How do I rebuild trust in my own mind after experiencing psychosis?

Your mind has betrayed you. That's real, and it takes time to rebuild what breaks. The Yoga Sutras speak about *asmita*—the sense of self—and psychosis shatters that foundation. So this isn't just about getting better; it's about relearning who you are. Start small. Trust isn't rebuilt in grand gestures; it's built in micro-moments. Notice when your mind *does* work—when you follow a thought clearly, when you catch yourself drifting and come back, when you solve something or remember something true. These aren't small. They're everything. Second: distinguish between the experiencing mind and the observing mind. Psychosis often hijacks one; the other stays intact. That observer—the part that can notice "I'm having a thought" rather than *being* the thought—that part didn't break. It's still there. Third: build a team. Therapist, doctor, trusted people, maybe a practice. You don't need to trust your mind alone anymore. That's not weakness; that's wisdom. Many people find that their deepest healing comes when they stop trying to do it solo. Trust returns gradually, through repetition, through being met with care, and through practice that proves to you: you can observe, choose, and stay present. That's the real trust.
