Traumadelic 

Coined by Canadian writer and podcast host Brian James, “traumadelic“ refers to the takeover of the psychedelic renaissance by trauma culture.
Western therapy has snatched psychedelics out of the hands of the shaman and has tried to turn them from something that reveals the soul or spirit (psychedelic) into something that reveals only childhood trauma — hence my term “traumadelic.”
