a guide for bad trips?

I'm new to the shroomery, but ive notice a lack of organized information for sitters, and those whose trip-mates are having a hard time. I've shared mushrooms and other psychedelics with friends more than once, believing it would be beneficial. On few occasions though, at least one very memorable, a fellow tripper had a particularly difficult time.
Common sense comes to mind, and although id like to think i know what to do in aforementioned situations, the one memorable time, my tripping staff did everything we could to quell the psyche of our friend, only to be thwarted by her sober boyfriend constantly asking, " what its like", "can you explain it?" "ARE YOU OKAY?"
In the future, i believe some organized info, may help myself, as well as others. Any input?
also, im not talking about anything individual, but how to help others, in the moment.

Everyone's different, so different tactics work depending on the person. Generally gonna have to find out yourself. My sitters were all worthless and I've had to work myself out of all my bad trips. I find not bringing attention to the fact somethings wrong like asking are you ok or whats wrong or everythings gonna be ok only brings attention to the fact things are going wrong. Instead focusing on things that ground you, things that are very ordinary in your life, and don't remind you you're tripping is best. Change of environment can be of serious help too, namely going outside, being in a quiet, serene space.

it wouldn't be a bad addition to the faqs on this site. In my own experience, 1. "everything is still the same, it's just the mushrooms" 2. Everything will be back to normal in a few hours 3. "you just have to let it go there's nothing you can do to stop it" 4. "you're not gonna die, it's just the mushrooms" 5. " you'll feel better in a few minutes"

thank you ohcrapitsnico, but as paducahovoids said, "it wouldnt be a bad addition to the faqs on this site"... and that was the reason for my post. it just seems if we're going to have a forum about psychedelics then, likewise, we should have as much information as possible to help those who are around people having hard times, especially if your the one that gave them whatever it is they are tripping one.
i mean, the person i mentioned, i never expected to have a bad trip. we had a good scene, a good setting, they wanted to do it, and they had a great time, up until it started hitting them really hard. they have sworn to never trip again, and i feel its my fault, for not having the mental tools i needed to calm this person down. i dont want to be responsible for making someone block out what could be a doorway to some of the most amazing experiences of their life.

You're right though about there being real scanty info on this stuff. :/
Also mentally preparing yourself for a trip the few days before hand really help especially when you're treading new ground like tripping alone or larger doses. I once decided to do 4 grams of shrooms one morning and I really didn't prepare myself and I started freaking out really early into it like I'm not ready oh god whats gonna happen and I took a bunch of benzos to abort. Prepare yourself by relaxing beforehand, setting your intentions in your mind, getting rid of bad thoughts, and preparing a plan for yourself of what could go wrong and why that really doesn't need to happen.
Just my 2 cents.
