Dissociation / Feeling not present

Hi, I have had a rough couple of years in terms of my MH. I felt very down and had a period of feeling like I didn’t want to be here.
This all stems from trauma. I’ve worked with a couple of great therapists talking through stuff which has massively helped.
This has been going on for 2.5 years now where I still feel like I’m watching my life and not feeling it. I have two wonderful children who I’m a single mum to, decent job, great supportive mates. I tried a bit of hypnotherapy lately which unfortunately had some triggering words in so I don’t know whether to continue.
what I’m asking I guess is has anyone had this experience and did you find anything yay helped you ‘snap out of it’. I’ve considered micro dosing mushrooms but am a bit scared to start tbh.

are you on medication? I would try prescription medication before experimentation.

Thanks so much for responding, I’ve been on sertraline before a couple of times which I have come off for feeling better. I know the answer is probably heaps of rest and self care but the reality is I don’t have time with single parenting and working. I might consider going back on medication, I found that can be a bit numbing in itself though

I’ve tried herbal remedies in the past (SJW) but the only trouble with it is that it isn’t regulated like prescription stuff -
neither pharmacists / herbal shops could offer me much advice on quality / dose etc
Maybe a private herbalist could be good
