Is it possible to take a psychedelic session online where the client takes their own psychedelics and the guidance is remote?
In theory, this is possible, but in practice, it is inadvisable. Most people choose psychedelic sessions for their therapeutic potential. With online sessions, connection is less possible due to distance, which creates a very different dynamic. Furthermore, you cannot guarantee safety during an online session. It does not happen often, but approximately one in a thousand people taking a psychedelic trip may experience challenging moments where suicidal thoughts may even be present. At a distance, you cannot guarantee physical safety, you lack proper personal contact, and technical problems can create even more distance.
We advise to psychedelic sessions Just do it IRL (in real life) for safety and better results.

In theory, it is possible to have a psychedelic session where you take the psychedelics yourself and the guidance takes place online. In practice, this form of remote However, guidance is strongly advised against by Triptherapie.
The primary reason is safety. During a psychedelic session, unexpected and sometimes intense emotions can arise—in rare cases, even suicidal thoughts or physical reactions. A facilitator cannot intervene or provide physical support remotely. Furthermore, the therapeutic connection is often weaker via a screen, which can compromise the effectiveness of the session.
Triptherapie therefore deliberately offers only personal guidance on location on. This can take place at one of their fixed locations (such as the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam), at your home, or at accommodation of your choice, such as an Airbnb or hotel room. Through this approach, they can ensure both psychological and physical safety and build a deeper therapeutic connection.
If you are looking for flexibility but do not want an online session, it is good to know that counselors are active throughout the Netherlands and, in many cases, also come to your home. This way, you maintain the comfort of your own environment, with the professional presence of a experienced tripsitter or therapist.
