Responding to Difficult Psychedelic Experiences (from maps.org)
    #12562366 - 05/14/10 02:51 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

Millions of people will use psychedelics this year, many of them for their first time. Many psychedelics users are unprepared to tend to a psychedelics induced–crisis if one were to arise. As part of our efforts to minimize harm reated to psychedelic use, on this page we provide advice about to how to help someone having a difficult psychedelic experience.

We recognize that it is not uncommon for psychedelic users to have difficult psychedelic experiences. Society has termed these experiences “bad trips.” We believe that a difficult trip is not necessarily a bad trip. With proper preparation and understanding someone can easily help a person who is having a difficult experience to receive the most benefit from it.

MAPS has provided psychedelic emergency services at events where psychedelic use is likely to take place. Our psychedelic emergency counselors practice four basic principals of psychedelic therapy to help someone having a difficult psychedelic experience:

  1. Create a safe space
  2. Sit, don’t guide
  3. Talk through, not down
  4. Difficult is not necessarily bad

Difficult psychedelic experiences can be among the most frightening and disturbing experiences someone could have. They are also, however, potentially among the most valuable. Difficult psychedelic experiences can be the result of external factors, such as a chaotic environment or traumatic events, or the result of painful or troubling emotions that arise during the experience. By working with these emotions, rather than trying to "talk someone down," together the sitter and the psychedelic user can make a difficult psychedelic experience an opportunity for personal growth.
There are detailed explanations of the four principals of psychedelic psychotherapy in the items below.

nice, appreciate the link. i could have used some of this info a few nights ago! friend was flipping out all night convinced he swallowed a lighter and that he was overheating, repeatedly splashing water all over his face which wound up all over the floor all night. haha.

i broke many of those rules... wasnt aware of the site/organization either. very cool stuff.

especially the "talk through, not down"


in my trips everytime that i'm like "oh shiti 'm just tripping i'll come down " i find that i'm avoiding something that i should be embracing, and the trip is soo much better when you embrace rather than avoid
