have gone (hand gesture, HG).
“I am chaotic and impulsive, I can’t plan things anymore. Now,
I realize how vulnerable body and mind are; I feel like I’m close
to death. I feel disoriented by this destruction of my brain tissue
(HG). Am I living my passion enough? Due to a lack of money,
I have been doing work that I don’t feel good with. I would
actually prefer to only do energetic healing work, to use my
shamanic talents. After all, a healthy person is an endless
source of energy (HG), but I don’t have any energy anymore.
“I have palpitations, “trrrirr” (HG) like that. I’m depressed, and
I haven’t slept well for years now. My nose is continually
blocked; that makes me panic, thinking that my cells won’t be
getting enough oxygen. I’m so tired that even walking for an
hour is too much for me. I lose the overview of everything, I
often don’t remember what I have done or said; it’s a sort of
vague disorientation.
“If only I could do my own work. I am a shaman. My life is all
about transformation processes (HG), transforming my life’s
path and facilitating this for others. I mostly do this with
groups: using a drum, I bring myself and the others into a
trance. It’s about growth, transformation, and connection
(HG), the exchange of energy, giving and receiving, coming
into the same vibration. At my usual work, there is no ex-
change of energy (HG), and in my daily life, my love is rejected.
Then, there is no fuel for my cells, no oxygen, and my body gets
eaten up. It is chaos and disintegration, everything falls apart,
processes are not linked. It is dark. There is a non-organized
anarchy in my body.”
