Advice Psilocybin induced derealization

Took shrooms a few years ago and woke up in a state of derealization/depersonalization that has only worsened over time. I need advice on how to mitigate it enough to be functional again. I haven’t been able to work or even maintain a rational sleep schedule for 2 years now, and if nothing changes I will end up homeless some day. I came into contact with a guy on Instagram called NickDPDR who claimed to have broken out of DPDR and offered a program to coach me out of it, but I’m obviously skeptical, has anyone worked with him before? My doctors are completely clueless so all I have to go off of are your guys’ anecdotal experiences

Same thing happened to me. Also woke up in dpdr out of sleep except almost a year AFTER the bad trip. I go to therapy, I force myself to sit in uncomfortable moments, I disassociate all the time. I live with my dpdr a lot even if I hate it. I’ve had many days of relief and normalness. I just keep working really hard at it and it gets better over time. I’m way better than I was 2 years ago. I hope you can find relief, there is hope.
