Psychedelic therapy Netherlands

Psilocybin therapy is truffle therapy

Here in the Netherlands, psilocybin therapy is actually truffle therapy since psilocybin is still illegal, but truffles containing psilocybin are not. If we really want to say it correctly, it is not even psilocybin that provides the psychedelic effect, but psilocin.

After the conversion of psilocybin to psilocin, this psychedelic gets its hallucinatory effect. Psilocin is also very similar to serotonin and will show activity on many of the same serotonergic receptors. Many of the therapeutic uses of psilocybin/psilocin are directed at conditions involving low serotonin levels. Higher doses of psilocybin can also contribute to new nerve connections in the brain, so that neurodegenerative disorders can be (partially) treated.

Ongoing studies on psilocybin

The number of studies on psilocybin has been on the rise for years, even though it is not a patented drug. This fact clearly shows that the potency of psilocybin is enormous. The currently ongoing studies use psilocybin in:

• Alcoholism (AUD, alcohol use disorder)
• Smoking addiction
• Opioid addiction
• Major depression (depressive disorder Major)
• Treatment resistant depression
• Anxiety complaints
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Body Dysmorphic Disorders (BDD)
• Anorexia
• Alzheimer's
• Parkinson's
• Migraine
• Cluster headache

The results are promising

The results of the pilots and the studies already completed are promising and effective. The studies that are done are only on the effect of psilocybin. We use psilocybin sessions in combination with lifestyle coaching so that we address health in several areas at the same time. Here at trip therapy we can only provide anecdotal evidence about the effectiveness of our psilocybin sessions. We get good results in depression treatments with psilocybin in the first place. In addition, also for addictions, burnout, anxiety and low self-esteem.

More research on psilocybin

There is much more research on psilocybin to come. Some currently theoretical medicinal effects of psilocybin include the following topics of interest:

• Psilocybin to awaken coma patients
• Psilocybin against autism and Asperger's
• Psilocybin against ADD and ADHD
• Psilocybin against MS

Undergoing a psilocybin session

Do you also want to do a psilocybin session? Preparation is very important and it is good to ask yourself why you want to do a session. It is also wise to improve the current neurochemistry in the brain so that the session goes better and has more impact. The dosage also plays a major role. People with anxiety often use lower doses than for other sessions. Do you want a personal plan for neurochemistry, preparation and discussion? Then choose trip therapy. Do you just want to do a session without these perks? Then opt for a truffle ceremony.
