Can I become psychotic from a trip session? I have used MDMA before and psilocybin in small amounts.

The risk of psychosis during or after a psychedelic trip session with psilocybin or MDMA is for most people very small, especially if you already have experience with these products as you describe. Still, it is good that you are asking this question, because safety always comes first.

According to this extensive analysis of Triptherapie psilocybin, certainly in controlled settings such as truffle therapy, is one of the safest psychedelics. This is due to its low addiction potential and mild effects on the body. It acts primarily on serotonin-2A receptors, which are responsible for altered consciousness, but has no direct link to dopamine, the system more frequently involved in psychosis.

However, there is a important reservation: if you a have a personal or family history of psychosis or schizophrenia, then the risk is increased. People under the age of 23 also have a slightly higher chance because brain development is still ongoing. In this forum topic It is explained that people without such risk indicators can generally trip safely, especially under supervision.

Your previous use of MDMA and small amounts of psilocybin without problems is a positive sign, because it indicates that you are not immediately sensitive to psychotic reactions. However, Triptherapie always advises having a personal intake before booking a session. You can do this via the intake page of Triptherapie. During this intake, mental health, medication use, and hereditary predisposition are also screened for.

Finally: guidance by an experienced tripsitter or therapist and a well-prepared set and setting (Mental and physical environment) are crucial. This significantly reduces the risk of unwanted experiences and actually increases the chance of a positive, healing experience.
