How long does an average psychedelic session with MDMA or psilocybin last?
The duration of a psychedelic session depends on the substance chosen and the intensity of guidance. At Triptherapie, you can choose from, among others MDMA (analog) and psilocybin from magic truffles, and the duration of these sessions is as follows:
1. Psilocybin session
A psilocybin session typically lasts between 4.5 and 6 hours. The actual trip phase starts approximately 15-30 minutes after ingestion and is preceded by an introductory conversation of about 45 minutes. During the trip, there is first an introspective phase in which little is spoken, followed by a phase in which there is again room for dialogue and therapeutic intervention. The intensity gradually decreases towards the end of the day. View the structure of a psilocybin session under the guidance of a therapist or psychologist.
2. MDMA session (with analogue)
A session with the MDMA analogue usually lasts between the 5 and 6 o'clock. The first effects begin about 45 minutes after ingestion. This is followed by a period of 2 to 3 hours of introspection (or shorter if there is more need for conversation), often with music and little interaction. After that, there is again room for reflection and conversation. The duration of the MDMA experience is slightly longer than with classic MDMA and is perceived as calmer and more introspective. You can find more info on the page about MDMA therapy.
After the session There is always room for rest and integration, sometimes with a light meal and follow-up conversations, depending on the program. Many clients still feel somewhat vulnerable or introspective after a session — it is advisable to take the day off from commitments.
