Do you know how to support people having psychedelic experiences, whether positive or challenging? This is a crash course on psychedelic harm reduction, how to prepare for the most meaningful psychedelic experience possible, and how to troubleshoot when things don't go as planned. Whether you'll be around psychedelics in recreational, ceremonial, or clinical settings, this introduction to tripping and trip-sitting is for you.
What will you learn in this course?
You will learn to distinguish psychedelic harm reduction approaches from medically-oriented, law enforcement-focused, and well-intentioned but uninformed approaches to dealing with disruptive individuals on psychedelics. You will understand how bad trips are different from challenging experiences, how to prevent them, and how to deal with them when they arise. You will also learn how to prepare for the most meaningful, safe, and healing psychedelic experience possible, accounting for drug-drug interactions and the entourage effect. Furthermore, you will understand how to be a helpful trip sitter and ethically support others having psychedelic experiences while preventing trip sitter burnout and compassion fatigue.
Finally, you will learn about strategies for integrating psychedelic experiences and appreciate the importance of integration in making the most of an entheogenic journey.
