Experienced guidance during psychedelic sessions
At Triptherapie, we work with a permanent team of experienced counselors, supplemented by content advisors from mental healthcare. Together, we ensure safe, careful, and well-prepared psychedelic sessions, focusing on both the experience and the subsequent integration.
Our facilitators have diverse backgrounds in psychology, coaching, therapy, and body-oriented work. They are united by extensive practical experience with psychedelic sessions, a professional demeanor, and a clear focus on safety, ethics, and personal alignment.
Clear roles and responsibilities
Within Triptherapie we consciously distinguish between different roles:
Facilitators / Trip sitters:
They facilitate the psychedelic sessions themselves. These experienced professionals, with hundreds to thousands of guided sessions under their belts, work according to established protocols for preparation, setting, guidance, and integration.
Therapists and coaches
Some counselors also have a therapeutic or coaching background, such as psychology, psychosocial therapy, bodywork, or trauma-focused methods. This expertise is primarily used for intake, integration, and additional support. These therapists can also guide you through your psychedelic journey.
External advisors (mental health care & care content)
Triptherapie collaborates with advisors from mainstream mental health care. They are not involved in conducting sessions, but provide substantive support for issues related to safety, due diligence, ethics, and integration with mainstream care.
Experience and expertise
Together the Triptherapie team more than 3400 guided sessions Each supervisor works within a clear area of expertise and applies the same core principles:
careful intake and preparation
clear agreements about intention and setting
continuous presence and guidance during the session
attention to integration into daily life
This approach allows us to offer tailor-made solutions, whether it concerns personal growth, emotional processing or deepening insight.
