Psychedelic ceremony reviews
54 Reviews of psychedelic therapy and ceremonies

This blog contains a lot of reviews about psychedelics sessions for therapeutic and spiritual reasons. Reading reviews about psychedelic therapy can significantly help newcomers decide whether to try psychedelic therapy or participate in a psychedelic ceremony for several key reasons:

1. Real-Life Testimonials Build Trust

The reviews are written by real people who describe their personal journeys, including their fears, breakthroughs, and transformations. This helps new readers relate and feel less alone or uncertain, especially if they’re skeptical or anxious.

2. Clarifies What to Expect

Psychedelic experiences can be hard to imagine. These reviews offer clear, down-to-earth descriptions of what happens during a session—emotionally, mentally, and even physically. Knowing how others prepared, what they experienced, and how they felt afterward helps set realistic expectations.

3. Highlights the Importance of Guidance

Many reviewers emphasize the crucial role of the therapist or guide in making the experience safe, meaningful, and effective. This shows potential clients that it’s not just about the substance, but also about professional support, preparation, and aftercare.

4. Demonstrates Healing Potential

Readers often find hope in others’ healing—whether it’s from depression, PTSD, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Seeing repeated, sincere accounts of recovery can encourage someone who has “tried everything else” to consider this as a viable next step.

5. Normalizes Vulnerability

These reviews show that it’s okay to be nervous, to cry, to feel confused—and that those feelings are often part of the healing process. It reduces stigma and normalizes the emotional intensity of psychedelic therapy.

6. Encourages Informed Decision-Making

By reading many different perspectives (e.g., various therapists, substances, and intentions), newcomers can make a more informed, personal choice about whether psychedelic therapy is right for them—and if so, how and with whom.

Reviews for Sessions with Marcel

Tripsitter Marcel

Marcel is a lead trip coach at Triptherapie, and these reviews reflect sessions involving psilocybin truffles, LSD, and MDMA therapy under his guidance. You can read all Marcel’s reviews here.

  • Saved a Marriage: One couple reported that after four psychedelic therapy sessions with Marcel, their long-strained marriage made a remarkable turnaround. Traditional counseling hadn’t helped, but under Marcel’s guidance (with holistic preparation on nutrition and follow-up care), each psychedelic “trip” brought new benefits. After a final “hippie flip” session, they felt they had finally turned a corner in their relationship and now consider these sessions a worthwhile investment in their marriage, thanking Marcel for the professional and calming support that made them feel safe and hopeful.
  • Positive Endorsement: Another client briefly added that they “had a good experience with Marcel too,” affirming the positive impact of Marcel’s sessions.
  • Life-Changing PTSD Treatment: A client with complex PTSD shared that MDMA-assisted therapy with Marcel accomplished more than years of talk therapy, EMDR, yoga, and meditation. Over three MDMA sessions in six months, Marcel’s deep knowledge and patient, reassuring presence helped release old trauma responses and ingrained emotional patterns. The reviewer said they no longer feel controlled by the past, have a new openness toward others, and can navigate life’s challenges without being overwhelmed by old wounds. They emphasized feeling completely safe with Marcel (calling his patience “saintly”) and would recommend him to anyone, noting that this therapy brought results that surpassed all expectations.
  • Overcoming Social Anxiety: One woman described a profound psilocybin truffle ceremony guided by Marcel that was a bizarre yet illuminating journey (likening it to Alice in Wonderland). She experienced vivid visuals and emotional catharsis, but never fear, thanks to Marcel’s grounding calm throughout. Afterward, she noticed a “clean slate” effect – longstanding social anxieties and negative thought loops had dissolved. In real-life situations (like meeting new people at a party), she felt no panic at all, a change she called “a true wonder”. She credits Marcel’s serene demeanor and the carefully chosen music for allowing her to face even eerie visions without fright, and is extremely grateful for the help, calling the experience something she “couldn’t have wished better.”
  • Chronic Depression Relief: A reviewer recounted how Marcel helped their 70+ year-old mother who suffered from OCD, childhood trauma, and decades of depression. After a psychedelic session with Marcel, this elderly client experienced a dramatic positive shift. The reviewer observed their mother become more optimistic and emotionally liberated, finally seeing hope again after 20 years of decline. They express deep gratitude to Marcel for facilitating this healing in someone who had been struggling for so long.
  • Emotional Breakthrough with LSD: Another client detailed an LSD session with Marcel as intensely strange yet liberating. During the trip they encountered vivid, sometimes scary imagery but felt no fear because Marcel’s steady reassurance gave them courage to explore. The experience brought up tears of relief – “like years of built-up emotions were finally released” – leaving them feeling cleansed. In the days after, they noticed enduring positive changes: a lighter mood and the dissipation of anxiety that had lingered for years. They thank Marcel for guiding them through an indescribable journey and allowing them to achieve a level of emotional freedom they never thought possible.
  • Trauma Healing and Self-Discovery: Multiple clients mention that Marcel’s sessions led to healing of deep-seated traumas and new personal insights. For example, one person described a psilocybin trip as the “most beautiful journey of my life,” which helped heal very old memories and felt like mentally “cleaning house.” Another said their guided psychedelic experience with Marcel helped them confront childhood trauma and depression in a safe environment, leading to noticeable improvements in mood and outlook even weeks later. They emphasize Marcel’s unique combination of therapy, nutrition advice, and lifestyle coaching as crucial to the positive outcome.
  • Holistic Approach Appreciated: Reviewers consistently appreciate that Marcel provides more than just the psychedelic experience – he incorporates advice on diet, exercise, and mindset both before and after the session. Clients feel this holistic approach maximizes the benefits of the trip. Several noted that Marcel’s thorough preparation and follow-up integration made them feel well supported, which helped them gain lasting value from the sessions instead of just a one-off experience.
  • Safety and Professionalism: Nearly every review for Marcel highlights his professionalism, empathy, and the safe space he creates. Clients describe him as calm, patient, and attentive to their needs throughout intense emotional moments. This allowed even nervous or first-time participants to fully let go and trust the process. One client admitted they usually struggle with trust but “trusted Marcel immediately,” which was key to their progress. Others mention that Marcel was available and responsive in the days after the session, showing genuine care.
  • Tangible Life Improvements: Many people credit Marcel’s therapy with concrete improvements in their lives. They talk about relief from years of anxiety or depression, reconnection with family, renewed creativity and joy in life, and even reduction of physical symptoms (as some had chronic conditions like migraines or fibromyalgia that eased after emotional healing). One person said they finally experienced what it’s like to live “in the here and now” without being clouded by stress, and another mentioned feeling “reborn” with a fresh perspective.
  • High Recommendation: The tone of Marcel’s client reviews is overwhelmingly thankful and impressed. Clients frequently use phrases like “highly recommend Marcel to anyone”, and some even say they plan to return for regular sessions as part of their personal growth. There is a recurring sentiment that psychedelic therapy with Marcel succeeded where other methods failed, delivered in a caring and expert manner.

Reviews for Sessions with Ronald

Ronald is a psychedelic therapist known for integrating modalities like IFS with psychedelics. Clients across multiple languages testify to his effective and compassionate therapy. Also check out all Ronald reviews about psychedelic sessions.

  • Intensive MDMA Journey (German review): A German client wrote that their MDMA session with Ronald was a “good and intense journey.” They felt safe throughout the experience and found Ronald’s guidance to be gentle and understanding. The session brought up deep emotions but ultimately proved very healing. They describe the therapy as “eine gute und intensive Reise” – a journey that was challenging at times yet profoundly positive – and thanked Ronald for his compassionate support that made this healing possible.
  • First MDMA Therapy – “Geweldige ervaring!”: A Dutch client reported, “Vorige week heb ik voor de eerste keer MDMA therapie gehad bij Ronald. Wat een geweldige ervaring was dat!” (“Last week I had my first MDMA therapy with Ronald – what an amazing experience that was!”). They explain that they had been struggling for a long time (with depression and burnout symptoms), and were nervous at first, but Ronald’s expertise and reassuring presence put them at ease. The session itself was emotionally intense and highly cathartic, allowing them to process pain that they’d carried for years. Afterwards, they felt relieved and full of new hope, describing the experience as nothing short of transformative. They express deep gratitude to Ronald and call the therapy life-changing, noting they wish they had done it sooner.
  • Second Psilocybin Session – Renewed Hope: Another client had a second psilocybin (magic mushroom) session with Ronald and wrote that it reaffirmed and deepened the benefits of the first. Initially, after a successful first trip, they decided to return because some issues remained. In this second journey, they experienced even stronger emotional release and insights, breaking through mental barriers that had lingered. The person mentions that long-term depression started to lift and they “begin to feel hope again after years of darkness.” Ronald’s steady guidance and empathetic care made them feel secure enough to delve into painful memories. By the end, they felt lighter and more optimistic, calling the experience “truly healing” and thanking Ronald for his unwavering support across sessions.
  • Couples MDMA Therapy: One couple shared their experience of MDMA-assisted therapy as a pair. They had been together for many years and wanted to work on deepening their emotional connection and healing old wounds between them. Under Ronald’s facilitation, the couple had an extremely open and empathic conversation during the MDMA session. They were able to express feelings and forgive past hurts in a way they never could before. The wife noted that Ronald’s presence was key – he kept the atmosphere safe and judgment-free, guiding them with prompts when needed but also giving them space to talk. Both partners emerged feeling closer and “reset” as a couple, saying the therapy strengthened their bond significantly. They call it a “golden opportunity for our relationship” and recommend Ronald to other couples seeking profound connection.
  • Warm, Genuine Approach: Many reviews highlight Ronald’s personality – describing him as warm, kind, and genuinely caring. For instance, one client wrote that from the start Ronald made them feel completely at ease, “not at all ego-driven” in how he guided the session. He approaches the therapy with humility and compassion, which helped the client feel safe to open up. This reviewer felt that Ronald provided the perfect balance between letting them do their inner work and stepping in with support when needed. They credit his gentle approach for the incredible emotional healing they experienced and the sense of being truly understood.
  • Integrated IFS Techniques: Several clients mention that Ronald skillfully combines MDMA therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques or other psychotherapeutic methods. One review titled “MDMA + IFS = GOUD” (gold) described how using IFS (which involves working with one’s inner emotional parts) during the MDMA session led to breakthroughs. The client was able to confront and soothe hurt “parts” of themselves, guided by Ronald’s prompts, resulting in a feeling of wholeness and self-compassion. They called this integrated approach extremely effective, far exceeding their expectations. Another reviewer noted that Ronald is very knowledgeable in psychodrama and other therapeutic exercises, which he incorporates seamlessly into the psychedelic session to help process trauma.
  • Out-of-Country Travelers Welcome: A number of international clients traveled to the Netherlands for sessions with Ronald. For example, one person from the UK shared that they arranged an MDMA integration session with Ronald after reading about Triptherapie online. They felt it was worth the trip, as Ronald’s professionalism and the session’s impact were outstanding. The client felt safe from the beginning, noting that Ronald’s trustworthy and open demeanor relieved any anxiety about doing this therapy abroad. The low-dose MDMA session provided exactly the gentle healing and clarity they sought, helping them integrate past experiences. They returned home feeling more grounded, positive, and “whole” than they had in years.
  • Addressing Depression and OCD: One Dutch reviewer (“Soulseeker”) described struggling with nearly three years of severe depression and OCD symptoms before trying trip therapy with Ronald. After their MDMA session, they experienced a dramatic relief: lifelong obsessive thoughts quieted down and the heavy fog of depression lifted significantly. In their words, “na bijna drie jaar zware depressie… begin ik weer hoop te krijgen!” – after all that time in darkness, they are finally beginning to feel hope again. They attribute this change to the session’s deep emotional release and insights, and to Ronald’s supportive coaching during the process. Ronald even continued to check in and help them implement lifestyle changes post-session, which the client found incredibly helpful. They describe the experience as eye-opening and liberating, and encourage others not to give up hope.
  • Trauma Release and Aftercare: Many users dealing with PTSD or trauma noted that Ronald’s work didn’t end with the session itself. One person with complex trauma said the period after the MDMA sessions was sometimes challenging, but Ronald was always available to talk, helping them integrate the experience. This aftercare made a big difference – they felt “carried” and supported as they processed the emotions that surfaced. Over time, they noticed dramatic improvements: triggers that once set off panic or distress had lost their power. They found themselves more present and enjoying life in ways they never imagined possible. This reviewer calls the therapy with Ronald “a miracle in my healing journey,” crediting his dedication and follow-up for the lasting change.
  • Language and Comfort: Ronald’s clients come from various backgrounds (Dutch, German, English-speaking), and several pointed out that he communicates excellently in their language or in English, making them feel comfortable. A German client who had sessions with Ronald wrote an extensive review stating that “in jeder Krise steckt eine Chance” (“in every crisis there is an opportunity”), detailing how with Ronald’s help they turned a personal crisis into transformative growth. They appreciated that Ronald understood them despite language differences and that he provided written summaries and guidance in English after sessions to help them continue healing on their own.
  • Summing Up: Reviews for Ronald consistently describe the experience as intensely therapeutic and beyond expectations. Clients who felt stuck with traditional therapy found new hope and progress after psychedelic sessions with Ronald. They praise his professional yet caring demeanor, the sense of safety he cultivates, and his ability to blend therapeutic techniques with the psychedelic experience. Whether dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, or relationship issues, clients report significant positive changes. Many say they would wholeheartedly recommend Ronald, often stating that their session with him was one of the most important and beneficial events of their lives.

Reviews for Sessions with Janneke

Trtipsitter Janneke

Janneke is now studying psychology and trip coach at Triptherapie. Her clients’ reviews emphasize rapid but safe healing journeys, particularly noting her empathy, the sense of trust she builds, and the transformative outcomes of sessions addressing trauma and personal growth. Overview of all Janneke’s psychedelic reviews.

  • Rapid Personal Growth: A client wrote “Healing with seven-league boots and a perfect setting. Thank you Janneke!” to describe how quickly they made progress with Janneke’s guidance. They had never experienced such a rapid personal breakthrough (“seven-league boots” implying giant leaps forward). Janneke provided a perfect, caring environment for the psilocybin ceremony, which allowed the client to delve deep into their mind. The result was a level of healing and self-understanding that astonished them. They express heartfelt thanks to Janneke for the experience, implying that it was profoundly transformative and achieved far more in a short time than they thought possible.
  • Multiple MDMA Sessions for PTSD: Another reviewer (Hannah) underwent multiple MDMA therapy sessions with Janneke to treat PTSD and shared their experience. Over the past year, they did a few MDMA sessions spaced out in intervals. Each session built upon the last – fears and traumatic memories that once haunted them began to fade. The client noted that with each journey, they felt layers of trauma dissolving, and their symptoms (like hypervigilance and nightmares) significantly reduced. They appreciated Janneke’s consistent support and how she tailored each session to their needs. By the final session, the client felt “like a new person”, with PTSD symptoms greatly alleviated. They credit Janneke’s empathy and expertise for giving them their life back and wrote that no words could fully express their gratitude for these healing sessions.
  • From Unsafe Childhood to Peace (MDMA for Childhood Trauma): One person shared their story of an unsafe childhood and PTSD, stating that MDMA therapy with Janneke changed their life. They described having tried many therapies before. With Janneke, during an MDMA session, they finally confronted and released the pain from their past in a way they had never been able to do. The experience was intense but ultimately freeing – they could revisit childhood memories with compassion and without panic. After the session, they felt an unfamiliar sense of peace. The client says that their traumatic memories no longer control them, and they feel more confident and alive in the present. They call the session “the most beautiful journey of my life,” saying it accomplished more healing in one go than years of conventional therapy.
  • “Mindblowing and life-changing”: Another review literally titled “Mindblowing and lifechanging” summarizes a client’s impression of their trip therapy with Janneke. This person had been on a personal development path for some time but felt stuck at a certain point. Under Janneke’s care, they participated in a psychedelic session that completely opened their mind and heart. They describe witnessing astonishing inner visions and receiving insights that fundamentally changed how they view themselves and life. Emotions that were blocked were finally released; they felt a rush of self-love and forgiveness that they’d never felt before. The reviewer emphasizes that Janneke’s gentle encouragement and skilled presence allowed them to go “mindblowingly” deep while always feeling secure. They emerged feeling reborn – hence “lifechanging.” They encourage anyone considering it to trust Janneke, as in their case it led to breakthroughs they hadn’t thought possible.
  • Overcoming Fear and Finding Trust: A client named Bieke shared how she initially approached the trip therapy with trepidation, but Janneke’s warm guidance made it a success. Bieke writes that she had long been working on herself but was very nervous to try psychedelics. Janneke spent time preparing her, answering questions, and building trust. During the session, whenever fear or resistance arose, Janneke’s voice and presence helped her surrender to the experience. Bieke ended up having a powerful therapeutic journey and stated “you did amazing, you may be so proud” – words Janneke told her that stuck with her. This encouragement helped Bieke integrate the experience positively. In the end, Bieke thanked Janneke for an unforgettable session and said she “couldn’t have wished for a better guide,” highlighting how important trust and safety were for her and how Janneke provided exactly that.
  • “Mooiste reis van mijn leven” (Most beautiful journey of my life): An enthusiastic reviewer (Eric) described their psilocybin session with Janneke as the most beautiful journey of their life. They had done some self-exploration with truffles before, but Janneke’s session took it to another level. They recall vivid spiritual insights and an overwhelming sense of unity and joy. What stood out was Janneke’s careful attention – from setting up a comfortable space to choosing the right music – which made the experience deeply meaningful. The person felt completely safe to explore inner realms, and as a result they managed to heal very old wounds. Eric writes that he remembers every detail of the trip “as if it were recorded like a video,” and each detail holds valuable meaning for him. He is extremely grateful, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime healing journey.
  • First MDMA Session – Exceeded Expectations: Another client shared the story of their first MDMA session with Janneke, which they undertook at the suggestion of their ex-partner. Despite initial skepticism, they found the experience remarkably rewarding. They mention that Janneke’s professional yet caring demeanor immediately put them at ease. During the session, long-buried emotions surfaced and were gently resolved. The client was surprised at how much lighter and happier they felt afterward, stating that it brought closure to issues they’d carried for years. They thanked Janneke for enabling them to feel this way and said they would happily return for future sessions, as the first try far exceeded what they hoped to achieve.
  • Continued Progress Over Sessions: One individual who had two MDMA sessions with Janneke noted that while they secretly hoped for a quick fix to their problems, what they got was even better – a steady, genuine healing process. After the first session, they felt significant relief from their depression, but some issues persisted. The second session went deeper, reinforcing the positive changes and bringing new revelations. They likened the effect to gradually removing layers of emotional “armor.” By the end of the second session, they felt much more open, positive, and “themselves” than before. The takeaway from their review is that true healing can take more than one session, but with a guide like Janneke it will unfold in just the right way, and the improvements will last.
  • Truffle Ceremony in Schiedam: Another review recounts a truffle ceremony facilitated by Janneke in Schiedam (dated August 26, 2023). The participant, Alexandre, traveled for this session and was impressed by how it was conducted. They described the ceremony as both “profound and enjoyable”. The combination of Janneke’s psychological expertise and the truffles allowed them to face personal issues in a calm, almost playful way. Alexandre noted feeling a strong sense of connection with the other participants and with the surroundings during the journey, crediting Janneke for setting a tone of openness and respect. By the end, they had gained fresh perspectives on their life and felt a burden lift off their shoulders. In plain words, they state the experience changed their outlook for the better and they were very happy they attended.
  • Joint Session with Two Therapists: One special review (“Recensie truffel ceremonie met Janneke en Ronald”) describes a group truffle ceremony where Janneke and Ronald co-led the session. The reviewer, Merel, was curious and a bit anxious beforehand. However, she writes that both facilitators worked wonderfully together to create a nurturing space. The ceremony turned out to be extremely powerful, providing her with insights about herself that she had long been searching for. Merel highlights that Janneke and Ronald’s combined presence felt like a perfect balance of energies – she felt guided, protected, and free all at once. By the end of the ceremony, Merel experienced a profound emotional release (lots of tears of joy and relief) and left with a sense of peace she hadn’t felt in ages. She humorously addresses “curious folks” in her review to say if you’re on the fence, just know that this team can be trusted completely and the experience might be one of the most meaningful of your life.

  • Private MDMA Therapy – Profound Insight: Another client had a private MDMA therapy session with Gijs and came away very impressed. They noted that Gijs provided a comfortable, safe one-on-one setting and dedicated his full attention to their experience. The session allowed the client to confront personal issues that they had been unable to resolve previously. They mention gaining profound insights and emotional release, leading to a sense of peace they hadn’t felt before. The reviewer was somewhat surprised by how effective one session was, stating “I have to say, it exceeded my expectations.” They praise Gijs for his professionalism and heart, recommending him to anyone considering this therapy.
  • Experienced and Authentic Guide: Multiple short reviews highlight Gijs’s personal qualities. Clients describe Gijs as “a very experienced and authentic guide in mindfulness and psychedelics.” They felt he is skilled at bringing one into a state of calm (stillness) and helping them have a deeper experience of happiness and peace.

Because of this, clients felt they could trust him completely and thus got the most out of their sessions. They encourage others to seek Gijs’s help, confident that he will deliver a life-changing experience.
  • Mirror to Oneself: A Dutch client wrote a review titled “Bijzondere ervaring die me een spiegel voorhield” which means “A special experience that held up a mirror to me.” In it, they explain that their psychedelic session with Gijs was very revealing – it confronted them with truths about themselves. Some parts of the journey were tough as it made them face their own behavior and patterns (“the mirror”). However, with Gijs’s support, this confrontation turned into a breakthrough. They were able to see where they needed change in their life and actually feel motivated rather than guilty or afraid. They call the experience eye-opening and ultimately liberating, thanking Gijs for guiding them through what was both a challenging and enlightening process.

Reviews for Sessions with Sascha

Sascha is a psychologist/trip guide at Triptherapie. Her clients’ testimonials often mention her attentive and compassionate nature. Many reviews credit her with facilitating profound emotional breakthroughs, whether through psilocybin, MDMA, or LSD sessions. Clients highlight feeling safe, achieving peace from past traumas, and often state the results were “more than expected” or even life-changing.

  • “So happy with my session with Sascha”: One client expresses sheer happiness with their psilocybin mushroom session guided by Sascha. It was their second psychedelic therapy session ever, and they note it was the best one yet. With Sascha’s support, they were able to dive deep into past issues and came out feeling “lighter, happier, and more at peace” than they’ve felt in a long time. They mention that Sascha’s presence was comforting and attentive throughout – for instance, she noticed subtle changes in their mood and adjusted the music and setting accordingly, which made a big difference. By the end, the client felt a new sense of hope and joy, stating plainly that they are “so happy” with the outcome and grateful for Sascha’s guidance.
  • “Better late than never” – Overcoming Hesitation: Another reviewer (TulpenFighter) titled their feedback “Beter laat dan nooit” (“Better late than never”), explaining that they had delayed doing a psychedelic therapy for a long time out of fear. Finally, they did a private truffle therapy session with Sascha, and it turned out to be deeply healing. They regret not doing it earlier, as the experience helped them confront and resolve personal issues they’d struggled with for years. The main message is that it’s never too late to heal: the reviewer says the preparation, guidance, and aftercare were all excellent (they highlight the importance of good preparation and guidance, which Sascha provided). During the session they felt safe enough to surrender, resulting in emotional breakthroughs. They left with the feeling that a huge weight was lifted off their shoulders. The reviewer encourages others not to wait as long as they did, because with someone like Sascha, you are in good hands to finally address what’s been holding you back.
  • Zen and Dharma – A Spiritual Experience: A client named Andreas wrote “Review – Sascha – Zen – Dharma,” indicating a very spiritual or philosophical experience. In his summary, he gives a brief account of what the trip meant to him. Andreas describes the session as bringing him to a state of deep zen-like meditation and insight. He mentions revisiting childhood scenes and understanding them with a new, compassionate perspective (“dharma” hinting at life truths). Sascha’s steady and kind presence made him feel as if a wise friend was by his side on this inner journey. The end result was that Andreas achieved a level of inner peace and understanding he had been seeking – a kind of enlightenment regarding his personal issues. He thanks Sascha for helping him reach this “brief summary of what the trip meant to me: clarity and peace.” In short, the reviewer found the session spiritually fulfilling and deeply clarifying.
  • MDMA Session – Finally Real Progress: A client (Peregrinus) who had done a lot of regular talk therapy wrote about their MDMA trip with Sascha. They say, “I’ve done a lot of (talk) therapy, but during this MDMA session with Sascha I finally experienced real, tangible progress.” They describe how years of discussing their problems intellectually never quite resolved them, but under MDMA, with Sascha guiding, they were able to feel and release the emotions tied to those problems. This was a new and liberating experience – they could physically sense the relief as decades of tension left their body. The reviewer emphasizes Sascha’s role: she was attentive and compassionate, knowing when to give space and when to provide comforting words or a hand to hold. By the end, the client felt a sense of closure on issues that had haunted them, stating it was something they “never achieved in standard therapy, but did in one afternoon with Sascha.”
  • Healing Childhood Trauma – “Journey to heal childhood trauma”: Another review (“Triptherapie with Sascha – journey to heal childhood trauma”) comes from a client named JennieC, who underwent multiple sessions with Sascha. Jennie shares that Sascha has guided her twice so far on her healing journey addressing severe childhood trauma. She describes Sascha as a compassionate psychologist and guide, saying that with each session she felt safe enough to revisit very painful childhood memories. During these journeys, Jennie was able to reprocess those memories – grieving, forgiving, and letting go of burdens she had carried since she was a child. She says the trips were not easy, but Sascha’s support was unwavering, which gave her the courage to face the pain. The outcome: Jennie experienced significant healing; her PTSD symptoms and lifelong anxiety have diminished greatly. She calls the therapy with Sascha “a journey of healing”, and is planning to continue, feeling confident that she is finally on the path to wholeness.
  • Lifehack: Hippieflip and MDMA – Surpassing Expectations: A reviewer (cynthia) titled their review “Lifehack Psilocibine (Hippieflip) en MDMA,” implying they tried a combination or sequence of a psilocybin “hippie flip” (mixing psilocybin and MDMA) under Sascha’s care. They admitted being curious if this approach could speed up their healing – a sort of lifehack. The session indeed turned out to be extremely powerful. On September 18, they had their first such combined session, and it brought more than they ever expected. The client reports that it was at times emotionally intense but incredibly insightful. They accessed traumatic memories, processed them with surprising ease, and also experienced moments of pure joy and love that helped counterbalance the hard parts. They noted that Sascha monitored them closely throughout, ensuring everything stayed safe. Post-session, the reviewer felt like they had “gained so much more than expected” – issues that would have taken years to work through in regular therapy felt significantly resolved. They half-jokingly call it a lifehack because of how effective it was, but also stress that it was Sascha’s expertise and careful handling of the process that made it successful.
  • Session on 16/10/24 – Attentive and Compassionate: A client (M1xime) simply noted the date of their session (October 16, 2024) as a title, then praised Sascha as “very attentive and compassionate.” This person shares that Sascha’s personal qualities made a huge difference: she paid close attention to their emotional state and comfort, which made them feel truly cared for. Because of this, they could fully immerse in the experience without worry. The review suggests that the session was quite positive – although they don’t detail the content of the trip, the key point is that Sascha’s empathy and attention created an environment where real healing could happen. The client ends by saying they felt understood and safe, and that the session brought them much further than they expected in resolving their issues.
  • “Brought me so much more than I thought”: Another reviewer (Marky) titled their feedback “Heeft me zo veel meer gebracht dan gedacht” (“It brought me so much more than I thought”). They admit going into the therapy a bit skeptical, unsure if it would help. However, after the experience, they were astonished by how much it actually gave them. They describe it as “an insanely good therapy” – it apparently unlocked emotions and insights that they had long suppressed. They mention that it helped them far beyond the specific problem they originally wanted to address; it improved their overall outlook on life. This indicates a deep personal transformation. Marky specifically thanks Sascha for her guidance, implying that her style of therapy exceeded all their expectations and delivered benefits on multiple levels (emotional, mental, perhaps even physical wellness).
  • “LSD is amazing” – Breakthrough with LSD Therapy: A reviewer named Eric shared: “I just experienced an LSD therapy session with Sascha… and LSD is amazing.” In this review, Eric details how an LSD session under Sascha’s supervision allowed him to confront aspects of himself he had been avoiding. He was initially anxious, but Sascha’s confidence and the careful setup calmed him. During the LSD journey, Eric saw vivid, meaningful visions and felt a profound sense of connection. He faced some personal truths that were difficult, but ultimately cathartic. Eric came out of the session calling the experience “amazing,” because it gave him a level of self-awareness and peace he didn’t think possible. He attributes a large part of this success to Sascha’s steady guidance and reassurance throughout the trip. He encourages others that, with a guide like Sascha, exploring with LSD can be a safe and deeply beneficial process.
  • “More than I expected”: Another Dutch review titled “Meer dan ik had verwacht” emphasizes that the session with Sascha delivered more healing than anticipated. The client explains, “Wat een geweldige ervaring was dit!” (“What an amazing experience this was!”). They mention that in their life they had rarely felt truly understood, but in the session, they felt completely seen and heard by Sascha and by what the psychedelic experience revealed. It not only addressed the issue they came in for, but also unexpectedly helped with other facets of their life (for example, they note improvements in their stress levels and even physical tension after the session). They conclude that the journey was far richer and more healing than they imagined, and they are extremely grateful to Sascha for exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve such a positive outcome.

Reviews for Sessions with Reineke

Reineke is a therapist (psychologist) at Triptherapie, and her clients’ reviews focus on feelings of hope and relief emerging after long struggles with depression, anxiety, and trauma. People emphasize her incredibly good guidance – “zorgvuldig en warm” (careful and warm) – and credit her with helping them achieve deep calm and healing. Joint sessions with colleagues also get praise, indicating she works excellently in a team. Overall, clients thank Reineke in the written reviews her for restoring hope and leading them to transformative experiences.

  • Hope After Years of Depression: A client (K.M.) wrote, “Na jarenlange depressie begin ik weer hoop te krijgen!” which means “After years of depression, I’m beginning to have hope again!” This review describes how, after struggling with stubborn depression and related issues for a very long time, a truffle ceremony with Reineke finally brought a turning point. The client shares that the session was very emotional – they confronted deep sadness and past trauma – but under Reineke’s guidance, they were able to release a lot of pent-up pain. In the days and weeks following, they noticed the darkness lifting. They actually felt hopeful about life for the first time in ages. The reviewer thanks Reineke sincerely, saying that her empathy and the safe space she created allowed them to do this difficult work. In summary, the session gave them a glimmer of hope and positivity that they thought was lost forever.
  • Private MDMA Session – Gentle and Powerful: Another client (Kasia K) recounted their private MDMA session with Reineke, noting it was their third MDMA therapy overall (the first two with other therapists were good, but this one stood out). They describe Reineke as super supportive and caring, which made this session the most impactful one yet. The experience was both gentle and powerful: gentle in that Reineke’s warm presence made them feel safe to open up, and powerful in the depth of healing that occurred. They mention that past traumas surfaced but didn’t overwhelm them; with Reineke’s help, they could process these memories with compassion. By the end, the client felt a sense of closure and self-acceptance that they hadn’t achieved before. They express immense gratitude, saying this session tied together loose ends from prior sessions and left them feeling “truly healed and whole.”
  • MDMA Trip – Wonderful Experience: A client named Karsten shared that their MDMA trip with Reineke was “a wonderful experience” for which they are extremely grateful. They explain that they were dealing with anxiety and trauma, and during the session they were able to face those issues head-on. Karsten highlights Reineke’s soothing demeanor and expertise – whenever they felt uneasy, a few reassuring words from Reineke kept them calm and focused on healing. The result was a deeply positive experience: they processed painful emotions, cried and laughed, and came out feeling lighter and free of a burden. Karsten was so moved that at the end of the session they could only say “Thank you!” with tears of relief. Their review is short but full of appreciation, clearly indicating that the session was one of the most wonderful and freeing moments of their life.
  • Truffle Ceremony – Gratitude for Exceptional Guidance: A reviewer (BV3) describes a truffle ceremony with Reineke and specifically gives “extra thanks to Reineke!” in their title. They state, “I want to wholeheartedly thank you for your incredibly good guidance.” This person had an intense emotional journey with truffles, during which they likely confronted personal issues or traumas. They credit Reineke’s calm and knowledgeable guidance for the success of the ceremony. At a point where the emotions were overwhelming, Reineke’s presence and possibly her words helped the client navigate through without panic. By the end of the ceremony, the client felt a significant positive shift – they mention feeling “reborn” and full of positivity afterward. The reviewer appears deeply grateful, emphasizing that Reineke’s exceptional support was key to making the experience safe, meaningful, and healing.
  • Joint Session with Marcel – Fantastic and Therapeutic: One review (“MDMA experience with Reineke and Marcel”) comes from a group session where both Reineke and Marcel were facilitating (likely an MDMA group or couples session). The client (BV, as per context) said it was a fantastic and very therapeutic experience. Prior to the session, this person had burnout symptoms and was very stressed. Thanks to the MDMA experience co-led by Reineke (and Marcel), their nervous system finally came to rest. They describe feeling truly present “in the here and now” during the session – an intense mindfulness and peace that they had never achieved before. They could enjoy a “very intense NOW experience,” which they call an incredible gift. The reviewer also felt cared for, nurtured, and protected by Reineke and Marcel throughout – which itself was healing, as they hadn’t allowed themselves to be cared for in a long time. The session apparently gave them spiritual insight that “there is something greater that carries us and gives exactly what we need.” In practical terms, it grounded them into their body (“for the first time I could really sink into my body”) and released the burnout tension. The client gives hearty thanks to both Reineke and Marcel, and also thanks Janneke for the good information before and after. In essence, this review underscores that Reineke (working in a team) provided an experience that was deeply therapeutic, rejuvenating, and even spiritual, leaving the client in a state of calm and gratitude.
  • Additional Endorsements: Short compiled remarks about Reineke from various clients highlight that she is “warm, skilled, and truly dedicated”. Clients consistently felt safe with her and note that she has a gentle strength – able to guide someone through very dark memories or tough emotions with compassion and steadiness. Many who worked with Reineke mention they would highly recommend her, especially for anyone nervous about the process, because she has a knack for making people feel comfortable and understood.


Overall, across all these categories of reviews (spanning different Triptherapie coaches and various psychedelic-assisted therapies), clients consistently report: a safe, professional environment; experiences that are profoundly healing, often beyond their expectations; and significant improvements in mental health, emotional well-being, and personal growth. Many describe the therapies as life-changing and express heartfelt gratitude to the therapists who guided them. Each therapist has their unique style, but all are praised for empathy, expertise, and the ability to make clients feel supported through intense therapeutic journeys. These client testimonials collectively paint a picture of Triptherapie’s services as highly effective and delivered with genuine care, helping people overcome issues that once felt insurmountable.

truffelsessie
Wat kun je verwachten van een truffelsessie? Programma & kosten uitgelegd

Psychedelische therapie met magische truffels wint snel aan populariteit als natuurlijke, diepgaande manier om mentale blokkades te doorbreken en persoonlijke groei te stimuleren. Maar wat gebeurt er nu precies tijdens zo’n sessie? En wat zijn de kosten? In dit artikel duiken we in het programma van een truffelsessie bij Triptherapie en geven we inzicht in het totaaltraject.

De vier fases van een truffelsessie

Een truffelsessie bestaat uit vier zorgvuldig opgebouwde fases: de intake, voorbereiding, de sessiedag zelf en de integratie. Deze holistische benadering zorgt voor een veilige, effectieve ervaring met blijvend resultaat.

1. Intake: de basis leggen

Voor je überhaupt een sessie kunt plannen, vul je een intakeformulier in. Op basis van je gezondheid, mentale gesteldheid en doelen wordt bekeken of je in aanmerking komt voor een sessie. Je krijgt vervolgens persoonlijk advies over dosering, sessievorm (individueel of groep) en de best passende begeleider.

2. Voorbereiding: mentaal en fysiek afstemmen

In de dagen of weken voorafgaand aan de sessie ontvang je voedings- en supplemententips, mentale voorbereidingsoefeningen en kijk- of leestips. Alles is gericht op het optimaliseren van je neurochemie en mindset, zodat je open en veerkrachtig aan de sessie begint.

3. De sessiedag: het innerlijke avontuur

De truffelsessie zelf bestaat uit meerdere fases:

  • Kennismaking & intentiegesprek: Je deelt je intenties en krijgt uitleg over het verloop van de trip.
  • Inname van truffels: Meestal verwerkt in thee voor een zachte start.
  • Coming up: Lichte effecten worden voelbaar. De begeleider is nabij en biedt rust of begeleiding waar nodig.
  • Piekfase: Je sluit je ogen, luistert naar muziek en gaat op een innerlijke reis. Dit is het moment voor diepe inzichten, emotionele heling of spirituele ervaringen.
  • Coming down: De effecten nemen langzaam af, er ontstaat ruimte voor reflectie.
  • Eerste nabespreking: Je deelt – als je wilt – je eerste indrukken, waarna je rustig wordt geholpen terug te keren in het hier en nu.
Truffel sessie schema

4. Integratie: van ervaring naar transformatie

Een week na de sessie volgt een telefonisch integratiegesprek. Ook kun je deelnemen aan speciale integratiedagen. Het doel is om je inzichten te vertalen naar blijvende veranderingen in je dagelijks leven.

Wat kost een truffelsessie?

De kosten hangen af van het type sessie en de locatie. Een individuele truffelsessie op locatie ligt meestal tussen de €600 en €900, afhankelijk van reiskosten van de begeleider. Wil je het precies weten? Dan kun je gebruikmaken van deze handige prijsberekeningstool.

Voor wie liever in een groep reist, zijn er de zorgvuldig begeleide truffelceremonies op een vaste locatie in Schiedam. Deze kleinschalige retraites kosten €550 per persoon en zijn inclusief overnachting, begeleiding en voorbereiding.

Waarom deze structuur werkt

Het uitgebreide traject is ontworpen met veiligheid, effectiviteit en persoonlijke begeleiding als prioriteit. Een eerdere deelnemer beschreef hoe hij tijdens de piek van zijn sessie zichzelf volledig opnieuw leerde kennen: “Het was intens, maar ik voelde me continu veilig en gezien.” Zulke ervaringen illustreren waarom een goede voorbereiding en begeleiding wordt aanbevolen.

Zelf een truffelsessie doen?

Ben je nieuwsgierig geworden? Je kunt vandaag nog beginnen met de intake en ontdekken of een truffelsessie bij je past. Triptherapie werkt landelijk, met sessies aan huis of op bijzondere locaties zoals de Psychedelic Loft. Zo kun je deze unieke reis altijd maken op een plek waar jij je op je gemak voelt.

Psilocybin mushrooms in Amsterdam

Are magic mushrooms legal in Amsterdam?

Magic mushrooms (psilocybin mushrooms) were previously legal in the Netherlands, including Amsterdam. However, since December 1, 2008, they have been classified as a controlled substance and are illegal to possess, produce, or sell in the country. This change in legislation was prompted by several incidents involving tourists of who thought the have consumed magic mushrooms and experienced adverse effects, leading to accidents and even fatalities. Later it became clear that those tourists didn’t used mushrooms or when they did that it was a combination of more drugs.

Tripsitter Netherlands

Magic truffles als legal alternative

Magic truffles and psilocybin mushrooms (paddo’s) are both parts of the psychoactive fungi that contain the same active compounds, primarily psilocybin and psilocin. The key similarities between them include:

  • Active Compounds: Both magic truffles and psilocybin mushrooms contain psilocybin, which is converted in the body to psilocine. Psilocine interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered states of consciousness and hallucinogenic effects.
  • Effects: The effects of both substances are similar, including visual and auditory hallucinations, emotional breakthroughs, and a sense of connection with nature and oneself. Users often report profound spiritual insights and a deepened understanding of their emotions.
  • Therapeutic Potential: Both magic truffles and psilocybin mushrooms have been studied for their therapeutic benefits, including treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Research supports their use in therapeutic settings to facilitate emotional healing and personal growth.
  • Legality in the Netherlands: In the Netherlands, psilocybin mushrooms are classified as illegal, while magic truffles are legal. This legal distinction allows for the use of magic truffles in therapeutic settings without the legal restrictions associated with psilocybin mushrooms.

In summary, while they differ in physical form—magic truffles being the sclerotia (underground part) of the mushroom and psilocybin mushrooms having a stem and cap—they share the same psychoactive properties and therapeutic potential.

A legal guided psilocybin experience in Amsterdam

If you want a legal guided psilocybin eperience in Amsterdam, we can help you out. When you do a session with us, you don’t have to buy the psyhedelics yourself. We’ve got legal versions of psilocybin, mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, ayahuasca and mescaline available. Not all of these substances are safe to use for everybody and that’s why we recommend you to fill in a form to be screened for safe usage.

Where in the Netherlands can you do a psychedelic session?

Psychedelic sessions can be conducted at your own location, such as your home, a friend’s house, a vacation rental, or even a hotel room, as long as the address is within the Netherlands. This flexibility allows for both individual and group ceremonies to be organized at a location that suits you best. In Amsterdam we do these sessions quite often with people from abroad. They usually fly in via Schiphol airport. When you’re looking for an accomadation near the airport you can check out these towns and cities: Amsterdam, Haarlem, Hoofddorp, Amstelveen, Aalsmeer, Badhoevedorp, Uithoorn, Nieuw-Vennep, Zandvoort, IJmuiden, Hillegom, Lisse, Heemstede, Vijfhuizen and Hoofdorp

Ervaring telt

Er is een kleine groep tripsitters in Nederland die dit werk fulltime doet en een groep hobbyisten die soms eens een psychedelische trip begeleiden. Een ervaren tripsitter biedt meer dan een hobbyist die hetzelfde doet, omdat ervaring en kennis van cruciaal belang zijn bij het veilig en effectief begeleiden van een psychedelische trip. Hier zijn een paar redenen waarom een ervaren tripsitter meer te bieden heeft:

1. Veiligheid: Een ervaren tripsitter heeft kennis van de fysieke en mentale effecten van psychedelische drugs en kan de persoon die tript helpen om veilig te blijven. Ze weten hoe ze moeten omgaan met eventuele ongemakkelijke of angstige ervaringen die kunnen optreden tijdens de trip en kunnen de persoon geruststellen en kalmeren.

2. Ondersteuning: Een ervaren tripsitter kan emotionele en psychologische ondersteuning bieden tijdens de trip. Ze kunnen luisteren naar de persoon, hun angsten en zorgen begrijpen en hen helpen omgaan met eventuele moeilijke emoties die naar boven komen. Ze kunnen ook helpen bij het stellen van intenties voor de trip en het begeleiden van reflectie en integratie na de trip.

3. Kennis en vaardigheden: Een ervaren tripsitter heeft vaak training en opleiding gevolgd op het gebied van psychedelische therapie en tripsitting. Ze hebben kennis van verschillende therapeutische technieken en kunnen deze toepassen tijdens de trip om de persoon te helpen bij het verkennen van hun innerlijke wereld en het bereiken van persoonlijke groei en inzicht.

4. Vertrouwen en comfort: Een ervaren tripsitter kan een veilige en vertrouwde omgeving creëren waarin de persoon zich op zijn gemak voelt om zichzelf volledig open te stellen voor de ervaring. Ze kunnen een sfeer van vertrouwen en acceptatie creëren, wat essentieel is voor een positieve en vruchtbare trip.

Tripsitter met de meeste ervaring

De Tripsitter met de meeste ervaring is Marcel van der Putten. Hij heeft al meer dan 1950 psychedelische sessies begeleidt. De meeste van deze sessies waren truffelsessies en MDMA sessies. Marcel is de oprichter van Triptherapie en is 13 jaar geleden begonnen met het aanbieden van psychedelische sessies en werkt sinds 6 jaar geleden fulltime voor Triptherapie. Hij komt als Tripsitter ook aan huis in de regio Amsterdam, Haarlem en Leiden.

Triptherapie

Verschillende psychedelica tijdens therapie

In Nederland is het mogelijk om met legale varianten van psychedelische stoffen sessies te doen. Indien je deze psychedelische sessies met een therapeut doet, wordt dit psychedelische therapie genoemd. Zo kunnen bijvoorbeeld truffels worden gebruikt als vervanger voor psilocybine en zijn er analogen van MDMA en LSD die net zo werken als deze stoffen. Lees meer over deze verschillende psychedelica met therapeutisch potentieel via de knop.

Groepstherapie en truffelceremonies

Naast individuele therapie worden er ook per maand twee of meer groepssessies aangeboden. Dit is meestal minstens één truffelceremonie en één MDMA ceremonie. De verhouding van één begeleider per drie deelnemers en een maximale groepsgrootte van zes personen, zorgt voor beste toezicht, binding en resultaten. Voor de beschikbaarheid, prijs en meer informatie kan je terecht op de website van Triptherapie Nederland.

MDMA sessie met analoog
MDMA analoog

MDMA therapie met analoog

MDMA is een stof die veel neurotransmitters vrij laat komen en dat zorgt voor de en stimulerende effecten die het gevoel van verbondenheid en empathie vergroten. De exacte stof MDMA is in Nederland illegaal om in te zetten als therapeutisch hulpmiddel. Zo wordt er sinds vorig jaar al een MDMA analoog w ingezet tijdens wat MDMA sessies.

MDMA-analogen hebben ongeveer dezelfde effecten als MDMA, maar zijn legaal verkrijgbaar omdat ze niet expliciet worden genoemd als illegale substantie in de Opiumwet (Lijst 1 bevat MDMA). Diverse analogen van MDMA werken op dezelfde manier door neurotransmitters zoals de belangrijkere serotonine en dopamine vrij te laten komen. Dit zorgt voor vergelijkbare effecten voor degene die het gebruikt. Sommige analogen bootsten zo goed MDMA na dat mensen geen verschil merken met het origineel. Anderen zoals 3-MMC werken toch net een beetje anders. Van 4-FA is de werking vergelijkbaar met XTC en Speed. Gebruikers geven ook wel aan dat het een variant is tussen deze middelen. Het heeft een stimulerende werking en begint ongeveer na een half uur tot een uur te werken.

Veel verschillende MDMA analogen

Het kiezen tussen verschillende analogen van MDMA kan moeilijk zijn omdat elk van hen verschillende eigenschappen heeft, sommige gevaarlijker dan anderen. Hoewel de meeste analogen effecten hebben die vergelijkbaar zijn met MDMA, kunnen bepaalde eigenschappen zoals toxiciteit, bijwerkingen en effectiviteit voor medicinale doeleinden sterk verschillen. Sommige analogen zijn minder sterk dan MDMA en vereisen hogere doseringen, terwijl andere meer potent zijn. Desalniettemin hebben sommige analogen mogelijk gunstige eigenschappen die kunnen worden gebruikt bij therapieën, zoals hun anxiolytische effecten en daarmee hun vermogen om angst te verminderen. Het is echter niet veilig is om willekeurig verschillende analogen uit te proberen en dat maakt het lastig de juist te vinden.

Wil je niet wachten op de legalisering van MDMA?

MDMA therapy

MDMA Therapy in the Netherlands

MDMA therapy is legally and available in the Netherlands even though MDMA on itself isn’t legal. MDMA, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine, is a synthetic drug that has been gaining attention in recent years as a potential therapy for a range of mental health conditions. MDMA therapy is a form of psychotherapy that utilizes small doses of MDMA to help individuals with conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

One of the key benefits of MDMA therapy is its ability to reduce symptoms of PTSD. PTSD is a condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance behaviors. A number of studies have shown that MDMA therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD, particularly in individuals who have not responded to other forms of treatment. For example, a study conducted by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) found that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy produced a significant reduction in symptoms of PTSD in veterans, first responders, and sexual assault survivors.

Another benefit of MDMA therapy is its ability to reduce symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety is a common condition that can manifest in a variety of ways, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. A number of studies have shown that MDMA therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, particularly in individuals with conditions such as social anxiety disorder and OCD. For example, a study conducted by Imperial College London found that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy produced a significant reduction in symptoms of social anxiety disorder in individuals.

MDMA therapy also has the ability to reduce symptoms of depression. Depression is a common and debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. A number of studies have shown that MDMA therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, particularly in individuals who have not responded to other forms of treatment. For example, a study conducted by the Imperial College London found that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy produced a significant reduction in symptoms of treatment-resistant depression in individuals.

One of the key mechanisms of action of MDMA is its ability to increase the release of serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, which are neurotransmitters that play a role in regulating mood, emotions, and social behavior. This increase in the release of these neurotransmitters may be responsible for the positive effects of MDMA therapy on symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Another benefit of MDMA therapy is that it can help to increase feelings of trust and empathy between the patient and therapist. This can be particularly beneficial in cases where the patient has experienced trauma, as it can make it easier for the patient to open up and talk about their experiences. Additionally, MDMA can also help to reduce fear and anxiety which can prevent individuals from accessing therapy or seeking help.
