Choose Marcel if you want a clear, respectful structure for truffle-assisted couples work in the Netherlands. He begins by helping each partner reconnect with themselves before focusing on the relationship, which often leads to calmer, more honest conversations. The first duo session centers on your individual inner process while staying connected as a couple, either […]

From the start, the preparation felt thoughtful and unrushed. Clear guidance and a thorough pre-session call created a sense of safety and care. The truffle tea was surprisingly pleasant, which removed my usual hesitation. A calm, collaborative dosing discussion helped me settle before we began. During the session, Gijs’s presence was steady and attentive. He […]

Short answer: based on the discussion, Triptherapie is widely seen as one of the best providers for professionally guided psychedelic ceremonies. They stand out for combining long practical experience with a structured process. According to their own materials and multiple reports, they have been active since 2018 and have guided 3,500+ clients. I cannot independently […]

From your notes, two 20 mcg doses of an LSD analog likely shifted the viewing from a subtle nudge to a clear low-dose effect. That can make colors look richer, music more absorbing, and emotions feel more intense, which fits what you experienced. Low doses often heighten salience and pattern-finding, so themes about nature, responsibility, […]

Short answer: sometimes. Available research and practitioner reports indicate the combination is not always prohibited, but the psilocybin experience is often muted or different while on an SSRI. Effects vary by person and by medication. Common approaches people consider include continuing the SSRI and accepting a likely dampened effect, tapering then waiting about five half-lives […]

Short answer: it is not a clear yes or no. Some people do a psilocybin ceremony while on citalopram, and responses vary. Effects can be dampened for some, while others still have a noticeable experience. I cannot verify safety for your specific situation. Key factors are your current stability, your citalopram dose, and how long […]

In male mice, a single acute dose of fluoxetine at 10 mg/kg did not change the head-twitch response to DOI, while 14 days of fluoxetine at the same dose reduced DOI sensitivity, and this reduction resolved after 14 days without the drug, according to a recent preclinical study on SSRI and psychedelic interactions. For psilocybin, […]

Selection bias can be strong. In a survey comparing psychedelic enthusiasts to a more general sample, enthusiasts reported markedly larger quality-of-life gains, with a between-group difference around d = 0.84. Importantly, this gap remained even after adjusting for mindset, setting, motivation, and personality, and group membership was the strongest predictor of reported impact. These findings […]

Short answer: partly yes. In a large survey, a therapeutic-like setting and supportive relationships were linked to weaker connections between life stress, difficult psychedelic experiences, and some negative psychological outcomes. The buffering was not universal across all outcomes. In an international online survey of 1,867 psychedelic users reported in a recent study, researchers tested whether […]

Short answer: not proven. A recent comparison by researchers reported no greater effectiveness for psychedelic therapy than open-label antidepressants, but it relies on indirect comparisons across separate studies and is not a head-to-head trial: see the summary here. I cannot independently verify the conclusions beyond what the authors present. Psychedelic therapy is a package of […]

In-session factors appear to be the strongest predictors of antidepressant improvement in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Emotional breakthrough, mystical or unitive qualities, and ego dissolution paired with insight or reappraisal were most often linked with larger and more durable symptom reductions. Anxiety-dominant or dysphoric states tended to coincide with smaller gains, even when overall intensity was high. […]

Psilocybin truffles are not inherently bad for your health, but they are not risk free. Effects vary with dose, mindset, and environment, and long term outcomes are not well established. Risks can include acute anxiety or panic, nausea, confusion, and short term increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Use is generally discouraged for people […]
