Can you have a truffle session if you have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)?
Yes, it is possible to a truffle session to consider if you suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). At Triptherapie, our clients' goals are taken into account, and we have protocols tailored to various issues, including BDD. Among our previous clients with BDD, we observe a reduction in symptoms in half of the participants.
Furthermore, limited scientific research has been conducted into the effectiveness of truffle sessions for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). One study, conducted by psychiatrists at the University of Zurich, investigated the effects of psilocybin in patients with various types of obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), including BDD. The results showed that psilocybin (the active ingredient in truffles) caused a significant reduction in obsessive-compulsive symptoms in participants, including a reduction in anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts. However, this study did not have a specific focus on BDD and had only a small sample size.
Another study, conducted at Cardiff University, focused specifically on BDD patients who were treated with psilocybin. The results showed that psilocybin improved body image perception and negative thoughts about appearance in participants. These improvements persisted up to three months after treatment.
Although these studies and our own experiences show promising results, additional research is needed to further substantiate the effectiveness and safety of truffles/psilocybin in the treatment of BDD.
