[Opgelost] What role does the guide play during the psychedelic session, and how is safety supported?

During a psilocybin or MDMA session with Triptherapie, the guide plays a dual role: ensuring your emotional and physical safety, and facilitating a deep therapeutic journey.

In a psilocybin session, the guide takes on a subtle, supportive role. After helping you prepare mentally and emotionally beforehand, they create a calm and safe environment — often enhanced with music, aromatherapy, and gentle lighting. During the session, they remain mostly silent but fully present, ready to offer grounding or comfort if fear or confusion arises. This presence allows you to fully surrender to the introspective journey, which often includes emotional release, vivid visuals, and altered self-awareness.

In an MDMA session, the guide plays a more active role. Because MDMA enhances emotional openness and trust, many clients use this state to process trauma, examine beliefs, or explore relationships. The guide acts as a therapeutic conversation partner, helping to navigate emotional landscapes, offering techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS), and providing steady support when painful memories emerge.

Safety is ensured on multiple levels:

1. Preparation through a detailed intake to assess your mental and physical health, goals, and readiness.
2. Guidance during the session by a professional with expertise in both psychedelics and emotional support.
3. Post-session integration where the guide helps you reflect on the experience and apply insights in your daily life.

As described in this MDMA session experience and, many clients feel deeply supported — even if they were nervous or inexperienced beforehand.
