Interview about MDMA therapy by Nieuwe Revu
At the request of Nieuwe Revu, we collaborated on an interview about psychedelic sessions. We took part because Triptherapie is the first provider of MDMA sessions in the Netherlands (using a then-legal analogue). The interview was primarily supposed to focus on the MDMA sessions we offer, the reasons clients have, and what results these sessions produce. Furthermore, we would be given space to talk about the various forms of trip therapy and explain our working method.
The article in the Nieuwe Revu is called ‘Trippen als therapie’ and is available in shops this week (week 11).
Below is only a portion of the article. The online version will be released later and we will share the link to the online article at a later date.
Marcel and Linda contributed to this article. Linda no longer works for Triptherapie. You can read more about Marcel via the button below.
A piece of the article
Millennials with eco-anxiety, lonely young people, over-70s with obsessive-compulsive disorders or anxiety, burnout cases, people with PTSD or mood swings, or simply people
without clear complaints, but nevertheless looking for ‘something new’ or ‘spiritual enrichment’. Marcel and Linda see a very diverse audience coming by weekly. ‘Nine out of ten
people feel helped by us. New insights, self-knowledge and fewer symptoms are the most frequently heard experiences.’ Linda: ‘We experience such wonderful things here. A man who had loathed his body his entire life realised during his trip that he was abused as a little boy and that he is actually homosexual. A colossal revelation. After just one session, that man was truly able to move on with his life. How wonderful is that?’ The wonderful stories seem endless. ‘Some people have to cry for the first time in their lives. Others want to go straight back to their family to tell them how much they love them. Some people need an arm around their shoulder, a cuddle, to be comforted or to feel a sense of security. In advance, we set clear boundaries regarding the level of interaction between the client and us.’ They also do group sessions. ‘Some people like to undergo such a new, and for some nevertheless quite exciting experience together with others,’ Marcel explains. ‘For others, it is precisely very private and intimate.’
Other media coverage
We have previously collaborated on podcasts, news articles and interviews. We do this because we believe it is important that psychedelic therapy becomes better known and mainstream. See below for the older articles and such.
