Trip therapy during truffle ceremony
Trip therapy is a supplement that is mainly chosen for individual truffle ceremonies. The therapeutic effect of a truffle ceremony is especially better in small-scale groups and individual sessions. The trip therapy supplement is a personal and holistic approach to achieving your goal and thus responds even more to the therapeutic effect of psychedelics. The body and mind are so connected that we should not really distinguish between the two. During the trip therapy approach we respond to this and we also look at what can be done about the “physical side” of a psychological problem/condition and vice versa.

The timeline of trip therapy
With trip therapy, preparation is important and for most processes this starts 2 weeks before the truffle session. The advice we give usually concerns supplements, nutrition and exercise. We also supplement the advice with viewing, reading and listening tips. Each trip therapy process is unique and the following timeline is common and serves as an example of what trip therapy entails.

Assignment and information
1 day before the sessionAssignment and information

Half an hour before the session
30 minutes before the sessionBefore the session
On the day of the ceremony we will meet as agreed and conduct the session. This is an important day and we will spend about half an hour, or longer if necessary, talking about intentions and goals. We also prepare you here for what you can expect and how you can deal with certain situations.
The intake
The psychedelic sessionThe intake
As soon as you are ready, you can take the psychedelics we make available. We will continue to discuss this and keep an eye on the goals.
The first effects
15-30 minutes after ingestionThe first effects
The first psychedelic effects can occur after about fifteen minutes. This can vary from optical disturbances to the emergence of various feelings. Some experience the beginning as something very nice and others find it unpleasant. During this phase your coach will help you relax, as relaxation plays the key role in starting the psychedelic journey.
The peak
60-90 minutes after ingestionThe introspection
The peak of the psychedelic effects will begin about an hour to an hour and a half after ingestion. This peak is extremely suitable for turning more inward. The coach will give you space for introspection during this phase. Every now and then you can expect a question that you may not be able to answer in words. Depending on your needs, this phase sometimes lasts only 30 minutes or sometimes even two hours.
After the peak
2-5 hours after ingestionComing down
During the coming down, the entire perception will gradually return to the way it was before the trip, but with a number of insights and positive changes. Depending on the dosage, the coming down occurs approximately 2 hours after ingestion. During the coming down we will have more contact again.
End of session
4-10 hours after ingestionFinal discussion session
As soon as you have both feet on the ground again, we will have a final conversation for today. You may still experience the effects of psychedelics mildly. These effects sometimes last 12 hours after ingestion. Even though you can do almost everything again, we recommend that you take it easy and do not make appointments.
Day after the session
Day after the sessionRest day
The day after the psychedelic session can be a day with a lot or little energy. We recommend that you keep this day free just to be safe.
