Do you think bad trips make us more prepared for other situations?

I kinda had this random thought but I was thinking that bad trips make us able to handle ourselves better a little better in other situations. Like you are more experienced with terrifying experiences so you are more prepared. What do you guys think?

i think so, i know i have used coping strateies i developed on trips to help me through other situations. but i dont likethe term bad trip, because it makes it sound like the entire trip is bad. I have never had a trip that was all bad. I have had trips with very difficult parts, but i also experienced great ecstasies on those trips as well. So how can I say it was bad?

what caused your bad trips? bad set and setting? I guess for me the closest to an all bad trip I have had would be smoking DMT when I really should not have been smoking DMT and from the moment the trip started to the moment it ended, I just wanted it to be over. But even on that trip, there was grace and divinity percievable.

id say it works both ways.
im sure youve had previous experiances in life that prepared you for your hard trip, as well as gaining experiance from your hard trip that will prepare you for things firthur on down the road.
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

Yes if you trip for self discovery. Once you find your true self psychedelics are so much easier to handle and you don't/rarely even have bad trips. They become less of a trip and more of a living canvas for the imagination of the universe.

Having a bad trip is having an anxiety attack while hallucinating. So if that is too intense it can create PTSD and kinda fry your nerves in stressful situations making it harder to calm down.
If you can cope with your bad trip it makes it easier to steer out of bad trip territory in future psychedelic adventures.
So in my opinion it depends on how hard core it is, what type of personality you have, and how you deal with it.
Almost every bad trip is worth not having. But insights can be gained from them, it's like swallowing gross medicine without the spoonful of sugar.

Absolutely. Overcoming my 5+- hour hellish trip (i really thought i was in hell at one point) makes anything else easier to deal with, particularly any psych's.
-------------------- Excerpt from Tikhal-DMT: "As I exhaled I became terribly afraid, my heart very rapid and strong, palms sweating. A terrible sense of dread and doom filled me -- I knew what was happening, I knew I couldn't stop it, but it was so devastating; I was being destroyed -- all that was familiar, all reference points, all identity -- all viciously shattered in a few seconds. I couldn't even mourn the loss -- there was no one left to do the mourning. Up, up, out, out, eyes closed, I am at the speed of light, expanding, expanding, expanding, faster and faster until I have become so large that I no longer exist -- my speed is so great that everything has come to a stop -- here I gaze upon the entire universe." Cudi is Life.
