Psilocybin session and depression (bron: Triptherapie)
The seasons can influence our mood and associated hormones and neurotransmitters cause, for example, the winter blues. For example, in winter many people experience a dip in their mood, which is also known as winter depression or seasonal depression. This can be caused by a lack of sunlight, which reduces the body’s own “happiness hormone” serotonin. In spring and summer, many people experience an improvement in their mood. This can be attributed to an increase in sunlight, which stimulates the production of vitamin D and the increase in serotonin due to exposure to daylight. The change of seasons can also affect the production of other hormones and neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine and cortisol, which influence our mood and physical well-being.
In winter when the days are shorter and there is less sunlight, our body can produce less vitamin D. This is because our skin naturally produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for a healthy immune system because it helps regulate our immune response. A vitamin D deficiency can therefore contribute to a weakened immune system and make us more susceptible to viruses such as colds, corona and flu. It is believed that normal vitamin D levels in the body can contribute to a more effective immune response to viruses. It is therefore important to get enough vitamin D, especially in the winter months when the sun shines less brightly. Supplementing vitamin D through diet or supplementation can help strengthen immunity and reduce susceptibility to viruses.
There is increasing evidence that shows that there is a link between a well-functioning immune system, low inflammation levels and a lower risk of depression. Low-grade inflammation can occur when the immune system becomes overactive and attacks the cells and tissues in the body that it should normally protect. These inflammatory reactions are accompanied by an increased production of cytokines, substances that cause inflammatory reactions. Research shows that this inflammation can lead to changes in the brain that can contribute to the development of depression.
A well-functioning immune system and low inflammation levels can therefore protect against the development of depression. It is important, especially in winter, to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain the immune system. In addition to taking vitamin D, there are other things that can help such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, enough sleep, supplements and stress reduction.
In winter it is important to support the immune system with the right nutrition. Edible mushrooms, such as Shiitake, are very effective because they support the immune system and at the same time spare the lungs, which is useful in cases of COVID-19, for example. Quercetin is a plant substance that also supports the immune system and is found in capers, onions, apples and leafy vegetables. Turmeric is also a powerful remedy. It has anti-inflammatory effects and is often added to dishes for extra flavor and health benefits. In addition, zinc and selenium are important minerals for the immune system. Zinc stimulates the production of white blood cells and is found in meat, shellfish, seeds and nuts. Selenium also strengthens the immune system and is found in fish, whole grains and Brazil nuts, among others. All in all, it is important to eat a healthy and varied diet, with sufficient vitamins and minerals to keep our immune system strong and healthy.
For more tips, we recommend reading our previous article on the anti-depression diet and our list of foods with a high ORAC value (anti-inflammatory function of food).
Eating edible mushrooms in winter brings many benefits. It is good to vary with various edible mushrooms as each species contains its own unique substances and supports the immune system in a different way. Below we have highlighted a number of special medicinal mushrooms (pun intended).
| Kind | Operation |
|---|---|
| Reishi | Anti-inflammatory so better immune system, less depression |
| Lion’s Mane | More Nerve Grow Factor against Alzheimer’s and MS (neurodegeneration) |
| Turkey tail | Better immune system, especially against cancer |
| Shiitake | Activates immune system against viruses via AHCC |
| Chaga | Better immune system |
| He Shou Wu | Protection against DNA aging via Superoxide Dismutase |
| Psilocybe | Hallucinations and BDNF for insights and connections in the brain |
In addition to the fact that nutrition is the basis for a good immune system, the supplements below can support the immune system during the winter. Below we list a number that work well during the winter and via the buttons below you can find more information about the relevant supplements and how they work.
Psilocybin can work against depression in several ways. Psilocybin has a physical (biochemical) effect on the brain and it provides a subjective experience. Both can contribute to reducing the winter blues or winter depression.
Recent studies have shown that psilocybin has an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Assuming that depression can be an inflammatory response of the body, the anti-inflammatory effect of psilocybin can help to reduce inflammation levels and thus be effective in treating winter depression.
In addition to the anti-inflammatory effects of psilocybin, psilocybin can promote the growth of new nerve cells in the brain and thus also reduce depressive symptoms. This has to do with the activity of BDNF, a substance released when using psilocybin. BDNF can cause the dendritic processes to grow.
Furthermore, a trip on psilocybin can dispel loneliness by allowing people to experience the unity of the universe. The absence of loneliness has a positive effect on the immune system and thus indirectly on depression. A spiritual journey or insights can also help in dealing with stressors that would otherwise lead to depression.
As soon as 2024 starts we will have already helped approximately 2000 people with psilocybin sessions. Before the hype surrounding psychedelics started, we wanted to bridge the gap between therapy with psychedelics and a healthy lifestyle. We also want to combine psychedelic therapy with physical health in 2024 and we are happy to help you with this. In order to use our services, we ask you to complete the intake so that we can see whether psilocybin or other psychedelics can be used. If we find contraindications in the intake, we will let you know. If there are no objections, we can schedule a session and provide advice in preparation for your session.
Before anyone goes for a psychedelic session it is highly recommended to understand what this means. To learn more about psilocybin, how psilocybin therapy works, what our availability is for private or group sessions, please use the buttons below.

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.
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.
Als je niet wilt wachten op de legalisering van MDMA, maar toch een sessie wilt doen die lijkt op MDMA? Neem dan eens een kijkje op deze pagina:
Psychedelic sessions are currently not legalized in Belgium and we expect Belgium to remain conservative for at least a few more years. Recently there has been a relatively large amount of media attention in Belgium for the healing effects of psilocybin. Especially after Selah Sue’s story, many Belgians came from Belgium to the Netherlands for psychedelic sessions.
In the Netherlands we have a lot of experience with psychedelics, especially psilocybince, because it was always been legal to use it one way or another. Triptherapie.nl, a Netherlands based company, has guided more than 1800 people with their psychedelic therapy. You can use one of their tripsitters/tripcoaches/therapist to do a session with. They come to your place as long it’s just in the Netherlands. It’s possible to book a rental house in the Netherlands and you can do the session with one of the guides that they offer. You can find a overview of employees here:
Most Belgian customers come to the Netherlands in small groups of 2-4 people and use the venue Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam. It’s nearby Rotterdam and not so far away from Antwerp and Brussels. After the session, it’s included to spend the night before returning home.

It is also possible to participate in an open truffle ceremony. During an open truffle ceremony, the group is not closed and there are a maximum of 5 other participants present. It is good to consider what you like. Some customers find connecting with strangers an advantage and others prefer more privacy and personal attention.

The latest research on MDMA therapy for PTSD has been promising. The largest clinical trial to date found that the MDMA treatment was safe and effective in a diverse group of participants. The study involved 104 people diagnosed with moderate to severe PTSD. After three therapy sessions spaced a month apart, 71.2% of the participants who received MDMA no longer met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, compared with 47.6% of the placebo group. This makes MDMA therapy on average 50% more effective as regular psychotherapy.

Psychedelic sessions overview (bron: Triptherapie)
LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide), psilocybin, and MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) are psychedelics that can be used for therapeutic purposes. Although they have unique pharmacological properties, they all produce profound changes in consciousness and can enhance emotional processing.
LSD and psilocybin are both classified as classical psychedelics and work by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain. They are known to produce mystical-type experiences and can enhance introspection, creativity, and empathy. Research has found that LSD and psilocybin can be used to treat anxiety, depression, addiction, and end-of-life distress. LSD was first used in psychotherapeutic settings in the 1950s and 1960s, while psilocybin received more attention in the 2000s with the revival of psychedelic research. One key difference between LSD and psilocybin is the length of their effects – LSD lasts for 8-12 hours, while psilocybin effects typically last for around 6 hours.
MDMA, on the other hand, is classified as an empathogen and works primarily by increasing the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It is well-known for its ability to enhance social connection, reduce fear, and increase empathy. MDMA-assisted psychotherapy has shown promise in treating PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and was designated by the FDA as a “breakthrough therapy” in 2017. Unlike LSD and psilocybin, the effects of MDMA are not as long-lasting, with effects lasting for around 3-5 hours.
All three of these substances have been shown to be effective in treating mental illnesses, especially when used in conjunction with therapy. The experience produced when taking these substances can vary, but the common theme is a heightened emotional state. This enhanced emotional state can be both positive and negative, depending on the individual’s current situation, the setting, and the therapist’s skill. During therapy sessions, clinicians use these substances to facilitate deep introspection and emotional processing, allowing individuals to access repressed feelings and memories and to gain new insight into their lives.
Research on the efficacy of these substances is ongoing, with many promising results. A study conducted at Johns Hopkins University found that psilocybin-assisted therapy could help cancer patients reduce depression and anxiety. A separate study conducted at Imperial College London found that psilocybin therapy could help individuals with long-standing depression. A study conducted in Canada found that LSD-assisted therapy could reduce anxiety and enhance mood in patients with anxiety disorders. Similarly, research has found that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy can help veterans with combat-related PTSD.
