Choosing private psychedelic therapy
When people want to use psychedelics as therapy, they often choose a one-on-one session or a couples session with a partner. They less often opt for a group ceremony like a truffle ceremony, as there's less support and guidance from a therapist per participant. Read more on this page if you're interested in a private session for yourself.
The guidance surrounding a therapeutic truffle session
We can fully tailor the level of support surrounding your truffle session to your needs, including additional talk therapy with your chosen therapist, group integration, and microdosing support. The following are included as standard with every truffle session booked:
-
Personal preparation through intakeBased on the online intake, you'll receive personalized advice from a lifestyle coach on nutrition, supplements, and mental preparation. This will lay the foundation for starting the session feeling both physically and emotionally strong and balanced.
- Preparatory conversation with therapistThe chosen therapist will contact you the week before the actual session to thoroughly prepare for the truffle session. This typically includes an hour of contact via phone, video call, or in person. The therapist may choose to provide additional exercises to enhance the therapy's effectiveness.
-
1-on-1 guidance during the sessionYou will receive personal guidance from your chosen therapist. The psychedelic session typically lasts up to six hours and can be extended if needed.
-
Use of legal psilocybin trufflesThe dosage will be determined in consultation and tailored to your experience, needs, and sensitivity. This can range from a mild psycholytic experience to a deep inner journey. Truffles are included, but you are welcome to provide your own psychedelics.
-
Post-integration discussionAfter the session, you'll receive personal guidance to process the insights and apply them to your daily life. This consultation usually takes place one or more days or weeks after the session and is included in the program. This includes an hour for phone calls, video calls, or in-person meetings.
Choosing a therapist
Choosing a therapist for your truffle session is an important step in the Triptherapie process. You'll have the control to choose who you'll embark on this deep inner journey with, giving you the freedom to choose a therapist who truly suits you.
Within Triptherapie, we have a variety of counselors available, with diverse backgrounds, expertise, and areas of expertise. If you primarily want to use the session in combination with talk therapy, it's best to choose a counselor with psychological or therapeutic training, such as Ronald, Gijs, Sascha or Reineke, They all have experience in mental health care and additional training in areas such as EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy. If you prefer to choose a guide with extensive experience, for example Marcel and Janneke strong choices.
Which counselor suits you best depends on your personal preferences: do you want a man or a woman, a more spiritual or psychological approach, someone with a gentle energy or more structure?
An important piece of advice: feel free to choose based on trust and connection. Feeling safe with your therapist is essential for a successful and profound experience.
