Tripsitting

Tripsitting is often seen as something easy, but when using psychedelics it is always something that cannot be predicted. Preparing yourself well is always useful, but can you be prepared for everything? This blog is about my role as a trip sitter during a psychedelic trip of five Romanian friends.

Trip sitting or trip coaching?

Usually my work consists more of trip coaching than trip sitting. In trip coaching there is usually a therapeutic purpose and in tripsiting it seems that it is more for fun or curiosity. Nevertheless, assignments that are requested as tripsit also create situations that you can label as therapy. Especially with deeper trips, situations arise that can cause personal growth because a connection can be made with the subconscious. It is precisely there in the subconscious that you often find answers to questions that you did not know you had in advance. This is what happened with last Saturday's group.

The trip sitting session in Amsterdam

One of the Romanian friends has asked me to act as a trip sitter. He had booked a hotel in Amsterdam center and he wanted to make his hotel room available to the group with the idea that it was for fun and a kind of introduction to get to know psychedelics. I myself prefer to use psychedelics as a therapeutic agent, but I agreed to help this group anyway. So last Saturday it was time and I traveled to the Krasnapolsky hotel in Amsterdam.

From trip sitting to ceremony

We started with a low dose of psilocybin and during the training phase I was able to entertain everyone by bringing games. Already after about an hour the group wanted to experience the ceremony as I usually organize it. This was because no one was afraid anymore of what might happen. So the tension was gone. We then slightly increased the dose of psilocybin. In the end, the trip changed from something done for fun to something deeper where we had to deal with terms such as the urge for perfection and old pains. This way, this trip still has a therapeutic effect.

The dynamics of the group

The dynamics of the group this blog is about was very good. This provided peace and confidence and the space to be who someone is. If you ever want to undergo a truffle ceremony yourself, put together your group yourself and keep it small. We at triptherapie.nl can advise and guide you.

Our tripsitter services

We always try to do more than just trip sitting. If a specific goal needs to be worked on, such as depression, anxiety or other complaints, we can also make a personal plan with support before, during and after the trip.

Reserve immediately

You can book directly using the form below. Please note that you should not use SSRIs, MAO inhibitors, lithium, antipsychotics, antidepressants or tramadol in combination with psychedelics. Even if you are sensitive to psychosis, it is better not to participate in a psychedelic trip.

Use the form below if you book a hotel or Airbnb yourself or make your home available. Only one person per group needs to make the reservation. Any additional costs (call-out costs at 25 cents per km and extra persons at 75 euros per person) will be charged later. If you are going to book a location yourself, it is useful to know that Amsterdam, Haarlem and Alkmaar are the closest cities and that you can also book something in nature somewhere in between if that is your preference.

We usually advise the strength of the trip for the first trip that you make at triplevel 3. Of course we can change this later in consultation.
